Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football dilemma for a while now, and I figured I’d share my thought process. It’s the classic “who do I start” question, this time featuring Dallas Goedert and Kyle Pitts.
First, I looked at their overall performance this season. Goedert’s been pretty solid, you know, a reliable target, especially in the red zone. He gets those consistent catches, which is great for PPR leagues.
Then I checked out Pitts. Man, the talent is there, the potential is huge, but the consistency? Not so much. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster with him, some big games, some total duds.
Matchup Deep Dive
So, after the overall look, I dug into this week’s matchups.
- Goedert’s playing against a team that’s been pretty average against tight ends. Nothing too scary, nothing too exciting. Just…average.
- Pitts, on the other hand, is facing a defense that’s been TOUGH on tight ends. Like, bottom of the league tough. That gave me some serious pause.
The Gut Feeling (and Some Other Stuff)
Beyond the numbers, I also considered a few other things. I heard some rumblings about Goedert maybe being a little banged up, nothing major, but it’s something to keep in mind. Also, I have a feeling Atlanta really gonna put the ball on the line, and that’s why they need Pitts.
My gut feeling? It was a tough one. Part of me wanted to go with the upside of Pitts, hoping for that breakout game. But the matchup, and the slight worry about Goedert, pushed me in the other direction.
Finally, I made the call. I went with Goedert. It felt like the safer play, the more reliable option. Pitts might explode, but I just couldn’t risk a potential zero against that tough * is so exciting that Goedert helps me got a high score this week!
So, that’s my story. That’s how I wrestled with the Goedert vs. Pitts decision and ultimately landed on Goedert. Hope this helps anyone else facing the same tough choice!
