Fantasy Football Player Notes

It may not be the elite fantasy season we had hoped for from the third year back, but there have been plenty of glimpses that an incredible season may only be a matter of time. Over his last six games, he has four games over 25 Half PPR points. Arguably, what is most impressive is how well-rounded his production has been. With 70-plus rushing yards in each of his last seven games, he also has two consecutive games with over 80 receiving yards. Even though they face a very tough Rams run defense, this offense runs through the RB, and he should see plenty of opportunities to have another good fantasy week.

It's hard to trust players returning from PCL injuries. We were all reminded that the hard way, when London only caught three of his eight targets for 27 yards. Usually, it would be an easy choice to bench after a performance like this. However, they face the Rams this week, who have allowed the fifth most fantasy points to the WR position since Week 10. If you have made it to your championship game, hopefully, you have a safer option to plug in. When you are as good as London, he could always manage a good fantasy day. This is truly a gut call for anyone fighting for a championship.

We finally answered the question of what would happen to Pitts when Drake London returned. Well, sort of. It was clear that London is still not fully healthy, allowing Pitts to continue his role as the top target on this offense. In his last two games, Pitts has scored four of his 15 career touchdowns. That's incredible. This week, the Falcons have a tough task against the Rams. Although the Rams' defense has hovered around league average against the TE position, the Falcons will need to find a way to keep up with Matthew Stafford and company. As a result, if Pitts continues to operate as the top receiving weapon, he should find his way to his fifth consecutive top-seven performance at the position.
