Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since Week 5, Kyle Pitts has been the TE6 in fantasy points per game, but he has turned in stinkers in each of the last two games with a combined 7.9 PPR points. An issue in those games that isn't going away is Michael Penix's poor play. In those games, Pitts had an 18.2% target share and 25% first-read share, but only 50% of his targets were deemed catchable. This explains his 29 receiving yards and 0.63 YPRR. We'll see if Pitts can bounce back this week. Over their last five games, Kansas City has allowed the 11th-most yards per target and the third-most receiving fantasy points per game to tight ends. I want to be hopeful, but I just saw Penix crush Pitts against Cincy, who has been unable to stop tight ends all season.
