Week 13 of the NFL season is a difficult one for fantasy football since there are six teams on bye, many injuries, and you may find yourself in a must-win situation. Facing off against someone who started DK Metcalf would only make this situation worse. Now, you're forced to start the best possible lineup, and Kyle Pitts fantasy football owners will be faced with a tough decision.
As I said, six teams are not playing this week. This, coupled with injuries, may mean you don't have a better option than Kyle Pitts. However, let me tell you why you may have better options since he is not looking great this week.
Kyle Pitts Will Bust in NFL Week 13
I would love for one of the "Kyle Pitts truthers" to tell me one thing he does well. Well, aside from being overdrafted in both fantasy and reality. This week, he faces a matchup with the New York Jets that is enough for you to sit him despite all of the teams on bye.
To call Pitts a tight end would be ignorant. He has lined up as an in-line tight end on 27% of his snaps this season. However, Kyle Pitts has lined up out wide on 26% of the snaps and in the slot on 45%. Since he is unable to get separation by himself consistently, the Falcons use him in the slot to help him out. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
I say all of this to say that Kyle Pitts is a wide receiver and the Jets will guard him like one. The Jets surrender the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Pitts is an obvious "sit" in the Week 13 Fantasy Football Start 'em, Sit 'em.
