Fantasy Football Panic Meter: Kyle Pitts might not be the TE we thought he was

It can be so easy to panic in fantasy football. After all, we have a very limited amount of time to witness and analyze a player’s performance. But never fear — Dalton Del Don is here to gauge exactly how worried we should be — if at all.

Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons

Pitts’ targets have dropped every season of his career, and he’s now losing them to Charlie Woerner. Pitts is dead last in ESPN’s receiving score and ranks fourth on his own team in first-read target rate. I’m beginning to think he may not live up to the hype. Pitts’ panic level is higher than Snoop Dogg.

Garrett Wilson, New York Jets

Wilson has fewer catches, yards, touchdowns and yards per route run through four weeks this season compared to last despite now having a four-time MVP winner throwing to him. He ranks 77th in yards per target, 62nd in catchable target rate and third worst in ESPN’s receiving score. Rodgers’ Passer Rating is 27 points higher when throwing to anyone but Wilson this season.

Wilson has been a top 12 fantasy WR once (when he was WR10) over his last 26 games! The Raiders have three wide receivers averaging more fantasy points. Rodgers is already hobbled with a swollen knee in what remains a shaky offensive system, and crucially, Wilson’s extremely difficult schedule continues over the next month.

Wilson is an awesome receiver who just turned 24 years old and ranks 11th in expected fantasy points. He should also secure more back shoulder throws the more he builds chemistry with Rodgers, so some regression is coming. But there’s real panic for a WR with a top-12 ADP, and Wilson’s value would sink further should New York trade for Davante Adams.

Breece Hall, New York Jets

Hall had a career-low four rushing yards and was outperformed by Braelon Allen during New York’s loss to Denver. Hall totaled 18 yards on 15 opportunities, while Allen had 36 on nine. Hall was stuffed on back-to-back goal line runs (Allen replaced him for the following two pass plays), and…
