0:00.0 | In this video, we're going to be breaking down five players that you need to be trading away off your fantasy teams, not now, but right now. |
0:05.8 | These players are currently at their peak value of the season, and if you keep them on your team, they're only going to perform worse for you moving forward. |
0:11.6 | And we can start with the first player here, and it's the Atlanta Falcons tight end, Kyle Pitts, who is absolutely red hot right now. And look, I get it. Kyle Pitts might be that guy for you that's burned you in past years, |
0:20.9 | and now he's finally producing, so you're like, Sal, why would I trade him? I understand that. |
0:24.6 | Like, that's completely fair if you don't want to be trading Kyle Pitts right now. You could hold |
0:28.3 | on to him, but I'm just trying to tell you to trade him so you can actually upgrade your team |
0:31.6 | with a more consistent piece. That's the point of this entire video. Because sure, Pitts is coming off of this game where he put up 25 vantage points. Insane for the tight end position, something you rarely see. Arguably, and probably |
0:41.6 | was his best game of his career because he only had, look, he only had four catches, only |
0:45.1 | had five targets. This wasn't some massive volume game. His role didn't change in any dramatic way. |
0:49.6 | He just scored two touchdowns. He put up 91 receiving yards. But half of those receiving yards, more than half, |
0:54.9 | 49 of them came on one play where he scores a touchdown because he's left wide open in that |
0:59.4 | game. His role didn't change in this game. Like he might have played a couple of more snaps |
1:02.9 | out of the slot than usual, but for the most part, that's still Drake London's role this season, |
1:07.6 | the guy that gets motioned into the slot. Now, over the past four games, you start to |
1:10.9 | see some nice usage for Kyle Pitts. He's running 80% of the routes. We need that number to be |
1:14.8 | around 80% if we could really trust him moving forward. So that's good to see, although he only |
1:18.6 | ran 61% percent. Again, his usage didn't change. If anything, it went down, 61% of the routes |
1:23.0 | in week eight, and 19% of the targets during this four game stretch. So 19% of the targets during this four-game stretch. So 19% of the targets is solid, |
1:29.6 | but is it elite? It is it the 24% that we were hoping coming into the season? No, because |
1:34.3 | Darnamuni has been more involved in this offense. And let's also keep in mind that Drake London |
1:38.1 | isn't going to just go for seven fantasy points every single game. Four catches for 34 yards |
1:42.7 | on only six targets. I mean, this was a complete |
