From the episode
Hell no. I want nothing to do with Kyle Pitts. I've got him buried in my rankings as tight end 20 this week... The coverage matchup for Kyle Pitts looks horrible. The 49ers have the 10th highest rate of single high at 55% of their defensive snaps... Kyle Pitts versus single high is nonexistent. Over the entirety of the season right now, Kyle Pitts has a 15% target per route run rate versus single high. You look at versus two high, that jumps to 24%... the 49ers are awesome versus tight ends. They've given up the seven-fewest yards per target, second-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to the position.
STACKED’s take
Pitts' 15% target rate vs. single high and 49ers' elite TE defense make him TE20.
Derek Brown has Kyle Pitts ranked as TE20, far below consensus (TE11). The coverage matchup for Pitts against the 49ers looks horrible. The 49ers run single high at the 10th highest rate (55% of snaps), and the Falcons' passing attack is heavily focused on Drake London versus single high. Pitts' target per route run rate versus single high is only 15% compared to 24% versus two high; yards per route run drops from 1.9 versus two high to 1.04 versus single high. Outside of the coverage splits, the 49ers are excellent versus tight ends, giving up the 7th fewest yards per target and 2nd fewest fantasy points per opportunity. Derek Brown states he wants nothing to do with Pitts and would stream tight ends like Pat Freiermuth, Mark Andrews, Hunter Henry, Dalton Schultz, Michael Mayer, AJ Barner, or even Darnell Washington over him. Pat Fitzmaurice is at TE18, also significantly lower than consensus. The 49ers have not given up a touchdown to a tight end this season.
