The Bengals. They were horrible against tight ends last year and are only a little better this season, giving up, on average, 5.3 PPG more than the average defense does to the position. For the second straight season, QB Michael Penix Jr. and Pitts have been best buds against man coverage, being the primary reason for most big Pitts days.

Positive signalMatchup

Bengals' weak TE defense and Penix-Pitts man coverage connection make him flex-worthy.

The Bengals were horrible against tight ends last year and are only a little better this season, giving up on average 5.3 PPG more than the average defense does to the position; they struggle up the middle in general and often find themselves in shootouts. Cincinnati plays a high amount of man coverage, and Pitts is the seventh-best in fantasy points per route this season if he were a WR. For the second straight season, QB Michael Penix Jr. and Pitts have been best buds against man coverage, being the primary reason for most big Pitts days.
