Are you a Kyle Pitts owner in fantasy football? Get in here!
For those fantasy football owners who put their faith in Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts for the first week of the playoffs, you're being rewarded.
Pitts is going absolutely nuts in the first half of the Week 15 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with the veteran tight end reeling in six catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
For full points-per-reception leagues, Pitts has posted a whopping 29 points, and maybe more if your league gives bonuses for 100-yard games.
Making Pitts' performance even more impressive is the fact that he had just one touchdown the entire season going into Thursday night, and he had not posted a 100-yard game at all this season.
If you're thinking it has been a long time since the former No. 4 overall pick has had a 100-yard showing, you'd be right. You'd have to go all the way back to the Week 16 game of Pitts' rookie campaign when he posted 102 yards.
For those of you going up against Pitts, we feel bad for you, but you should've been a believer and you wouldn't have been in this position.
Now, we'll have to see if Pitts can stay hot in the second half.
Far too often we see players have a huge start to games like Pitts is enjoying, only to disappoint the rest of the game.
Even if he does follow that same path, we couldn't have asked for any more than what Pitts has already provided on Thursday night.
