Interesting Players
Kyle Pitts (TE, ATL) | My Rank: TE3, Consensus Rank: TE5
It’s difficult to overstate how good Kyle Pitts’ usage has been when Drake London is sidelined this season. In four weeks without London (Week 8 and the last three weeks), he has averaged a 27% target share and a 31% air yards share on an 88% route participation rate. All three of those numbers would lead the entire TE position for the season. With London out again for TNF, Pitts arguably deserves to be even higher than third among TEs.
Emeka Egbuka (WR, TB) | My Rank: WR22, Consensus Rank: WR27
Speaking of players with elite usage, we have Emeka Egbuka. I have fully flipped my stance on Egbuka as the season has gone on. Early in the year, I was skeptical of the rookie, as his usage didn’t match his red-hot start.
Now, we are in the opposite situation. Egbuka is seeing genuinely elite usage, but the results haven’t been there. He has averaged a whopping 31% target share and a 47% air yards share since Week 8 … to go with just 7.6 half-PPR points per game. Just like it eventually did when he was outperforming his usage early in the year, I expect Egbuka’s efficiency to regress back toward league average, which is why I’m higher than consensus on him right now.
Check back later in the week for previews of the rest of Week 15’s games!
