Need is more at TE, but is picking Pitts over Chase mad? It's 0.5 PPR, no TE premium, but extra points for 1st down catches.

Re: Pitts or Chase
Chase easily between the two.
Re: Pitts or Chase
The next hyped up 1st round TE to be a top 3 fantasy player at that position within his first 3 years will be the first to ever do so.
2019: Hock, Fant
2018: Hurst
2017: OJHoward, Engram, NJoku
2014: Ebron
2013: Eifert (after, Greshem, Cincy's previous 1st rd TE savior busted)
2010: Greshem
2006: Vernon Davis
etc etc etc
Every few years we hear "It's different with THIS tight end because ..." but it's never the breakout stupendous player we're sold.
Take Chase and enjoy the rewards. If your roster is absolutely rock solid at every position, sure, go ahead and spend that high 1st to take a chance on the newest TE savior.

Re: Pitts or Chase
Chase unless its TE premium of some sort
Re: Pitts or Chase
Chase for me out of the 2 to be clear, but out of that entire list none of them are comparable to pitts except for Davis and the game is completely changed since then. Pitts is basically a receiver, he was drafted 4 overall, teams are throwing more than ever. Not allowing your evaluations to change for a transcendent talent is more of a mistake IMO than drafting a Te when none has done it before.Anteaters wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 6:28 am The next hyped up 1st round TE to be a top 3 fantasy player at that position within his first 3 years will be the first to ever do so.

I still like Chase though.

Some of the TEs mentioned above were very high picks.

I know people are saying Pitts is "special" and the position is changing, but that sounds a lot like trying to time the stock market and it's nearly as impossible. I think the much safer picks are the top 2-3 RBs and top 2-3 WRs, and I'm okay potentially missing out on a once-in-a-generation lucky strike if Chase is the other option. I just have a hard time trusting myself to be right choosing which rookie is going to do that thing that has never been done before AND revolutionize his position forever more. I don't think I'm smart enough to see that one coming.

Re: Pitts or Chase
The smart play is Chase.
Re: Pitts or Chase
Of the top 10 WR's taken in 2020 rookie drafts, maybe half the owners are happy with their pick. To make it seem like TE is the only position we misdraft is not logical to me. Could he miss, sure. Could he take 2-3 years to develop, sure. That can be said for every single pick, why be scared because of his position? Chase is literally the only non QB in this draft I feel confident will be a stud.Anteaters wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 9:49 am Some of the TEs mentioned above were very high picks.

I am just a guy sharing some thoughts
Re: Pitts or Chase
I certainly don’t blame you for just fading him since the options around him are good as well, (I have chase over him unless it’s 2ppr for te) but speaking to the hock example- he’s an in-line all around TE and was drafted from memory toward the end of the 1st in rookie drafts. Lots of people had fant ahead of him who wasn’t close to the polished player pitts is. Ebron may be a similar player comp player wise but wasn’t close to the talent.Anteaters wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 9:49 amSome of the TEs mentioned above were very high picks.

One of my main arguments though is that I think a lot of people point to the potential for him to bust but seem to ignore the high bust rate of other positions. TE has the highest fantasy bust rate by far but with the game changing and him being a transcendent talent, I’m comfortable with that risk at the right spot. Passing on him for Williams/smith/waddle is a mistake in my opinion, and I still like all 3 of those players.
Re: Pitts or Chase
It's not so much that I think Pitts will be a bust. I think he'll be a good fantasy TE.Mtt33 wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 10:10 am One of my main arguments though is that I think a lot of people point to the potential for him to bust but seem to ignore the high bust rate of other positions.

Passing on him for Williams/smith/waddle is a mistake in my opinion, and I still like all 3 of those players.
My problem is I don't think a good fantasy TE is worth a top 8 fantasy pick, usually not a first round pick at all. My concession is that I think Pitts can be a good bet for TE success and I'll move him into the last few 1st round picks, for most average dynasty team builds that's maybe 1.10 and later in 1qb leagues.
Other positions bust. The question isn't whether I'd rather have Pitts or Reagor at 1.06. The real question is, would I rather have the chance to draft JJefferson or Gibson or Dobbins or Akers or Lamb. The real question is would you rather have the chance to draft the next Hock or the next Akers or Lamb.
For me to succeed on a WR/RB selection at 1.05, I just need to get average lucky with my pick and draft a top10-15 future producer. For me to succeed by choosing Pitts, I have to get once-in-a-lifetime lucky and hope he becomes the best TE in the history of the NFL. That's a lot to ask. If Pitts is a top5 TE fantasy talent, he's Hock. Hock is marginally better than Goedert and Gesicki and Fant. That's not good enough to pass on the chance to get a Lamb or Akers - not in my book.

Re: Pitts or Chase
Its hard for me to choose between Pitts and Chase, both are exceptional talents in great situations. Both have concerns as well. Chase opted out for covid 19, history hasn't been kind to wrs who opt out a year and come back. Pitts only real concern is the fact that he's a TE and the history of early round TEs. I think it's easy to over look both issues here though. Pitts isn't like a TE, he's more like a WR with a TE designation. If he declared as a WR I'd prob take chase first and him second. I'd still take him over waddle, smith, Bateman, etc. Chase opted out for covid, as did many players, and I think this year is an exception that we can't pull past data over to compare as easily.
It's hard to ignore Chase playing with an elite young qb he developed chemistry with in college. Pitts can provide such a positional advantage at TE and playing in Atl with Ryan is an amazing landing spot for him.
I think it comes down to risk tolerance. Pitts is slightly riskier but with a much higher reward IMO and a very safe floor. Chase is more likely to contribute this year, and probably a safer bet overall. You don't win championships by playing it safe, that gets you middle of the pack with a midround pick every year. I have the 2nd and 3rd pick and the guy with the 1st is taking chase making my decision easy. Pitts and Harris for me.
