Dennis Pitta led the Ravens in targets this week, and his 12 targets were as many as the second- and third-highest marks on the team combined.
I took a look last week at why we need to start taking Pitta seriously again, and his efficiency combined with playing in a tight-end friendly offense under Marc Trestman make him a very real fantasy option, as he proved this week with a 19.2-fantasy-point performance.
As an added bonus, his upcoming stretch of games are just about as good as you can ask for:

| 5 | Washington | 22nd | 15th |
| 6 | New York Giants | 16th | 31st |
