Dennis Pitta, TE, Baltimore Ravens

I just can't stop writing about Dennis Pitta. I outlined last week why we should be taking him seriously, and he proceeded to lead tight ends with 12 targets in Week 2, at which point I went over why you should grab him off waivers.

If Pitta is still available in your league (as he is in 70.8% of ESPN leagues still), go get him.

Pitta's upcoming schedule is about as easy as it can get. The Baltimore Ravens have four straight games against teams that had a pass defense that ranked in the bottom half of the league in 2015, per our metrics, including three teams that allowed top-6 fantasy production to opposing tight ends last year.

Pitta saw 27% of the team's targets against the Cleveland Browns last week, and he should be a strong fantasy option for at least the next few weeks if he keeps getting significant volume.
