"With another prolific tight end in Arizona's Trey McBride also taking the field on Sunday, Pitts has another opportunity to increase his profile. McBride is one of the NFL's highest-paid tight ends, averaging $19 million per year on a deal he signed earlier this year. Should Pitts prove to be the more productive tight end on the field in this battle, it could do wonders for his price tag as an impending free agent."
"Wide receiver Drake London is expected back in the lineup, and the Pitts' production with and without him in the lineup is stark. In the 9 games they've played together, Pitts averages four catches for 42 yards on six targets. Meanwhile, with London out of the lineup for five games, Pitts averages seven catches for 84 yards on nine targets. Pitts has also generated eight of his 12 explosive plays of 20-plus yards without London on the field."
Kyle Pitts is coming off a monster game and faces Arizona's Trey McBride, offering a chance to raise his market value. McBride averages $19 million per year, making the matchup significant for Pitts' impending free agency. Drake London is expected to return, and Pitts' production varies sharply with London in the lineup. In nine games with London, Pitts averages four catches for 42 yards on six targets; in five games without London, he averages seven catches for 84 yards on nine targets and has produced most explosive plays. Right guard Chris Lindstrom remains under contract and will matchup with Calais Campbell and Walter Nolen.
