Dennis Pitta (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in 10-team leagues

Owned in: 9% of FleaFlicker leagues

Analysis: Did you listen to me last week when I told you to pick Pitta up? No?

While I am sure Pitta was picked up in a handful of leagues, he is probably still available in most fantasy leagues. But he won’t be for long after his big performance this past Sunday. Pitta cemented his candidacy as a Comeback Player of the Year frontrunner by catching nine Joe Flacco passes for 102 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2.  He looked like the Dennis Pitta who had 669 yards and seven scores back in 2012 before two hip surgeries limited him to just seven games between 2013 and 2015.

Pitta leads Baltimore in receptions, yards, targets and even 20-yard receptions.  He and speed-burner Mike Wallace have been pleasant surprises for Ravens fans and fantasy owners the first two weeks.  Pitta should continue to be a fantasy force (and an inspiration) as long as he stays healthy.
