We've already gone over Joe Flacco's touchdown numbers, and why they are unsustainably low, and a bounce-back in touchdown numbers for Flacco would obviously translate to more touchdowns for his pass-catchers, including Dennis Pitta.
Pitta's 60 targets are the most for any player without a touchdown this season, and that has obviously been a big blow to his fantasy value. Despite that, though, he has shown a lot of promise, garnering at least eight targets in five of his last seven games.
As it is for Flacco, this matchup against the 31st-ranked Browns pass defense, per our metrics, is a good one for Pitta, too. Pitta also gains a lot of appeal from the fact that Cleveland has allowed the league's most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends.
