Dennis Pitta could be prime for a big game when the Baltimore Ravens host the Cleveland Browns in Week 10.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Dennis Pitta a tempting play vs. Browns
Dennis Pitta is in a bit of a slump, but the Browns are the worst defense at defending tight ends.

Pitta is in a slump that has seen him catch just six passes for 54 yards over the last two weeks. For the year, he is averaging five catches per game, which has made him a solid PPR tight end most weeks.
It also helps that he is now the No. 1 tight end on the roster with Crockett Gilmore (thigh) out in Week 10 and Maxx Williams (knee) on injured reserve. This could make Pitta a sneaky-good fantasy play vs. a Browns defense that struggles to stop anyone.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Pitta as the 13th-best tight end in Week 10. He faces a Ravens defense allowing the most fantasy points to tight ends this season.
Depending on who your top tight end, is and if he is playing this week, plan on starting Pitta on Thursday Night Football, but only in PPR leagues.
