Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta will be placed on injured reserve-designated to return next week. Per league rules, Pitta will be out for at least the first six weeks.
Dennis Pitta to be placed on injured reserve-designated to return, fantasy value still alive
The Ravens will place Dennis Pitta on injured reserve-designated to return. We break down the fantasy implications.
He's working really hard," coach John Harbaugh said. "He's had no setbacks, and there's optimism." Pitta suffered a dislocated hip and most reports had him out for the season. The Ravens have been desperately seeking pass catchers and brought in aging Dallas Clark and Brandon Stokley.
Fantasy impact: Simply put, unless your league has an IR spot, this news doesn’t interest you for the most part. If you do have an IR spot, Pitta is a great player to put on your team. A dislocated hip is not something that heals quickly, but the Ravens need Pitta so badly, that they’re not ready to give up on him. He could have been a top-five TE, so most league owners that didn’t grab a tight end early, should keep an eye on the news for Pitta.
