The Facts: Given what he's been through in recent years, Pitta deserves to be listed for just getting back onto the field and getting through the program healthy. He did much more than that, and was one of the more active and productive offensive players for the past couple of weeks.
Diehards Line:
According to Sun staffer Jeff Zrebiec, Pitta is moving well and caught just about everything thrown in his direction in OTAs and minicamp work. He’s always going to be at risk of reinjuring his hip, but for now, Pitta feels good and looks like he can be a significant contributor. This echoes comments from Sarah Ellison of the team's official web site, who told listeners during a recent appearance with the FootballDiehards on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio not to sleep on the veteran, who is Joe Flacco's best friend off the field and who has demonstrated great chemistry with the QB as part of that. The bigger news for fantasy owners would be Pitta further diluting an already crowded field at TE, where newcomer Ben Watson joins Crockett Gilmore and Maxx Williams on a talented depth chart.
