Best NFL Plays of the Week: Kyle Pitts Breakout Game

Justice Hill is very questionable to play and the Colts have been only moderately successful in stopping the run thus far. This leaves Gus Edwards as the primary ball carrier which means to me that the Ravens probably will try to be throwing the ball as much as possible. I can see Lamar not only passing for about 240 to 250 yards but also running for another 50 yards and possibly a touchdown. I think this could be one of the biggest weeks that he has all season.
Running Back
Kenneth Walker, Seattle Seahawks
My visionary play of the week is Walker. Carolina has struggled to stop the run and I really fear that with Andy Dalton under center, there are going to be a lot of three-and-outs and the defense is going to get very tired. Even though the Seahawks offensive line is still not fully healthy, it’s easy to envision Pete Carroll giving Walker at least 20 carries which lines him up for 100+ yards rushing and a TD.
Wide Receiver
Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns
The Titans are a pass funnel which fits right into Amari Cooper’s wheelhouse. Cooper always plays better at home and he should be able to rack up the receptions and receiving yards this week. If there were ever a game to start him, this would be it.
Tight End
Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons
The Lions have given up the most yards to opposing tight ends this season and if you think about it, they didn't even have Travis Kelce playing against them in Week 1. In Week 2, Seattle’s tight ends played very well and were open all over the field. Is this finally the week that Pitts stops disappointing and finally breaks out? I think it is.
