  "account": "In Week 9 of fantasy football, tight ends Kyle Pitts and Brenton Strange are similarly ranked. Both are strong options for starters. Pitts has had a mixed performance this season, with limited fantasy points in Week 8, but he has been a consistent threat in previous weeks, ranking among the top tight ends in fantasy points per game and touchdowns to receptions. Strange, on the other hand, has had a modest start to the season, ranking 12th in fantasy points per game since Week 4. He has seen solid volume in the Jaguars' offense, generating the 14th-highest target share at the tight end position. However, Strange has only scored one touchdown this season and has been inconsistent in the red zone. The upcoming matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the fourth-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to tight ends, could provide Pitts with an advantage. Despite the risk involved in starting Pitts in an inconsistent Atlanta Falcons offense, his higher ceiling in terms of touchdowns makes him the better play between the two in Week 9.",
