Ravens to go with TE duo again in 2012 -- Fri Jun 29 4:25 pm --
Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta give Baltimore flexibility | We saw the Baltimore Ravens employ plenty of two-tight-end sets last season, and that should continue in 2012. Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta give quarterback Joe Flacco a pair of productive targets. The team's official website pegs Dickson as the starter, but we're not sure the designation matters. Both should see plenty of playing time. The Ravens love what this duo brings to the offense, and the key word here is flexibility. These guys won't make you forget about Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez in New England, but Baltimore's tight ends combined for 94 catches, 932 yards and eight touchdowns last season. Dickson led with 54, but Pitta came on late and developed chemistry with Flacco. (NFL.com)
FF Today's Take: Pitta found the endzone three times in his final five season games and once in two playoff games, so it's evident that Joe Flacco trusts him as a red zone target. This could hinder Dickson's fantasy value but also take away from the touchdown totals of veteran Anquan Boldin and 23-year-old up-and-coming wide receiver Torrey Smith.
