Kyle Pitts has accumulated just 109 receiving yards through five games in 2026, with a slow start yielding only 20 yards over the first three weeks before posting 47 and 42 yards in Weeks 4 and 5. The Atlanta Falcons' passing attack has prioritized wide receiver Drake London and running back Bijan Robinson, limiting Pitts to a distant third option and resulting in just 15 targets overall. Quarterback instability, including Michael Penix Jr.'s rib injury and Tua Tagovailoa's involvement, has further constrained opportunities, though Pitts signed a three-year extension this offseason after an 88-928-5 line in 2025. His PFF receiving grade sits at 63.5, ranking 26th among tight ends, with upcoming matchups against the Bears, 49ers, and others testing whether usage rebounds.
