From the episode

Kyle Pitts is sort of your prototypical in any game you think the Falcons can win. We are not going to see very much of Kyle Pitts because this coaching staff does not trust him to block at all. But he had a 93% share of the 11 personnel early down snaps. 49% of that was in weeks one through five. So a huge, huge adjustment there. But in my opinion, that only happened because of the scoreline.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Pitts' Week 6 snap surge was game-script driven; expect reduced role in close games.

Kyle Pitts had a 93% share of 11 personnel early down snaps in Week 6, up from 49% in weeks one through five, but the source attributes this spike to game script (Falcons being down immediately) rather than a sustainable role increase. In close games, the coaching staff will deploy Nick Muse, Charlie Warner, and Austin Hooper for blocking purposes, as the staff does not trust Pitts to block. The source characterizes Pitts as a low-end streamer with an insane ceiling but limited floor due to role constraints.
