From the video
the thing with Pitts is it kind of comes down to the game scripts... they're using him more around the line of line of scrimmage... when you have Drake London really working all the intermediate and then deeper stuff, then that really means like, 'Okay, who's going to clean up underneath if it's not Bijan?' And that has been Kyle Pitts. So, I think that's a real positive develop from development for him... Can I can I interest you in a little bit of Kyle Pitts, man? Four touchdowns in his last three games... he's been a top five, top six tight end in fantasy land for the better part of the last month now...
STACKED’s take
Role shift to underneath work is positive; 4 TDs in 3 games, top-5 TE
Route share has stabilized around 65% (down from 70% range in prior weeks but up from 40s early season); key shift is average depth of target moving from vertical seam-stretcher role to line-of-scrimmage work, positioning him as the underneath option when Drake London handles intermediate/deeper routes. This role evolution is a positive development because Pitts' linear speed and angle-beating ability suit short-area work better than his hit-or-miss vertical role. Game script matters: Falcons' run-heavy, lead-based games suppress Pitts, but games where opponents push them create safer volume for him. Per Ian Hartitz, Pitts has posted four touchdowns in his last three games and has been a top-five to top-six tight end in fantasy for the better part of the last month, with route participation solid at 65% in Week 7 after seeing 70% range in three of the last four games.
