Video: Top 10 Takeaways You NEED to Know BEFORE Week 16 (PLAYOFFS)
Pitts had a 45-piece, Trevor Lawrence 44-piece for two of the four highest-scoring games this season... 15-plus uh PPR points in three of his last three... Sadly, it's really been more of a Drake London thing. Drake London hasn't played in those games, so that's why Pitts has really been shining... once London gets back, Pitts becomes kind of an afterthought... he's still going to be somebody who can start on a weekly basis, but right now he's like a must-start with London out. With London back in, he's probably more like a streamer.

Kyle Pitts 45 PPR in week 15, but production tied to Drake London's absence

Kyle Pitts scored 45 PPR points in week 15 (one of the four highest-scoring games by any player this season) and has posted 15+ PPR points in three consecutive games. He is on pace for the most receiving yards by a tight end before turning 26, joining elite company (Gronkowski, Witten, Gonzalez, Kellen Winslow). However, his recent production is heavily dependent on Drake London's absence; once London returns, Pitts transitions from a must-start to a weekly streamer. The source emphasizes Pitts can still start on a weekly basis but will become less of a focal point in the offense.
