From the article

Kyle Pitts has been an afterthought so far in 2026...the tight end position as a whole. The Falcons rank 30th in targeting the tight end position, with just 13 throws...It seems like a zero-sum game where both players rarely thrive simultaneously because their skill sets overlap as 'power slot' receivers.

Pitts underutilized at 13 team TE targets; overlaps with London in power slot role.

Pitts has been an afterthought through three games in 2026, receiving just 13 total tight end targets for the entire Falcons offense (ranked 30th in TE targeting). Despite being extended this offseason and lining up inline on 43% of routes (consistent with his breakout season rate), Pitts struggles to thrive in the offense because his skill set as a 'power slot' receiver overlaps with Drake London's, creating a zero-sum dynamic where both players rarely produce simultaneously.
