Kyle Pitts is part of the Falcons' Big 3 (Bijan + London + Pitts) with touches concentrated among them. The Falcons added Austin Hooper, giving them a third experienced TE option alongside Pitts and blocker Charlie Woerner. Stefanski's scheme features multi-TE formations on early downs and is highly likely to lean on 12 personnel (two TEs) on early downs in neutral-ish situations, given significant investments in TE depth. Kyle Pitts' route share is a key trend to monitor early in the season.NegativeProjectionJul 28, 2026
Pitts' 11-166-3 eruption in Week 15 shows upside potential, and a strong encore is in play given the play-caller (David Njoku and Harold Fannin have four top-8 seasons since 2022) and QB (Tua got a lot out of Jonnu Smith and Darren Waller). However, the splits with and without Drake London are "pretty damning," suggesting target competition concerns that limit ceiling.NegativeProjectionJul 28, 2026
Pitts had more receiving yards than Juwan Johnson in 2025, placing him among the league's most productive tight ends.NegativeRoleJul 28, 2026

11-166-3 eruption in Week 15 was a helluva drug, and a Jay-Z level encore is in play considering the play-caller (David Njoku and Harold Fannin have four top-8 seasons since 2022) and QB (Tua got a lot out of Jonnu Smith and Darren Waller). The Dolphins' offensive environment could support a strong 2026 season.
