Kyle Pitts enters the 2026 season on a new three-year extension after posting a career-high five receiving touchdowns in 2025, but he has yet to score through four games amid a slow start that includes just five receptions for 67 yards. The Falcons’ offense under Kevin Stefanski has leaned on Bijan Robinson’s ground game and Drake London as the primary passing option, while Pitts has seen reduced snap share and target volume early, often prioritizing blocking duties. Michael Penix Jr.’s return at quarterback has boosted play-action usage and middle-field throws, though Pitts’ red-zone involvement remains limited compared to prior years. His recent three-catch, 47-yard outing against New Orleans offers a modest uptick, but consistent production will depend on increased route participation and how the scheme integrates the tight end alongside the run-heavy attack.
