Kyle Pitts has opened the 2026 regular season with zero receiving touchdowns through four games, managing just five receptions for 67 yards on nine targets for the Atlanta Falcons. His limited early role stems from modest snap counts and target competition from wide receiver Drake London, plus blocking tight end Austin Hooper, who scored in Week 3. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr.'s return from ACL surgery has stabilized the passing game, and Pitts showed a modest uptick with three catches for 47 yards in the Week 4 win over New Orleans. The Falcons face a difficult Week 5 matchup against the Ravens' defense before a stretch of games that could increase opportunities if route participation rises or red-zone usage expands. Pitts posted five touchdowns across 17 games in 2025.
