Video: Kyle Pitts Is Primed for a 2026 Encore — My TE5
The damning part here are the splits with and without Drake London. Cuz let's face it, down the stretch of the season, it was with Drake London first sidelined and then just kind of a shell of himself coming off his own PCL that he was trying to play through. So, Kyle Pitts last year, without Drake London on the field, 2.56 yards per route run, that's the second best mark among tight ends. His targets per route run, first. With London on the field, those numbers slip to 35th and 33rd, guys.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalInjury

PCL injury recovery status critical; full health would limit Pitts' target opportunity.

Drake London's health status is a critical variable for 2026 fantasy planning. London dealt with a PCL injury late in 2025 and played through it as a shell of himself down the stretch. When London was on the field, Kyle Pitts' efficiency metrics collapsed: yards per route run dropped to 35th (from 2.56/2nd without London) and targets per route run fell to 33rd (from 1st without London). London's return to full health in 2026 would reduce Pitts' target share and route participation, making London's availability and recovery trajectory a key monitoring point.
