The Falcoholic on Kyle Pitts
From the article
in the 10 games that Pitts played alongside a relatively healthy London before the latter's knee injury, his yards per route run were 1.36, marginally better than his 1.33 figure from 2024. Comparatively, that figure matches the production of Noah Fant from 2025, who signed a deal averaging about $4.4 million per year
STACKED’s take
Pitts' elite 2025 stats came against practice-squad receivers; he underperformed with London healthy.
Pitts' production is heavily dependent on playing alongside an injured or depleted wide receiver corps. In 2021, his best season, Calvin Ridley stepped away after five games and Russell Gage didn't produce until after Thanksgiving, leaving Pitts to monopolize targets. In 2025, when Drake London missed the final seven games due to knee injury, Pitts averaged 2.28 yards per route run (exceeding Ja'Marr Chase's 2.23), but in the 10 games he played alongside a relatively healthy London, his yards per route run dropped to 1.36—marginally better than his 1.33 from 2024 and matching Noah Fant's 2025 production (who signed for $4.4M/year). The source contends Pitts needed to prove in 2026 he could produce at a high level while sharing the field with a healthy London before earning such a premium contract.
