Yahoo Sports NFL on Kyle Pitts
From the article
When London missed half the year, secondary options like Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud, and KhaDarel Hodge vanished as well. Pitts wasn't competing for targets in an elite passing attack, but rather monopolizing targets playing across practice-squad-level options like David Sills and Casey Washington.
STACKED’s take
Pitts' 2.28 yards per route run spike came only against practice-squad receivers when London was out.
When Drake London missed half of 2025, Pitts monopolized targets against practice-squad-level options like David Sills and Casey Washington, averaging 2.28 yards per route run per PFF (exceeding Ja'Marr Chase's 2.23). However, in the 10 games with a relatively healthy London, Pitts averaged 1.36 yards per route run, marginally better than his 1.33 from 2024 and matching Noah Fant's production. The source argues Pitts wasn't competing in an elite passing attack but rather benefiting from the absence of viable alternate pass-catching options, a pattern that repeated from his 2021 rookie season when Calvin Ridley stepped away and Russell Gage was the top wideout.
