Pittman drafted as WR41 but projects to WR26; reliable Rodgers target.
Pittman was acquired by the Steelers from the Colts and is positioned as the No. 2 wide receiver. He posted a pair of 1,000-yard seasons over his six years with Indianapolis and is one of ten receivers to record at least 60 receptions in each of the past five seasons, with 357 receptions over the last four seasons ranking sixth in the NFL. Last year he had 80 catches for 784 yards and seven touchdowns (WR26 numbers in PPR). The Steelers' wideouts were among the league's least productive units in 2025 (136 receptions ranking 31st, 1,716 receiving yards 29th, 76 first downs 30th). Footballguy Jason Wood argues that Pittman is likely to be a reliable fantasy WR3 as Aaron Rodgers' most dependable, chain-moving target in Pittsburgh. Pittman has finished no worse than a fantasy WR3 in his five NFL seasons and is being drafted as WR41, well behind his Footballguys projection of a WR26 finish.
