Breakout fit with Rodgers; WR38 ADP undervalues him vs. Metcalf.
Pittman is a breakout candidate in the Steelers offense under Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers. The fit is strong because Rodgers had the quickest release in the league last season and prefers quick slants, hitches, and outs—Pittman's strength—over the deeper routes DK Metcalf ran in Seattle. McCarthy and Rodgers both favor goal-line passing inside the 5 and 10 yard lines; Pittman was not a prolific touchdown scorer in Indianapolis but played alongside Jonathan Taylor, one of the best goal-line backs, which may have suppressed his red-zone opportunities. The source expects Pittman to develop as a goal-line threat in this new scheme. Pittman is WR38 on FFPC, going late seventh/early eighth round, one pick after DK Metcalf; however, on Sleeper he's two to three full rounds behind Metcalf despite the source projecting him to outscore Metcalf. This represents an exploitable ADP discrepancy between sharp and casual formats. Pittman is ranked 15th in targets among wide receivers at Fantasy Points, providing solid volume. His upside hinges on touchdown production; by expected touchdowns last season he matched Alec Pierce at around seven, but a monster season with nine to ten touchdowns could elevate him from WR3 to high-end WR2 territory.
View Michael Pittman 2026 fantasy football value pagePlayer profile with fantasy value, ADP, projections, news, and source-backed STACKED insightsI got Michael Pitman heading heading over from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh. Uh, love the fit here for for this new Steelers offense under Mike McCarthy. Uh, Aaron Rogers wasn't an awesome fit with him and DK Metaf. He's more of a Metaf is more of a downfield threat and some of those deeper routes. I think Michael Pitman is probably going to fit Aaron Rogers at especially at this stage of his career. he wants to get back on, you know, a couple steps and throw it quickly on those slants and hitches and outs... looking at his ADP on on uh FFPC, he's wide receiver 38. He's going in like the late seventh, early eighth round... I prefer Michael Pitman straight up to DK Metaf and DK Metaf was going multiple rounds ahead of him... DK Metaf is going effectively two full rounds, three full rounds ahead of Michael Pitman... I think Pitman does outscore Metaf.
