From the episode

Pittman has missed so much time with his injury and that he's kind of behind the eight ball. I think that Metcalf is going to probably open the year as the more productive wide receiver.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Pittman's injury concerns drop him behind Metcalf.

Andrew Erickson is shifting DK Metcalf ahead of Michael Pittman Jr. because Pittman has missed significant time with an injury and is 'behind the eight ball' heading into the season.
