Pittman's declining route rate and target share make him a drop in 10-team leagues.

There was significant conviction that Pittman would emerge as Aaron Rodgers' 2025 Kenny Gainwell in 2026, but that belief has been dispelled. Pittman ranks fourth on the team in target share and 91st overall at the position, having drawn 12 looks on 99 routes (12.1%), ranking outside of the top 75 players at the position. He has yet to post a top-40 fantasy positional finish. Rather than relying on Pittman, Rodgers has leaned on Jaylen Warren and the emerging Roman Wilson, whose target share has exceeded 15% in all four games this season. Even in a favorable matchup versus the Colts (12th-most fantasy points allowed to WRs), Pittman should be avoided; his sagging route rate (86%, 72%, 60%) makes him frankly a drop candidate in 10-team leagues.
