STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Pittman's 11.1% target share is half his historical rate; bench him for now.

Pittman has scored a total of 15.9 fantasy points in three games with the Steelers this season, down significantly from hitting that mark in six individual games with the Colts last season. Despite being on the field plenty with a 78% snap share and 72% route participation, he simply hasn't been on Aaron Rodgers' radar very often. Pittman's 11.1% target share is less than half of his 25.3% rate during the past five seasons; he's also yet to clear five targets in any game and has a total of just 31 yards on nine targets since returning from injury in Week 3. He belongs on benches or, in shallower leagues, left on the waiver wire.
