Dave Klug identifies Michael Pittman Jr. as the best bet to lead the Steelers in targets and catches at a very cheap price tag. Pittman is described as a gritty contested-ball catcher who works across the middle, earns opportunities through blocking, and is a better fit for the Steelers offense than DK Metcalf. Historical production: 156 targets in 2023, 141 targets in 2022; averaged 11.9 PPG last year and has been WR26+ in PPG in four of the last five years despite a disappointing 2024 season. At 28 years old, Klug believes he still has gas in the tank as a proven target earner when the offense wants to use him heavily.

Michael Pitman is such a better fit in this offense...I think Michael Pitman is the best bet to lead the team in targets and catches and I'm able to get him at a very cheap price tag. Again, even last year that he averaged 11.9 points per game. That's four out of the last five years he's been at least wide receiver 26 in points per game. Had that really disappointing 2024 season. But go back to like 2023, 156 targets. 2022 141 targets.
