Fantasy Life Articles on Michael Pittman
From the article
Pittsburgh traded for Pittman this offseason and I immediately believe he steps in and leads this team in receiving. As his career has progressed, Rodgers has become a lot more reliant on quick-hitting slant routes and timing concepts. Over the last two seasons, no quarterback has targeted slant routes more than Rodgers (96).
STACKED’s take
Pittman's slant-route fit with Rodgers makes him undervalued vs. Metcalf.
Pfeifer believes DK Metcalf continues to come off draft boards earlier than Pittman, which doesn't feel right to him. Pittsburgh traded for Pittman this offseason and Pfeifer immediately believes he steps in and leads the team in receiving. While Pittman may not have the overall talent and upside of Metcalf, he meshes with Aaron Rodgers much better. Over the last two seasons, no quarterback has targeted slant routes more than Rodgers (96 targets). Pittman was often used on such concepts, especially on RPO plays, during his time in Indianapolis, with 15 targets off slant routes last season (8th-most in football). The way Pittman wins correlates with where Rodgers wants to go with the football, making him Pfeifer's highest-ranked Steelers wide receiver.
