FantasyPros Articles on Michael Pittman
From the article
Pittman has 100+ targets in every season he has played since his rookie year. Aaron Rodgers has become increasingly downfield-throw averse over the last couple of seasons. This favors a short-area, possession-style receiver that Pittman can operate as.
STACKED’s take
Pittman's 100+ target history and Rodgers' short-area preference make him safe-floor value at $4,900.
Pittman at $4,900 on DraftKings enters his first season as a Steeler and sneaks in as a very under-the-radar receiving option in PPR formats. He joins a wide receiver room with DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson (averaging 1.6 receptions over his last five starts). Aaron Rodgers has become increasingly downfield-throw averse over recent seasons, favoring short-area, possession-style receivers that Pittman can operate as. Pittman has 100+ targets in every season since his rookie year. The Falcons allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to wide receivers last season. With Cooper Rush stepping in as starter in a last-minute change, Rodgers will lean more on Pittman than any other receiver to move the offense in a 41.5 over/under matchup, setting him up as a safe-floor pick with touchdown upside.
