From the episode

They went out and got Michael Pittman, you know, traded for him, paid him... Pittman should get a ton of targets... I have Michael Pittman leading in targets, because I think they might not be as valuable as deep down the field, but I think the possession type of receiver is something they really, really need.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Pittman positioned to lead Steelers targets under new OC Angelico.

The Steelers traded for and paid Michael Pittman, signaling a shift toward a more pass-heavy offense under new offensive coordinator Brian Angelico; Pittman should get a ton of targets given the vacated receiving production from Kenny Gainwell and Johnny Smith. The source projects Pittman to lead the Steelers in targets because Aaron Rodgers' tape shows he had to check everything down; clean pocket deep throws were very poor, so possession-type receivers are what the offense really needs.
