Pittman's ADP is outside the top-40 at his position despite the Steelers trading for and extending him. While Pittsburgh was 22nd in passing in 2025 and DK Metcalf remains in the Steel City, Aaron Rodgers at this point in his career is about getting rid of the ball quickly with shorter throws—more aligned with Pittman's skill-set than Metcalf's. Even in his 'down' 2025 year, Pittman was a top-25 PPR receiver who scored more fantasy points than Metcalf. The source states 'Remember who told you when it happens again.'PositiveValueJul 3, 2026
Pittman is coming off the board outside the Top 40 at the position in the eighth or ninth round of 12-team drafts, representing compelling mid-draft value. The source argues the disrespect has gone too far given his role in the new Steelers offense. He is positioned as Aaron Rodgers' most dependable, chain-moving target in Pittsburgh, with the organization signaling commitment by trading for him and signing him to a two-year, $35 million extension with $24 million guaranteed. Pittman has been a reliable fantasy WR3 throughout his career and is projected to maintain that floor given his role as Rodgers' primary target and the offensive system optimization under Mike McCarthy, whose teams rank 12th in pass attempts on average—signaling increased volume for Steelers receivers.
