Outlook Michael Pittman

Stepping Into a Star-Studded Pittsburgh Offense, Michael Pittman Offers Incredible Value at His Current ADP

Michael Pittman enters the 2026 season in a fascinating new environment, joining a revamped Pittsburgh offense. Listed as the starting right wide receiver, Pittman will share the field with fellow standout DK Metcalf, catching passes from legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This shift provides him with arguably the most efficient quarterback play of his career.

Our projections expect a highly productive year, forecasting Pittman to secure 79 receptions for 784 yards and five touchdowns on 100 targets. While he may no longer be the sole focus of the passing game, his exceptional route running and reliable hands should help him thrive as a trusted intermediate weapon.

Draft markets are taking notice of his potential in this offense. Pittman’s ADP has steadily climbed from 104 in early May to 97 in 1.0 PPR leagues. Our models suggest his rising price tag remains an absolute steal, making him a priority target as a high-floor WR3.

Outlook Jerry Jeudy

Rebounding from a Quiet Year as the Browns' Designated Lead Receiver

Jerry Jeudy enters the season positioned as the leading outside receiver for Cleveland. Despite the Browns adding younger targets like Denzel Boston, general manager Andrew Berry recently referred to Jeudy as the team's "bell cow" receiver. Our models expect him to lead the wideout group, aiming to rebound from a quiet 2025 campaign where he registered 51 receptions and 641 yards.

Analyzing historical ADP trends, Jeudy's draft stock has steadily drifted backward from 169 in early May to a current cost of 174. At this late-round price in 1.0 PPR formats, fantasy managers are hesitant, resulting in a modest 59% rostership rate. This falling cost presents a clear value opportunity relative to our projections of 46 receptions for 624 yards.

While he might not repeat his career-high 1,229-yard output from 2024, his secure starting job in Deshaun Watson's offense keeps him relevant. He represents a low-risk bench target who can easily outpace his draft-day price.
