Outlook Michael Pittman
New Surroundings and Heavy Target Competition Create a Fascinating Draft-Day Value
Michael Pittman transitions to a new-look offense in Pittsburgh, where he is slated to start on the outside opposite playmaker DK Metcalf. Catching passes from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Pittman should settle in as a reliable possession receiver. While he may not match his career-high 156 targets from his Indianapolis days, our models project a healthy 100 targets, translating to 75 receptions for 770 yards and five touchdowns.
This adjustment in expected volume is reflected in his changing market value. Pittman's PPR ADP has stabilized around the late eighth round at pick 98 after some brief early-June volatility. At this price point, our projections view him as an outstanding draft-day steal rather than a reach, offering an incredibly safe weekly floor for fantasy managers looking to anchor their receiver depth.
With over 92% roster ownership, the fantasy community recognizes his high floor, even if his starting percentage hovers lower during the offseason. In an offense featuring Metcalf and tight end Pat Freiermuth, Pittman should find plenty of soft spots in coverage. He remains a reliable WR3 or Flex option with room to outperform his current draft billing.

Outlook Stefon Diggs
Unsigned Veteran Stefon Diggs Offers Intriguing Late-Round Upside After Legal Clearance
Following his acquittal in May 2026 on assault charges, veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs remains a high-profile free agent. While New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel recently dampened rumors of a reunion, interest from other clubs like the Commanders and Chiefs lingers. Currently unattached, Diggs's fantasy market value hinges entirely on his next landing spot.
At 32 years old, Diggs is no longer the elite tier-one option he was in Buffalo, but he proved he still has gas in the tank last year with New England. In 18 games, he compiled 87 receptions for 1,033 yards and four touchdowns on 105 targets. His efficiency has dipped from his peak, but he remains a reliable chain-mover.
His current ownership sits near 94%, showing fantasy managers are stashing him in hopes of a favorable landing spot. Without a team, he is a risky pick, but our models suggest his ceiling remains high if he joins a potent offense. He is best viewed as a high-upside bench stash who could quickly return WR3 value once signed.
