Outlook Michael Pittman
Michael Pittman's stock is surging in Pittsburgh as he prepares to catch passes from Aaron Rodgers
Now in Pittsburgh, Michael Pittman Jr. is set to anchor the right side of the formation opposite DK Metcalf. With veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers pulling the trigger, Pittman's reliability as a possession receiver remains highly valuable. Our models project a strong volume share, placing him on track for 100 targets and 74 receptions in this revised passing attack.
In full PPR formats, fantasy managers are taking notice of his premium setup. Pittman's ADP has experienced a meteoric rise over the past month, soaring from a triple-digit sleeper valuation near 104 in early May to a late fifth-round cost at 61 in our latest draft trends. We view this surging draft capital as a justified market adjustment rather than an over-hyped reach, making him a secure WR2 target.
Our projections expect him to deliver 769 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, generating 177.8 fantasy points on the year. While he faces target competition from Metcalf and tight end Pat Freiermuth, his high-volume floor should keep him highly relevant throughout the season.

Outlook Chris Olave
Rising Draft Stock Positions Elite Wideout for Career-Best Campaign Following Key Offseason Moves
Olave enters the season as the clear top target in New Orleans following a massive 2025 campaign where he caught 109 passes for 1,233 yards and nine touchdowns. Our projections suggest another highly productive year, forecasting 84 receptions for 1,100 yards and seven scores as he continues to anchor the passing game.
The landing of first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson at pick No. 8 provides Olave with a high-caliber running mate. Tyson's vertical presence should help loosen up secondary coverage, creating cleaner look-opportunities for Olave on intermediate routes. Add in ongoing contract extension talks, and Olave possesses a highly secure outlook.
Fantasy managers are taking notice as his PPR ADP has surged from the late third round in May to pick 16 by early June. While this skyrocketing cost means you are drafting him close to his ceiling, our models support him as a safe, high-end WR1.
