Plummeting Draft Cost Unlocks Major Value in Pittsburgh's Retooled Passing Attack
Now suiting up for the Steelers, Michael Pittman steps in as a starting perimeter receiver opposite DK Metcalf, catching passes from Aaron Rodgers. While Metcalf commands downfield attention, Pittman brings proven intermediate volume to move the chains.
Draft sentiment has cooled noticeably over the summer. After hovering near pick 94 throughout July and August, his ADP slipped into the 130s following camp leg injuries. However, that drop creates a significant buying window in PPR formats. We project Pittman for 81 receptions, 800 yards, and six touchdowns, easily outpacing his depressed draft price.
Early hesitation surrounding his questionable hamstring tag explains his modest 24% start rate. Still, his 96% roster mark proves fantasy managers know his worth. Once healthy, he offers dependable WR3 production with steady target volume.

Outlook Mike Washington
Explosive Rookie Emerges as Las Vegas' Premier High-Upside Stash
Mike Washington Jr. turned heads this preseason, displaying elite burst and forcing his way into the Raiders' offensive plans. Operating as the primary backup behind rookie starter Ashton Jeanty, Washington has the firm backing of offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who championed him as a seamless scheme fit.
Fantasy drafters took note of his electric August. After floating near pick 210 earlier in drafts, his 1.0 PPR draft cost surged towards pick 190, while his roster rate spiked to 65%. Fantasy managers recognize him as a high-upside stash rather than a falling knife, aggressively securing him late.
Our projections peg Washington for 110 carries, 425 rushing yards, and four total touchdowns, totaling 78 fantasy points. While Jeanty anchors the workload, Washington’s big-play ability and direct path to touches make him a priority late-round target with immense contingent upside.
