Michael Pittman Jr. a Buy-Low Candidate Following Post-Trade Dip

Monday, March 30, 5:49 AM

Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. finished the 2025 season valued as a low-end WR3 in consensus dynasty rankings, but since the offseason trade that moved him from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh, he has fallen to the low WR4 range. Pittman will be viewed by most as the clear second option behind D.K. Metcalf in a Steelers offense whose current quarterback situation would have to be graded as incomplete, so the dip is understandable, but he will still play the entirety of the 2026 season before turning 30, and he has finished as the WR23 or better in four of the past five seasons. He has become a go-to option for a revolving door of Colts quarterbacks by being a big-bodied target who runs precise routes and is rarely out of place against zone coverage. Whether his next signal caller is an unproven first-round rookie or a surly veteran who expects things to be done in a very particular way, nothing about Pittman's game suggests he will not continue to be a reliable target-earner.

Garrett Wilson News

Will Garrett Wilson Have a More Stable Environment Around Him in New York Going Forward?

Wednesday, April 1, 7:19 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) battled through a lost season in 2025, as he was limited to just seven games played due to a knee injury. When healthy, Wilson was still productive, recording 36 catches for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets. The 25-year-old is also expected to make a full recovery and should be healthy and ready to go for the 2026 season. Talent has never been the issue for Wilson, but the offensive environment around him in New York has been questionable for his entire career and profiles similarly in 2026. The Jets acquired veteran quarterback Geno Smith over the offseason, and while Smith is coming off a down year with the Las Vegas Raiders, he's still a savvy veteran who could stabilize the team's passing game. Wilson also remains the only highly established pass catcher in New York, and should be consistently force-fed targets. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should hold Wilson in the hopes that he re-establishes high-end value in 2026.
