Michael Pittman Jr. News
Tuesday, March 10, 7:19 AM
The Athletic's Mike DeFabo believes that newly acquired wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., a player with good size (6-foot-4, 223 pounds), physicality, and pedigree, will be a good fit with the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Steelers re-sign quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the 42-year-old future Hall of Famer "seems to prefer veterans who understand the nuances of route running, how to read coverages and what it takes to prepare for an opponent." Pittman, who should slot in as the No. 2 behind DK Metcalf, "checks a lot of those boxes." The 28-year-old will receive a new three-year, $59 million contract with the Steelers after being acquired from the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. Pittman did lead the Colts with 80 catches last year and had a career-best seven touchdowns, but his yardage total (784) was down for a second straight season. His 2026 fantasy value hinges on whether Rodgers returns for another season in Pittsburgh.

Marvin Mims Jr. News
Saturday, March 7, 6:22 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. improved as a pass-catcher in his second NFL season in 2024, when he caught 39 of his 52 targets for 503 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. But the 23-year-old former second-rounder out of Oklahoma regressed in Year 3 in 2025, finishing with 37 catches on 51 targets for a career-low 322 yards and just one touchdown in 15 regular-season games. Mims did pace the Broncos' pass-catchers in their AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots, but more often than not last year, he was the odd-man out in the passing attack behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and rookie Pat Bryant. Even tight end Evan Engram finished with more yardage than Mims in 2025. Mims has big-play abilities and is a two-time Pro Bowler on special teams, but on offense, he's likely to be inconsistent again in 2026 with limited playing time.
