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.

Travis Hunter "Very Well Ahead" of Schedule in Rehab From Knee Surgery

Monday, March 30, 6:58 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter (knee) is "very well ahead" of schedule in his rehab from right-knee surgery on Nov. 11 of his rookie season, according to Ryan O'Halloran of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union. Hunter injured the LCL in his knee during practice on Oct. 30 and never played again in 2025. Coen "cannot say for certain" if Hunter will be cleared to take part in organized team activities or for mandatory minicamp in May to June. The 22-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner at Colorado was just starting to see a bigger role on offense last year before injuring his knee, and he finished with 28 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown in seven games played. The Jaguars have said they plan on Hunter having a much bigger role as a defensive back in 2026, which is bad news for the former second overall pick's stock in dynasty/keeper leagues. The Jaguars are pretty set at wideout already with Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington, so it will be a tough battle for snaps and targets in Jacksonville's offense moving forward for Hunter.
