Expert takes
“OCTOBER 10: Seeing as Pittman is expected to miss multiple weeks due to his foot injury, the Steelers have opted not to rush him back to the field. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Pittsburgh is placing the veteran receiver on injured reserve . Fowler reports the placement as a move to the “short-term IR,” indicating that the team is expecting to activate the 29-year-old as soon as he is eligible, following a four-game absence, or shortly after.”
Adam La Rose· Oct 10, 2026“Pittman has had a sleepy start to his Steelers career with a 10.7% target share, 1.19 YPRR, zero deep or red zone targets, and a 9.1% first-read share. This week, he faces a Cleveland pass defense that has the highest single-high rate (75.7%) in the NFL. Against single-high, Pittman has had only a 9% target-per-route-run rate and 1.14 YPRR.”
Derek Brown· Oct 1, 2026“Pittman has 100+ targets in every season he has played since his rookie year. The Falcons allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to wide receivers last season. While more susceptible to outside receivers, Rodgers may not have to push the ball as much in this contest, with Cooper Rush stepping in as the starter in a very last-minute change.”

“He had 106 targets as a rookie, Michael Pittman is gone, and IND spent the offseason signaling Warren as a centerpiece of the passing attack.”
Chris Cash· Sep 11, 2026“The Steelers traded for Michael Pittman Jr. and drafted Germie Bernard in the second round of this year's NFL Draft, and both players should mesh with this version of Rodgers. Among 93 wide receivers with at least 250 routes last season, Pittman ranked 78th in average depth of target (8.36).”
Josh Shepardson· Sep 10, 2026“He signed a massive contract extension in the offseason, and Michael Pittman is gone.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Sep 10, 2026“While he’s not the most exciting click on the board, Pittman has posted a top-20 wide receiver finish in PPR formats in four of the last five years. He’s also highly durable, missing only three games in those five years.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5, 2026“Pittman is your classic possession receiver, posting an average depth of target (aDOT) of 8.4 or lower in three of his last four seasons. This aligns perfectly with Rodgers’ late-career playstyle, finishing second-to-last in the NFL in aDOT in 2025 (with a minimum of 100 dropbacks).”
Jim Moorman· Aug 18, 2026“Regardless if you think Michael Pittman Jr. is good or not, he's one of five receivers with 110+ targets in each of the last five seasons. Andy, Mike, and Jason all have Michael Pittman leading the team in targets, but have DK Metcalf higher in their rankings, mainly due to touchdowns. In PPR leagues, Pittman may be a safer bet on a weekly basis.”
Colt Williams· Jul 8, 2026“Pittman was often outplayed by Alec Pierce and Tyler Warren throughout the season.”
Ryan Kirksey· May 26, 2026“Pittman could seriously struggle to score 10 points per game in a low-scoring, run-heavy offense.”
Ryan Kirksey· May 26, 2026“In Pittsburgh, Pittman is likely to find a less efficient passing attack after Daniel Jones' strong year in 2025, and he immediately walks in as the No. 2 behind DK Metcalf.”
Ryan Kirksey· May 26, 2026“Michael Pittman is a great fit for how Rodgers likes to play, and Jamel Dean could end up being one of the better values of free agency, though he tends to miss time every season.”
Raymond Summerlin· Mar 20, 2026
“They controlled the game throughout, running the ball well, converting short-yardage at will, and second-year QB Jaxson Dart made some big plays when he needed to. Perhaps more impressively, the Giants held up well against the Cowboys’ insane wide receiver duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens , holding them in check enough to stall Dallas’ offense. 24 — Carolina Panthers (0-1, —) Last week: L 37-59 vs.”
Ethan Woodie· Sep 15, 2026“From a numbers standpoint, Dart made up for his lack of down-to-down efficiency with aggressive downfield production. He had a 9.1 average depth of target and a 5.6-percent big-time throw rate, but he also took 42 sacks and averaged over three seconds per pass. In his sophomore campaign, Dart needs to merge his big-play ability with a slightly more reasoned approach — as much to protect himself as it is to keep his starting job.”
Ethan Woodie· Sep 11, 2026“Mike’s Starts of the Week Peter Casey-Imagn Images QB Jaxson Dart vs DAL Jaxson Start! Speaking of Giants vs Cowboys, Dart is Mike’s start of the week at QB.”

“Fantasy Football Fallers Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) Jaxson Dart has recently seen his ADP drop to pick 110.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 31, 2026“Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) In 2025, Jaxson Dart averaged 0.649 fantasy points per dropback, ranking QB3 behind only Josh Allen and Drake Maye . He did this while head coach Brian Daboll was being fired. His only pass-catching weapon was Wan’Dale Robinson after Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo suffered season-ending injuries.”
Joshua Poniatowski· Aug 29, 2026“This late in the draft, I need a quarterback, and here, Jaxson Dart is a dual-threat quarterback. If Malik Nabers is healthy and ready to go, this should make Dart that much more appealing as a passer.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 29, 2026“Dart is one of three QBs to rush for at least 50 yards in each of his first three starts.”
Colt Williams· Aug 26, 2026“Ward’s rough rookie year came in a barren offense, and Tennessee overhauled it, adding Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson and, crucially, quarterback whisperer Brian Daboll, whose track record with Josh Allen , Daniel Jones , and Jaxson Dart is exactly the profile you want betting on a second-year leap. Cheap, and trending up.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 25, 2026“Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) Dart is the headliner. The consensus ranks him as the QB12, but the projections peg him as a top-seven fantasy quarterback, with 310 projected points (18.3 per game).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 18, 2026“While fantasy players should draft him as a QB1, Dart is overvalued at his current ADP.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 14, 2026“Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) offers real rushing upside paired with rookie-year efficiency that was genuinely elite outside of one statistical outlier game.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10, 2026“Statistically, Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart had one of the better rookie seasons in recent memory. After taking over the starting job in late September, Dart threw for 2,200-plus yards and 15 touchdowns and ran for another 487 yards and nine touchdowns, the latter tied for second among quarterbacks in the entire league.”
Michael Moore· Aug 9, 2026“Dart did not need a perfect environment to create fantasy points because his legs consistently raised both his floor and ceiling.”
Javier Manzanera· Aug 6, 2026“But my issue here is that he plays so recklessly. Dart is one of the biggest injury risks you can find at the quarterback position.”
