Latest takes
“Pittsburgh also traded for Michael Pittman and spent a second-round pick on Germie Bernard to give their receiving room a makeover.”
Josh Shepardson· Jul 1“Michael Pittman Jr. has long been the ultimate right-wing wide receiver. However, in his new home I think things have shifted. He finds himself as the ostensible WR2 next to DK Metcalf and every virgin with a spreadsheet will be happy to tell you that ACKSHUALLY their targets per route run rates are more similar than is implied by the ADP gap between them.”
Jakob Sanderson· Jun 24“This gap is emphasized by the fact that — opposite to running backs — the vast majority of wideouts are cheaper on ESPN. Adams' ESPN ADP being 12% above his ECR sticks out like a sore thumb among wideouts. Only two other top-100 wideouts (Carnell Tate and Michael Pittman Jr.) have ADPs above their ECRs at all.”

“Pittman was often outplayed by Alec Pierce and Tyler Warren throughout the season.”
Ryan Kirksey· May 26“Last season, Michael Pittman Jr. finished with 9.6 half-PPR points per game, which only earned him the rank of WR34 on the season.”
Ryan Kirksey· May 26“Pittman could seriously struggle to score 10 points per game in a low-scoring, run-heavy offense.”
Ryan Kirksey· May 26“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“The Steelers drew one of the hardest schedules against opposing pass defenses. Now, fantasy managers are trying to project target distribution between offseason addition Michael Pittman, DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth, and the rest of the offense without any guarantee that the quarterback play will even be efficient enough to support multiple fantasy-relevant pass catchers.”
Jon Machado· May 16“Now, the veteran cornerback follows longtime Colts Braden Smith, Zaire Franklin and Michael Pittman Jr. out the door this offseason.”
Sam Robinson· May 8“Bernard is talented, though, and will be a solid third option behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr, but it's still a drop off from what the team could have had in Lemon.”
Ryan McCrystal· Apr 26“The Steelers already made a big addition to their receiver room this offseason by trading for Michael Pittman, but receiver still looked like a need even with DK Metcalf and Pittman on board.”
Sharp Football Staff· Apr 25“They traded for the Colts WR, Michael Pittman Jr., and signed him to a 3-year deal.”
Andrew Erickson· Mar 22“The Steelers made big moves on the offensive side by signing RB Rico Dowdle and trading for WR Michael Pittman. They got him two weapons — a 1,000-yard rusher, and a No. 1 receiver who can be their No. 2 guy.”
Wyatt Grindley· Mar 21“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
“The bruiser in Ben Johnson's offense, Kyle Monangai, was a winner after Chicago didn't address the running back position in free agency or the draft. Monangai should continue to be the thunder to D'Andre Swift's lightning.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 27“Kyle Monangai is one of the more interesting mid-round running back bets discussed on the show, with the appeal coming from role expansion. The analysts highlighted both the quality of the running game design and the possibility that Monangai eventually claims the most valuable rushing opportunities.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jun 24“RB Kyle Monangai is impressing in seven-on-seven drills with his run-after-catch ability, with Kalif Raymond noting that even in limited-contact situations, he's putting on moves.”
Logan Ulrich· Jun 21

“D'Andre Swift was widely considered to be a player Ben Johnson wouldn't want heading up his backfield a year ago, but ended up being a good value bet with a 57.8% snap share compared to Kyle Monangai's 41.3%. Swift was ultimately by far the better option, with a higher explosive run rate (5.4% vs. 4.1%), a better missed-tackle forced rate (0.17 vs. 0.10) and more yards before contact.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 16“Kyle Monangai (RB30) had a solid season but was far from consistent every week.”
Mike Fanelli· Jun 5“Kyle Monangai was framed as a deeper sleeper running back worth keeping on watch lists. The analysis focused less on immediate production and more on the possibility that his style earns trust over time.”
