News: 2 days agoPittman caught two of four targets for 15 yards Thursday in a loss to the Browns.

Spin: Pittman logged a 72 percent offensive snap share, second-most among Pittsburgh wideouts, but he didn't do much with the ample playing time. In fact, Roman Wilson -- who logged a 22 percent offensive snap share -- outproduced Pittman considerably with a 3-74-1 receiving line. In his first season with the Steelers, Pittman has had a tough time connecting with QB Aaron Rodgers, posting just seven catches on 12 targets for 89 yards through three games. He'll look to make more of an impact in Week 5 against Indianapolis next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Pittman was traded to the Steelers after spending his first six NFL seasons with the Colts. The 2020 second-round pick handled a hefty 23.6% of Indianapolis' targets during his tenure, which helped him to four top-20 fantasy campaigns. Pittman has reached 800 receiving yards in five consecutive seasons while primarily operating as a short-to-intermediate target. The role has limited his scoring (he has 25 TDs in 95 games) and that may not change much with DK Metcalf on the other side in Pittsburgh. Of course, Pittman will be a featured target in an offense led by Aaron Rodgers. That's enough to put the 28-year-old squarely in the weekly WR3 mix.
