PIT · WR · Age 28
Michael Pittman Jr.'s recent target share of 13.9% in his last four games with IND underscores his potential to maintain a high-volume role on PIT.
Our own read · beta — not a trade price.
Practice status has trended worse (limited to DNP) with the foot issue, creating real Week 2 availability doubt; Freiermuth is positioned to absorb passing-game work if Pittman sits.
Target share has fallen from a featured 24% role in 2025 to roughly 7-8% in his Steelers debut, and outside analysis caps his realistic ceiling in this offense near 24% even in a best case as the clear No. 2 behind Metcalf.
Beat reporting has him locked in as the outside WR2 opposite Metcalf with Bernard and Wetjen ticketed for depth roles rather than real snap threats, and a new coaching staff is expected to push offensive play volume up for both top wideouts.
Pittsburgh signed him to a two-year deal as part of the trade, signaling the front office views him as a featured piece for at least the next two seasons rather than a stopgap.
