1. Michael Pittman (IND), ADP 129.4, WR51

Pittman still commanded a 22.6% target share (27th) last year despite playing through a back injury and catching passes from one of the league’s least efficient QB rooms. But Anthony Richardson’s run-heavy style could cap passing volume. Even so, Pittman’s been the WR1 in this offense, with six games of 12.5+ PPR points last year. Five of those came with competent QB play. His separation and route win rate dipped in 2024 because of the injury, but in 2023 those metrics ranked top-third of the league.

So at WR51 cost, you’re paying for a flex but still getting a clear alpha who can deliver WR2 weeks if QB play stabilizes, and that’s an easy late-round bet.
