On the positive side, his best situations are the ones he frequently encounters. He is better than most receivers from an outside WR alignment, against single coverage and against off-coverage. Unfortunately, the routes he runs most often are those he is relatively weakest at compared to other receivers.
Pittman should continue to play a very high percentage of snaps and generate a high target share. The biggest risk for Pittman is if Josh Downs takes a step forward and/or Adonai Mitchell has a breakout rookie year. If that happens, Pittman could see a decrease in targets.
Pittman has consistently ranked among the top 20 fantasy wide receivers, combining good, consistent play with excellent utilization. There is a strong chance he can maintain this level of success this season. However, there is also a possibility that younger receivers could take away some of his targets or that Richardson may scramble too often, reducing Pittman's opportunities.
