Bleacher Report Ranks Steelers' Metcalf–Pittman Duo No. 9 After Pittman’s $59M Arrival

Aaron Rodgers' pending decision leaves the ceiling of Pittsburgh's revamped passing game uncertain.

Overview

  • Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton placed DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. at No. 9 among NFL wide receiver tandems.
  • Pittsburgh acquired Pittman from the Colts and signed him to a three-year, $59 million contract.
  • The tandem presents two big outside targets at 6-foot-3 or taller and over 220 pounds with complementary skill sets.
  • Metcalf led the Steelers with 850 receiving yards in 2025, while Pittman set a career high with seven touchdown catches and has topped 110 targets in five straight seasons.
  • The offense’s upside depends on the 2026 quarterback decision, with Aaron Rodgers still uncommitted and Will Howard or Mason Rudolph as in-house options.
