    Pittman Jr. has had significantly better production this season against single-high coverages compared to two-high (14th biggest grade difference). The Broncos are one of the most frequent single-high defenses in the NFL, ranking 8th in MOFC played.

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.
