Running Back Rank: #235
Overall: #970
Pittman actually got a chance to carry the bulk of the load at running back, but hurt his neck and landed in Injured Reserve about halfway through the season. He did have a 100-yard game and 20 carries in two straight games before getting hurt. Pittman probably isn't suited as an every-down pack anymore. He is a good pass-catcher, though, which gives him some added value as a running back. Before last season, Pittman had 25-plus receptions in eight straight seasons. He'll cause some noise in the passing game, but won't do much damage running the ball.

Pittman has some pluses in PPR leagues, but outside of those, his value is limited. He'll get a couple scores and around 500 yards of total offense. |
