“Pittman to Pittsburgh's WR room at 113 — practicing again and on track for Week 1, which is more than I can say for some flags on the board.”
Took Michael Pittman at 113 for WR4. Meyers was snapped up at 112, leaving Pittman vs. Shakir as the call. I checked both injury flags before deciding: Pittman's hamstring kept him out of the preseason but he practiced Monday (Sept 7) and both the Steelers' GM and Rodgers reporting have him on track for Week 1; Shakir has been completely out of practice since Aug 20 with an undisclosed issue and the Bills' beat reporting calls it increasingly concerning with the opener against Houston a week away. Health risk clearly favors Pittman, and his bye (9) fits my bye map — week 10 was the week I needed coverage for (Saquon/Smith/Egbuka all out), and Pittman plus Addison plus Aaron Jones all play that week now. Rejected: Shakir (injury cloud, similar projection), Johnston (lower projection, bye 7 collides with Lawrence/Tuten), Makai Lemon (bye 10, same week as my three starters). Residual uncertainty: Pittman's hamstring could linger or he could reaggravate, and Rodgers-to-Pittman in a new offense is unproven, so I'm not at full confidence. Remaining needs: K at 128, DEF at 133, depth RB at 148.
Round 12, pick 113. Need WR4 priority. Meyers gone (Qwen took him at 112). Pittman available, Shakir available, Johnston available. My notes priority: Pittman (leg flag), Shakir (flag), Johnston. Also Worthy, Doubs available. Pittman has bye 9 — good. Leg flag worth a quick news check? Could just draft. Let me do a quick news check on Pittman's leg flag and maybe Shakir, then pick.
Two of my four WR4 targets survived to me — Pittman and Shakir. Let me check what's behind those injury flags before committing.
Pittman: hamstring, practiced Monday, on track to play Week 1, GM says fine. Shakir: out multiple weeks, still not practicing, "concerning with each day." Clear: Pittman. Also bye 9 is good. Pick Pittman 6819.
The news breaks the tie clearly: Pittman practiced Monday and the Steelers' GM says he's fine for Week 1, while Shakir has been out of practice since Aug. 20 with an undisclosed issue and reports call it "concerning." Pittman is the pick — cleaner health, bye 9 (a week I'm clean), and a bigger target share with Rodgers in Pittsburgh.
Update notes for next picks: 128 (K), 133 (DEF), 148 (depth). Then finish turn.
Pittman is on the roster. Updating my notes for the last three picks.

Roster (11/15): Lamar Jackson (QB, 4881, bye 13), Trevor Lawrence (QB, 7523, bye 7), Jonathan Taylor (RB, 6813, bye 13), Saquon Barkley (RB, 4866, bye 10), Bhayshul Tuten (RB, 12490, bye 7, illness flag), Aaron Jones (RB, 4199, bye 6 — co-starter w/ Mason, passing-down back, NEW), DeVonta Smith (WR, 7525, bye 10), Emeka Egbuka (WR, 12514, bye 10, undisclosed flag), Jordan Addison (WR, 9756, bye 6), Kyle Pitts (TE, 7553, bye 11), Jake Ferguson (TE, 8110, bye 14). NEEDS (4 picks left): WR4 (priority at 113), K, DEF, +1 depth. Aubrey/Mason/Corum all gone. At 113 WR targets (priority order): Pittman 6819 (PIT 9, 171, leg flag), Shakir 8134 (BUF 7, 171, flag), Meyers 5947 (JAX 7, 169, hand flag), Johnston 9754 (LAC 7, 164). AVOID bye-10 WRs (Makai Lemon, Monangai) — already have 3 starters out wk10. RB leftovers if BPA calls: Brooks 11583 (AVOID per news: Hubbard starts, splits w/ AJ Dillon, back-to-back ACLs, soreness, missed practice), White 8136 (WAS 7, 128), C-Rod 10219 (JAX 7, 133 — Tuten cuff), Spears 9508 (TEN 9, 115). K (pick ~128): Fairbairn 3451 (HOU 8, 113) or Cam Little 11792 (JAX 7, 112) or Myers 2747 (SEA 11, 111). Aubrey gone. DEF (~133): HOU 7.1wk/104 (bye 8), MIN 92 (bye 6), DEN 96 (bye 10 bad), PHI 98 (bye 10 bad), BAL 95 (bye 13 bad), NE 92 (bye 11). Prefer HOU; MIN backup plan. 148: best available depth (WR/RB/TE), avoid bye 10/13. Bye map: wk6 Addison+Jones; wk7 Lawrence+Tuten; wk10 Saquon/Smith/Egbuka (need WR4 + flex that wk — Jones plays wk10, good); wk11 Pitts; wk13 Lamar+Taylor. Best remaining add byes: 5,8,9,14. wk1 lineup (set Wed): Lamar, Taylor, Saquon, Smith, Egbuka (VERIFY undisclosed flag; fallback Addison), Pitts, flex Tuten (VERIFY illness; fallback Jones/next best). No K/DEF yet — must draft by 128/133. Draft intel: DeepSeek took Mason at 100 + Golden; Grok took Corum 107; GPT-6 took Diggs 98 + Purdy 103; Muse took Harvey 99 + Coker 102; Mistral has SEA DEF + Aubrey; Gemini took Godwin 95 + LAR DEF; Claude took Herbert 97 + Croskey-Merritt 104. Qwen (109,112) & Kimi (110,111) both RB-needy — expect RB run before my 113, which is why I took Jones at 108.
