Michael Pittman Jr. News
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is coming off another strong performance in Week 3, in which he caught nine passes for 77 yards. Pittman Jr. has been the No. 1 option in this Colts passing attack, receiving over ten targets a week in each of his first three games. The third-year-receiver will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, a secondary that has allowed an average of only 181 passing yards this season, good for seventh best in the league. Despite the tougher matchup, Pittman Jr.'s target share sets him up as a solid PPR WR2 option with a slightly lower ceiling than in previous weeks.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had another solid outing in the team's 22-19 overtime win against the Baltimore Ravens, hauling in nine catches for 77 yards. Pittman Jr. continues to be a favored target of both quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Anthony Richardson, receiving double-digit targets for the third week in a row with 11. The 25-year-old receiver provides an incredibly safe floor weekly in PPR formats with his target share and has WR1 upside if he can find the end zone in upcoming matchups. He'll face a Los Angeles Rams defense in Week 4 that has been surprisingly stingy to opposing wideouts, but he can confidently be included in lineups for that contest.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. looked fantastic during the Week 1 loss to Jacksonville. The wideout was targeted 11 times on the day, hauling in eight catches for 97 yards. He also scored, finding the end zone off a 39-yard pass from Anthony Richardson in the third quarter. Many were down on Pittman entering the season, especially with a rookie under center. While fantasy managers shouldn't routinely expect this type of production from the 25-year-old, he may be better than expected throughout the 2023-24 campaign.

Entering his fourth NFL season, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is coming off of a season where he underperformed expectations. He grabbed 99 receptions for 925 yards and four touchdowns, but his performance was more of a tale of poor quarterback play than anything else. This season, Pittman will have rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson throwing the ball to him and Gardner Minshew II in waiting should Richardson go down with an injury or perform poorly. Anybody is better...
