Michael Pittman Jr. News
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught all six of his targets for 47 yards during a 23-20 Week 17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The second-year wideout has established himself as the Colts' clear-cut WR1 but the offense remains run-centric with star running back Jonathan Taylor earning at least 20 carries per game. He has not caught a touchdown since Week 9 but he will be in a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars secondary in Week 18. They are the seventh-best matchup in PPR formats for wide receivers, making Pittman a WR2 in a must-win game for the Colts on the road next week.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught eight of 12 targets for 82 yards during a 22-16 Week 16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The second-year wideout drew a massive 42.9 percent target share on Saturday night and proved to be reliable for Carson Wentz in clutch moments, setting the Colts up in goal-to-go situations. While Pittman has not found the end zone since Week 9 against the New York Jets, he should remain a strong WR2 against the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 17. After all, he has at least 53 receiving yards in three of his last four games played.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught one pass for seven yards during a 27-17 Week 15 win over the New England Patriots. The Patriots' defense virtually shut down the second-year wideout before receiving an ejection due to his fight with Patriots safety Kyle Dugger. Pittman saw five of Carson Wentz's 12 pass attempts, which indicates that he is the preferred target within the offense. However, Wentz has under 25 pass attempts in three of his last four games, which lowers Pittman's ceiling to a low-end WR3. He will have another tough matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16.
