Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. posted six receptions for 113 yards and nine targets in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: Pittman seemed to come alive when Anthony Richardson left the game due to injury, replaced by Joe Flacco. The veteran backup and wideout had a nice rapport for the entire game, leading to Pittman's best statistical performance of the season. In fact, he had 88 receiving yards across his first three games. If Flacco gets the start in Week 5, Pittman could move into the low-end WR2 fantasy territory against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. finished with four receptions for 36 yards on five targets in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: Pittman has consistently underachieved, going for four or fewer receptions with 36 or fewer receiving yards in all three of his games. He should only be treated as a WR4 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a difficult matchup.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back, calf) will play in Week 3's game versus the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: Pittman had been placed on the injury report with a questionable designation Friday, Sept. 20, after missing that day's practice session. He should be viewed as a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back, calf) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 20, and is listed as questionable for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Pittman was added to the injury report Friday, so he likely will be a game-time decision for the Week 3 game. He is a starting option in all leagues when healthy, but fantasy players will need other options ready in case he is ruled out.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back, calf) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 20, and is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Chicago Bears.

C Ryan Kelly (rest) and OT Braden Smith (knee) did not practice on Friday but no longer appear on the injury report.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back, calf) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 20.
Huddle Up: There does not seem to be any concern about Pittman playing in Week 3, at least not yet. The 26-year-old is seeing plenty of targets through two weeks (15), but most of his seven catches have been short and none of them as gone for a touchdown. As such, he is shaping up to be more of a low-upside WR3 who could be losing more value as soon as Josh Downs returns from his high-ankle sprain, which could be as soon as this week.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. caught three of his seven targets for 21 yards in a 16-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.
Huddle Up: Pittman has been targeted 15 times through two games, but those looks have yielded just seven receptions for 52 yards. Pittman has been the victim of Anthony Richardson's learning curve, and after being a reception machine the last three seasons, WR3 production may be the best-case scenario.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. registered four receptions for 31 yards on eight targets in Week 1 against the Houston Texans. While the yardage was mediocre, the catch total and targets were actually both team highs.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (knee) will not participate in any of the practices this week because of a knee injury. Head coach Shane Steichen said Pittman is being held out as a precaution.
Huddle Up: Pittman will receive some extra time to rest his knee and should be fine for the start of training camp. He will continue to be the focal point in the passing game for the Colts and should be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.
