Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back) was spotted at practice "in some capacity" on Friday, Oct. 11, according to The Athletic's James Boyd.
Huddle Up: Boyd provided video of Pittman making two deep catches during practice, which is quite the turnaround for a player who is less than one week removed from suffering a back injury that was supposedly bad enough that an IR stint was being considered. We shall see in a few hours if the Colts will leave the door open for him to play in Week 6, but fantasy managers should still not expect him to play versus the Tennessee Titans until they receive something more concrete. Assuming Pittman is sidelined, Josh Downs (toe) should expect to keep quite busy if he plays. If both Pittman and Downs cannot go, Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce should be expected to start.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back) did not practice once again on Thursday, Oct. 10.
Huddle Up: Pittman is expected to miss multiple weeks with a back issue. That paves the way for Josh Downs to be an every-week WR2 as long as he's healthy, and Alec Pierce enters the flex conversation.

Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (toe), CB Kenny Moore II (hip, shoulder), WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 10. Also, DE Kwity Paye (quadriceps) was limited and C Ryan Kelly (neck), QB Anthony Richardson (oblique), RB Trey Sermon (collarbone) and OT Braden Smith (knee, ankle) practiced in full.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is expected to miss several weeks because of back injury and could be a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation because Pittman would be sidelined for at least four weeks if he were placed on the IR. Josh Downs, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell will be the main receivers while Pittman is sidelined. Downs should be a starting option in fantasy leagues, while Pierce and Mitchell could be possible flex options.

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Huddle Up: It is not known if Pittman is in any danger of missing the Week 6 game, so fantasy players should monitor the situation over the next few days. He picked up his first touchdown of the season last week and should be a starting option in all leagues if he is cleared to play

Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. caught five passes for 37 yards and one touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. He was targeted eight times during the game.
Huddle Up: Pittman has been held to under 40 yards in four of the last five games this season but is still receive a good amount of targets each game. He should have more success later in the season and can still be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

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.
