Draft note
by John Paulsen
After 88-1082-6 in 2021 (WR21) and 99-925-4 in 2022 (WR23), Michael Pittman turned in 109-1152-4 (WR16) last season. He only played two full-ish games (95%+ snaps) with Anthony Richardson and posted 8-97-1 on 11 targets and 1-15 on five targets in those two contests. Richardson did target Pittman on 26.2% of his pass attempts, but he only averaged 6.46 yards per attempt on those targets. There’s no doubt that Pittman is talented, and Richardson was better than expected as a thrower, but his return adds an element of unpredictability when it comes to forecasting Pittman. In roughly 2.6 games of action, Richardson was on pace for about 222 yards and 1.15 touchdowns per game. On the flip side, Gardner Minshew averaged 229 yards and 1.08 touchdowns in his 13 full games as the starter, so maybe the difference isn’t so stark. (Minshew averaged 7.54 yards on 134 targets to Pittman, almost a full yard more than Richardson did.)

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Michael Pittman Jr. missed last week with a concussion, though he was a late-scratch, so there’s optimism for his status this week against the Raiders. If active, Pittman is a must-start in all leagues due to his heavy target share and consistent production throughout the season.

Make sure to have a backup option ready, but assuming he starts, he should definitely be active against a Raiders defense that ranks 19th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. While the Raiders have been surging lately, Pittman is leaned on heavily in this passing attack, making him a must-start as long as he’s healthy.
