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.

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Atlanta Falcons

Michael Pittman Jr. caught four balls for 78 yards before getting knocked out of the game with a concussion. He’ll be in the protocol and is very questionable for Week 16 against the Falcons. 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, however, as he seems unlikely to go.

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Michael Pittman Jr. caught eight balls for 95 yards last week in a loss to the Bengals. He was targeted 11 times, his fourth straight game with double-digit targets, and ninth game of the year. Pittman has a nice rapport with quarterback Gardner Minshew and he looks like one of the safest fantasy options week-to-week given the target volume, especially in PPR formats.

This week, Pittman faces a Pittsburgh defense that ranks fifth in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Even with the tough matchup, he’s expected to once again lead the team in targets, giving him a high floor. He should be active in all fantasy leagues as a quality WR1 option, especially in PPR formats.

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cincinnati Bengals

Michael Pittman Jr. continued his run of good performances last week in an overtime victory over the Titans. He was targeted 16 times, catching 11 balls for 105 yards and his fourth touchdowns of the season. Pittman is racking up targets, with 127 on the year and double-digit targets in five of his last seven games.

This week, Pittman faces a Cincinnati defense that ranks 24th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. With a nice matchup and the expectation of heavy targets once again, we have Pittman ranked as a quality WR1 option this week. Start him in all league formats.

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Tennessee Titans

Michael Pittman Jr. caught 10 balls last week for 107 yards in a victory over the Buccaneers. Every time I looked up it felt like Pittman was getting targeted, and he now has double-digit targets in seven games this year - as well as four of the last six. Pittman is on pace for 1,212 receiving yards this season, which would be a career-high, as the Colts are still battling for a potential playoff spot.

This week, Pittman faces a Tennessee defense that ranks 23rd in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. It’s a great matchup for a surging player, so fantasy managers should consider him a viable WR1 option in all league formats. Start him.

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Michael Pittman Jr. caught eight of his 12 targets for 84 yards against the Patriots before the bye last week. Pittman isn’t putting up huge numbers, but he’s a steady producer who gets loads of targets. He’s averaging 9.8 targets per game this season and has double-digit targets in three of his last five outings.

This week, Pittman has an excellent matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that ranks 29th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. This is a great opportunity for the veteran out of USC to rack up another 10-plus targets and put up WR1 fantasy numbers. Expect a surprising amount of offense in this game, and Pittman should benefit. Start him.

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. New England Patriots (Germany)

Michael Pittman Jr. caught all eight of his targets last week against the Panthers and finished with 64 yards in a victory. Pittman has at least seven targets in all but two games this season, and has double-digit targets in five outings. His constant looks have catapulted him to become the WR12 in half-PPR formats this year.

This week, Pittman has a tough matchup against the Patriots. New England ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers, and have been especially stingy against opposing WR1 options. He should continue to get looks and Terry McLaurin and Tyreek Hill managed to puncture the New England WR1 armor the past two weeks, but temper expectations in a difficult matchup. We have him ranked as a fringe-WR1 option.
