Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. expected to miss "multiple weeks"

Oct 09, 2024

Colts WR Michael Pittman is dealing with a back injury that is now expected to sideline him multiple weeks, per sources. Injured reserve is an option.

Related Players: Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell

Fantasy Impact:

This should push Downs into WR2 consideration, regardless of whether or not Anthony Richardson returns in Week 6. Pierce, and now, Mitchell become more interesting as respective WR3/Desperation Flex options.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play this week vs. Steelers, per sources.

Related Players: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Brock Bowers

Fantasy Impact:

No surprise here, but at least we get the news early in the week. Meyers and Bowers look to benefit the most from Adams' absence (and eventual trade) and should be considered respective WR2 and TE1s.

Texans WR Nico Collins to hit the IR

The Texans have placed WR Nico Collins, the NFL's leading receiver on Injured Reserve. He's out four games.

Related Players: Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Dalton Schultz

Fantasy Impact:

Hutchinson came in and basically played Collins' role for the rest of Week 5, but he is obviously not going to demand the same type of target share. He can be added in deeper leagues, but we expect Diggs, Dell, and Schultz to take a majority of the extra usage.
