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

Adam Schefter

Oct 09 · 5:46 PM EDT

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.

Colts WR Josh Downs will be a game time decision for Week 2

Brett Bensley

Shane Steichen rules Julian Blackmon out versus Green Bay. Shane says he doesn't expect it to be a long term thing.

DeForest Buckner will be a game time decision - Shane optimistic he'll play. Adds Josh Downs will be a GTD also.

Matt Gay will kick.

Related Players: Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell

Fantasy Impact:

It's not a great matchup against a Packers team that looks to be starting Malik Willis, but Anthony Richardson once again proved that he's willing to throw bombs early and often. It'll be a coinflip as to whether Pierce or Mitchell is the one who will come down with a deep ball in Downs presumptive absence, but the correct guess could equate to a WR3 week. They are both extreme boom/bust options.

Colts WR Josh Downs suffers apparent ankle injury in camp

Colts WR Josh Downs, who’s had a great camp, was just tackled to the ground and came up with an apparent ankle injury. Had to helped off the field and did not put weight on the lower leg.

Related Players: Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell

Fantasy Impact:

The 3-wide set has been Pittman, Downs, and Pierce throughout camp, with Downs seemingly locked into the No. 2 role. If Downs ends up missing time, this will allow rookie Adonai Mitchell to see the field more often, regardless of his progression ahead of Year 1. This would be a huge boost to his fantasy stock considering he was trending towards a rotational role.

Adonai Mitchell battling Alec Pierce for Colts' WR3

James Boyd

Jul 25 · 11:18 AM EDT

The Colts’ most intriguing position battle throughout training camp will be at wide receiver, with Alec Pierce and rookie Adonai Mitchell battling to secure the third spot alongside Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs.

Fantasy Impact:

Boyd surmises that Pierce may have "plateaued", which gives us insight into why the Colts targeted Mitchell in the second round of the NFL Draft. Even if the rookie wins the job, Mitchell's place in redraft leagues is iffy at best. He currently ranks outside the top-80 in 4for4's rankings.
