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

Week 16 vs. Tennessee Titans

Michael Pittman reached 50 receiving yards for just the fourth time this season as he tied his season-highs in targets (9) and catches (6) last week against the Broncos. Still, the Colts have been quiet overall in the passing game. Pittman only has two touchdowns this season. One of them did come against the Titans in Week 6, so he'll go for a sweep Sunday. But given the Colts' ability to keep the ball on the ground, Pittman's ceiling is capped to being a low-end flex. And given the Titans rank 3rd against the pass, the Colts may want to focus more on the ground game.

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

Week 15 at Denver Broncos

It's been a disappointing season for Michael Pittman as the passing offense just wasn't what the Colts hoped it would be. As a result, Pittman has just two receiving touchdowns this season and has topped 50 yards just three times. It doesn't get much easier this week against the Broncos and their stingy secondary. Even if Josh Downs is limited Sunday, the offense as a whole is limited, capping the ceiling for Pittman and making him a risky play for the playoffs.

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

Week 13 at New England Patriots

With Josh Downs leaving last week's game early, Michael Pittman took advantage on the stat sheet, catching six passes for 96 yards. And that was with quarterback Anthony Richardson completing just 11 passes. Pittman is back, at least for now, as the WR1 for Richardson heading into a very nice matchup against the Patriots. The volume will continue to be there for Pittman -- 15 targets in the last two weeks.

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

Week 12 vs. Detroit Lions

Michael Pittman caught five passes for 46 yards. He had a combined two catches for 30 yards in his two previous games. His eight targets were the most he saw in a game since Week 5. Is this a sign he's moving back in the right direction? He does have a chance to keep his new stretch going against a Lions team that ranks 18th in fantasy points per game allowed to wide receivers. Pittman is a deep flex play but the arrow is pointing up again.

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

Week 10 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Michael Pittman has totaled two catches for 30 yards over the last two weeks. It doesn't matter if it's Joe Flacco or Anthony Richardson at quarterback. Pittman has struggled to find consistency for fantasy owners. It doesn't get much easier against the strong Buffalo secondary. Pittman is a borderline WR3/Flex this week.

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Minnesota Vikings

Anthony Richardson's struggles last week really affected Michael Pittman's day, catching just one pass for 16 yards. Now that Joe Flacco is back under center, Pittman has a chance to become a bit more consistent. He gets the Vikings this week, who are allowing the second-most receiving yards per game to wide receivers. With a bit of a higher ceiling this week, Pittman can be considered a WR3/Flex option.

IND WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Houston Texans

Michael Pittman led the way for the Colts in Week 7 with 63 receiving yards, only the second time this season he had over 40 receiving yards. With the continued struggles of quarterback Anthony Richardson, the ceiling is capped for Pittman and the rest of the Colts offense. Add in the fact they are facing the league's 4th-best passing defense and it's an uphill battle this week for Pittman. Consider him a deeper flex this week.
