Michael Pittman Jr. Given Limited Tag Wednesday

The Indianapolis Colts listed wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion) as limited on their estimated practice report on Wednesday. It's a good start to the week for Pittman after he suffered a concussion in Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he's not out of the woods yet and must continue to improve in order to get the green light to play in Week 16 on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. The 26-year-old pass-catcher is a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's active, as he currently ranks as the WR12 in half-PPR scoring thanks to 99 receptions for 1,062 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games played. If Pittman isn't cleared in time for Sunday's contest, it will be a big blow to Indy's offense as they attempt to stay in the AFC playoff picture. Rookie receiver Josh Downs and Alec Pierce would find themselves being targeted much more.
