Michael Pittman Jr. Pops For 100-Plus Yards In Week 4 Win

2 months ago

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. grabbed six of his nine targets for 113 yards in the team's 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittman had, far and away, his best game of the season so far, coming against an opponent that has severely limited No. 1 WRs through the first three weeks. Despite the change in QB after the injury to Anthony Richardson (hip), Pittman saw a pretty even split in production once QB Joe Flacco relieved him. Pittman got 60 yards from Richardson and the other 53 from Flacco. Pittman was tied with WR Josh Downs for the most targets among all pass-catchers, both finishing with nine. The 26-year-old is showing flashes from last season, where he could provide fantasy managers with an incredibly safe floor week in and week out with his high target share. Reports suggest that Richardson isn't likely to miss extended time with his injury, but either way, fantasy managers can put him back into the WR2 range in a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
