Michael Pittman Jr. Ready To Go For Week 3
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) is "ready to go" for the team's Week 3 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Frank Reich. Pittman was held out of action in Week 2, and the Colts' offense struggled mightily without their No. 1 wide receiver. They'll need all they can get out of him, as they will likely need to score a lot of points to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and company. Pittman can be locked into lineups as a low-end WR1 option this week, as he draws a solid matchup with a Chiefs defense that just allowed 113 yards and a touchdown to Mike Williams in Week 2.
Sep 23, 2022 • 6:22 PM | RotoBallerMichael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce Practicing Thursday
Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) and Alec Pierce (concussion) participated in practice on Thursday once again after the two returned on Wednesday. Both were held out of action in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it looks like the Colts wide receiver duo has a good shot to return to action in Week 3. Pittman Jr. wouldn't comment on the status of his injury, so fantasy managers should keep an eye out for practice reports on Friday, and his game status leading up to Sunday. If he is able to return, fantasy managers can treat him as a low-end WR1 in a solid matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, who just gave up 113 yards and a touchdown to Mike Williams. Pierce, on the other hand, is off the fantasy radar in conventional-sized leagues
Sep 22, 2022 • 6:49 PM | RotoBallerMichael Pittman Jr. Returns To Practice On Wednesday
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Without the star receiver, Indianapolis struggled to move the ball through the air in their 24-0 defeat. The Athletic's Zak Keefer believes the third-year receiver should be ready to play for the Week 3 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The return of Pittman would be massive for fantasy players after he caught nine of his 13 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. If he plays, Pittman is locked in as a low-end WR1.
Sep 21, 2022 • 6:23 PM | RotoBallerMichael Pittman Jr. Could Play In Week 3
Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) has "made some good progress" with his injured quad and could return in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. "Hoping it's just a one game thing," Reich said. Without Pittman available in Week 2, Indy's offense was unable to get anything going and put up a donut on the scoreboard in a 24-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Parris Campbell didn't catch either of his two targets, and Ashton Dulin led the team with a 5-79-0 line. Fantasy managers will have a better idea of whether Pittman will be able to play this week once the team's practice reports come out on Wednesday. If the 24-year-old ends up missing just one game, he'll be a must-start in Week 3 against KC.
Sep 19, 2022 • 9:14 PM | RotoBallerMichael Pittman Jr. Ruled Out In Week 2
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) has been downgraded from questionable to out in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pittman was injured in Wednesday's practice and now won't play this weekend. With rookie Alec Pierce (concussion) also out, the Colts will be thin on pass-catchers for quarterback Matt Ryan as they look for their first win of 2022. Expect Parris Campbell, Ashton Dulin and Mike Strachan to serve in three-wide sets in this one. Campbell becomes an intriguing flex play with upside. Pass-catching running back Nyheim Hines, who caught all six of his targets for 50 yards in the Week 1 tie with the Houston Texans, will also be attractive as a flex play in PPR formats.
Sep 17, 2022 • 4:56 PM | RotoBallerMichael Pittman Jr. Questionable For Week 2
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Week 2, head coach Frank Reich announced. Pittman aggravated the injury on Wednesday and was limited in practice. Then, he was a non-participant on Thursday. It is unclear if he practiced in any capacity on Friday, but the good news is that the questionable designation leaves the door open for him to play on Sunday. If active, the 24-year-old would rank as a top-12 option against a Jaguars secondary that surrendered the second-most points to wideouts last week. If he can't go, the Colts would be without both Pittman and Alec Pierce (concussion), leaving Parris Campbell as the top option. We should know more about Pittman's availability by Sunday morning, and the Colts' 1 p.m. kickoff gives fantasy managers some flexibility in case a last-minute lineup change is needed.
Sep 16, 2022 • 6:03 PM | RotoBallerMichael Pittman Jr. Misses Thursday's Practice
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) missed practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. The Colts might just be resting their No. 1 receiver ahead of Friday's practice, but it's something for fantasy managers to keep an eye on heading into the team's Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The 24-year-old is the Colts clear top pass-catcher after he caught nine of his 13 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 tie with the Houston Texans. If Pittman is active this weekend, he's a must-start in fantasy in what could be a breakout year in 2022.
Sep 15, 2022 • 9:14 PM | RotoBallerMichael Pittman Jr. On The Week 2 Injury Report
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Pittman's injury isn't viewed as too serious, as he was able to play 98% of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 tie with the Houston Texans. He caught nine of his 13 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown to kick off the regular season. The 24-year-old should remain in starting lineups in all leagues as a WR1 as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks later this week.
