Availability
Michael Pittman Jr. came up with only 2-of-4 targets for 15 yards in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
Even though Pittman got just three targets during his Steelers' debut back in Week 1, he caught all of them for 58 yards. That was a fairly promising start. Since then, it's been all frustration for Pittman's fantasy managers. He missed Week 2 with an injury, following that up with just four catches for 31 yards over the last two games. If Pittman cannot get going against his former mates from Indy in Week 5, it will probably be time to cut bait in standard-depth leagues.
Michael Pittman Jr. caught 2-of-5 targets for 16 yards in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Pittman was making his return from a foot injury that sidelined him in Week 2. The expectation is that Pittman would immediately eat into Roman Wilson's playing time, but Wilson turned in a 3-60-1 performance in the win. Fantasy managers may want to avoid Pittman in Week 4 against the Browns.
Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is expected to play on Sunday against the Bengals after being considered questionable with a foot injury.
Fantasy Impact
Pittman should give Aaron Rodgers a reliable possession receiver over the middle of the field, opening things up for the offense. Germie Bernard tried to play that role last week, but didn’t quite have the same fluidity as Pittman. He should be a decent WR3 with upside.
Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Pittman missed last week's game due to a foot injury, but he is officially questionable for Week 3 and will have a chance to make his return against the Bengals this week. He was able to practice this week, but he remained limited, so he looks like a true 50-50 at this point. Pat Freiermuth will continue to see more work if the veteran misses another game.
Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) was limited at practice again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran wideout was again a limited participant at practice on Thursday. He missed last week's game due to a foot issue, but he seems to be recovering well and will have a chance to play this week. We should know more about his status when the team's official game statuses get released after practice on Friday.
