Michael Pittman Jr.

The Indianapolis Colts are trading wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a late-round pick swap.

Fantasy Impact

After bringing back Alec Pierce on a deal that slots him inside the top 10 at his position in total value and average annual value, Pittman seemed like a likely candidate to be on the move. He had 784 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025, fitting well with Daniel Jones as he looks to regain form from 2023. Pittsburgh has questions under center, but he will be the steady WR2 alongside DK Metcalf. He is signing a three-year, $59 million extension as part of the move.

The Colts and WR Michael Pittman Jr. will consider a trade.

Fantasy Impact

This news comes after the Colts re-signed WR Alec Pierce to a huge four-year deal. Pittman has been mentioned as a trade candidate this offseason. This will remain a situation to monitor in the coming weeks.

Michael Pittman Jr. caught 2-of-4 targets for 11 yards in the Colts 38-30 loss against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Pittman continued his quiet stretch to end the season after a strong first half of the year. It is unclear what his future looks like with the Colts heading into the offseason.

Michael Pittman Jr. caught 2-of-3 targets for 16 yards in the Colts 23-17 loss against the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

It was a quiet day for all Colts wide receivers. Pittman will be a WR3/WR4 if he even plays in Week 18 against the Texans.

Michael Pittman secured 4 of 5 targets for 32 yards in Monday's loss to the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

For the second straight week, Pittman failed to do much with Philip Rivers under center for the Colts. Notably, fellow Colts' WRs Alec Pierce and Josh Downs both outperformed Pittman in this one. Despite his upside, Pittman will make for a risky play in Week 17.
