Michael Pittman Jr. Week 6 Outlook - Texans at Colts

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 14th 2021, 8:31am EDT

It's been fun to watch Pittman assert himself as the Colts' lead receiver. His 42-yard TD catch against the Ravens on Monday night was a beauty, with Pittman reaching back to pluck an underthrown ball from over the head of a defender who was interfering with him at the time, then keeping his balance and fighting off a tackle attempt as he navigated the final 10 yards to the end zone. Over his last four games, Pittman has averaged 9.8 targets, 6.5 receptions and 84.8 yards. T.Y. Hilton is due back from a neck injury soon, but make no mistake: Pittman is the main man in this WR corps now. He checks in at WR26 in the Week 6 rankings. Pittman's price is up to $5,500 on DraftKings, but he's still a value.
