Michael Pittman Jr. Week 6 Outlook - Cardinals at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 9th 2025, 1:35pm EDT

Pittman Jr. has already defied any preseason expectations that I had for him in 2025 as the WR13 in fantasy points per game. He is 18th among wide receivers in deep targets and has three red zone targets. Pittman Jr. has already tied his season-high for receiving touchdowns over the last four years. He's only two scores away from tying his career-high for a season. He has a 22.2% target share, 1.96 yards per route run (56.5 receiving yards per game), and a 25.4% first-read share. This week, he faces a Cardinals defense that has utilized two high at the ninth-highest rate (57.2%). Against two high, Pittman Jr. has seen his target share increase to 24.4% with 2.28 yards per route run with a 30.5% first-read share. Pittman Jr. should have a productive day against a secondary that hasn't allowed a receiving touchdown to perimeter wide receivers but has surrendered the sixth-most receiving yards per game to the position.
