Fantasy Football Player Notes

JT has absolutely smashed over his last two games, accumulating over 100 scrimmage yards in both contests and scoring thrice in that span. He has overall RB1 potential in a Week 6 tilt with Houston's 'meh' defense.

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.

Credit Pascal for consistency: He's had 31 to 48 receiving yards in all five of his games this year. But after scoring three touchdowns in his first two games, he's endured a three-game TD drought. There's just not enough here for a fantasy manager to hang his or her hat on, and the impending return of T.Y. Hilton from a neck injury will make Pascal droppable in many of the leagues where he's rostered.

Campbell is coming off his best game of the season, a four-catch, 56-yard effort Monday against the Ravens in which he had a season-high six targets. But we've waited a long time for this egg to hatch, and it's just not happening. T.Y. Hilton will return from a neck injury soon, further impeding a potential Campbell breakthrough.

Alie-Cox is starting to become a thing. After scoring a pair of touchdowns in Week 4, he had three catches for 50 against the Ravens in Week 5. Although he played 19 fewer snaps than fellow Colts TE Jack Doyle Monday night in Baltimore, Alie-Cox out-targeted Doyle 4-1. The Colts are about to host the Texans, who are giving up a league-high 13.6 points per game to opposing tight ends. Alie-Cox is a mid-range TE2 this week and usable if byes or injuries leave you short at the TE position.
