2024 Outlook
Depth Chart
After having a breakout season in 2022, Pittman continued to produce in 2023. He finished the year with 156 targets, 109 receptions, and 1152 yards. Pittman only found the endzone four times in each of the last two seasons, but this is not unusual given the Colts' rushing tendencies in the red zone.

Pittman has established himself as an elite target earner in the NFL. He garnered a 30.5 percent target share last year, 4th among WRs. His ability to earn targets sets him up with a similar outlook in 2024. He should see 140-150 targets as the Colts' top option in the passing game. He may see a slight dip in catch rate and raw number of receptions due to a transition from Gardner Minshew to Anthony Richardson. However, his sheer volume should be enough to maintain consistent fantasy production.

Pittman's upside is slightly capped due to his lack of red zone usage. However, his volume will keep him afloat. Pittman is drafted as the WR24 and is arguably one of the safest picks in 2024 drafts.

News From The Past 90 Days
Injury Joe Flacco will start for the Colts in Week 6
Anthony Richardson will be emergency QB
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Oct 13, 11:27 am

Indianapolis Colts
Sources: Joe Flacco will start for the #Colts today at Tennessee. Anthony Richardson (oblique) practiced all week and will serve as the emergency No. 3 QB. He could play if needed. But they want to give him another week. So, Flacco gets the ball again. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: Richardson got in one full practice this week (Thursday) but ultimately the team decided to give him one more week of rest. Flacco at quarterback, gives a bump for Josh Downs and even Michael Pittman Jr. who has decided to try and play through his back injury.


Injury Michael Pittman Jr. out multiple weeks with back injury
Colts injuries are mounting
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Oct 9, 5:38 pm

Indianapolis Colts
Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. is dealing with a back injury that is now expected to sideline him multiple weeks, per sources. Injured reserve is an option. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: The Colts are dealing with injuries to Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor and now Pittman heading into Week 6. Josh Downs (toe) missed practice on Wednesday, rookie Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce are likely to be the top three receivers while Pittman is out. Assuming he plays, and Joe Flacco starts at QB, Downs is an easy WR2 this week against the Titans.


Injury Anthony Richardson downgraded to Doubtful for Week 5
Joe Flacco expected to start
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Oct 5, 1:39 pm

Indianapolis Colts
The #Colts downgraded Anthony Richardson to doubtful. Joe Flacco in line to start Sunday vs. Jacksonville. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: Richardson (oblique) got in limited practices all week but he didn't do much on Friday. Flacco at QB gives life to Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs who both saw a 32% target share last week with Flacco playing most of the game. The Jaguars have given up the 5th most fantasy points to receivers this season.
