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 Indianapolis in Week 18
Anthony Richardson ruled Out with back injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Jan 3, 1:08 pm

Indianapolis Colts
Colts ruled out QB Anthony Richardson for Sunday’s regular-season finale vs. the Jaguars due to his back injury. One final start this season for Colts QB Joe Flacco. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Flacco will once again give some fantasy life to wide receivers Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. Last week, Pittman finished with a 9-109-1 line on 10 targets against the Giants. The Jaguars have given up the 4th most fantasy points to QBs, and the 7th most fantasy points to wide receivers in half-PPR leagues.


Injury Anthony Richardson misses all week, Questionable
Back and Foot injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 27, 1:06 pm

Indianapolis Colts
Colts HC Shane Steichen: QB Anthony Richardson (back/foot) questionable vs. Giants. 'We'll see how next 48 hours go.' Did not practice this week. (Mike Chappell on X)

FFToday's Take: Sounds like Richardson is truly questionable to play this week against the Giants. If he sits, Joe Flacco would get the start which would be a boost for the fantasy values of Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. We should get more info on Richardson's status over the weekend.


Injury Josh Downs unlikely to play in Week 13
Considered week-to-week with shoulder injury
By: Doug Orth | Mon Nov 25, 7:10 pm

Indianapolis Colts
#Colts WR Josh Downs, who left Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury, is considered week-to-week and is a long-shot to play on Sunday against the #Patriots, source said. But the belief is he did not suffer a major injury. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)

FFToday's Take: One major factor in this decision could be the Colts' belief that they can beat the Patriots without Downs. Another factor is that Indy's bye is in Week 14, which should be enough time for most non-major shoulder injuries to heal. Expect the Colts to rely heavily on Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman Jr. on the rare occasion Anthony Richardson drops back to pass.


Injury Michael Pittman Jr. Out for Week 10
Back injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Nov 8, 1:06 pm

Indianapolis Colts
Colts HC Shane Steichen: Michael Pittman Jr. (finger, back) OUT vs. Bills. Did not practice this week. Taking it week to week. Been battling it. It's the back. IR not being considered. (Mike Chappell on X)

FFToday's Take: Pittman has been battling a back injury the last couple weeks and it's no surprise his production has been lacking. Rookie Adonai Mitchell should see his snap rate increase and Josh Downs should be considered the top receiving option against the Bills in Week 10. In this same game, the Bills have ruled out Keon Coleman with a wrist injury.


Injury Jonathan Taylor expected to play in Week 8
Off the injury report
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 25, 3:49 pm

Indianapolis Colts
#Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is officially off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. Houston. WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. also will play. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: Taylor has missed the last three games with a sprained ankle but will make his return in Week 8 against the Texans. There's been no indication of a limited role but the matchup isn't great as the Texans have given up the 4th fewest fantasy points to the position. He's in the RB2 range for this week.
