News: 18 hours agoPittman recorded six catches on six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans.

Spin: Daniel Jones distributed targets fairly evenly, as four Colts pass catchers were targeted at least four times. Pittman led the way in every statistic, highlighted by a 20-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter and a 17-yard gain later in the same quarter. While Pittman has the potential to be the leader of the receiving corps, targets have been relatively evenly distributed through three weeks, so Pittman will need to rely on efficiency to deliver strong statistical lines in most weeks.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Pittman is eyeing a rebound campaign after following up three consecutive top-20 fantasy seasons with a 41st-place finish in 2024. He averaged a healthy 27% target share in 10 full games with Anthony Richardson, but that resulted in an ugly 39-428-0 receiving line on 65 targets. He averaged 8.0 fantasy PPG, reaching double digits once (15.6 in Week 12). Pittman continues to struggle to find the end zone (his career high is six and he's had four or fewer three seasons in a row) and, while that may not have changed with Richardson under center (the Colts had eight pass TDs in his 10 games last season), he'll be in a more fantasy-friendly spot with Daniel Jones winning the Colts' starting gig. Pittman is an underated flex option with WR3 upside.
