Michael Pittman Jr.

Michael Pittman Jr. proved his alpha status all year long in the Colts offense with 109 receptions (7th) on 156 targets, accumulating 1,152 yards, averaging 10.6 yards per catch. Like Josh Downs, he had an equally bad TD production with only 4 TDs. Even so, in 16 games, racking up 195.7 fantasy points (WR15 overall), which averages out to 12.2 points per game (WR19). Nearly 1300 air yards (33% air yards share), with a 30% target share to boot - 4th-highest among all WRs. Pittman comes with a super-high floor that could be further unlocked with better TD variance in 2024. He will return to the Colts after signing a long-term contract extension.

The Colts signed Michael Pittman Jr. to a three-year deal worth up to $71.5M with $46M guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact

The Colts placed the franchise tag on Pittman with hopes of working out a new long-term deal, and they were able to work out a three-year deal. With Anthony Richardson currently on track to be fully healthy by the start of the season, Pittman should continue to post the steady production he has been doing as he enters his fifth season with the Colts.
