Fantasy Football Outlook
Michael Pittman: With Minshew under center, Pittman has had a 28.5% target share, a 34.1% air-yard share, 2.22 YPRR, and a 37.0% first-read share. Pittman is the WR17 in fantasy and is tied for the second-most red zone targets in the NFL. Since Week 7, Tennessee has utilized zone coverage at the ninth-highest rate (75.6%). Since Week 6, with Minshew starting and Josh Downs playing at least 65% of snaps, Pittman has had a 22% target share, a 28.4% air-yard share, 1.54 YPRR, and a 29.4% first-read share against zone. Pittman should eat again this week against a Tennessee secondary that, since Week 7, has allowed the fifth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Pittman will run about 70% of his routes against Sean-Murphy Bunting (65.5% catch rate and 87.3 passer rating) and Kristian Fulton (72.3% catch rate and 122.5 passer rating). Week 13 Positional Value: WR1/2
