Michael Pittman Jr. Week 7 Outlook - Dolphins at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Oct 19th 2024, 1:05am EDT

Pittman Jr. has looked like a shell of himself as he has been playing through a back issue. Pittman Jr. is the WR44 in fantasy, seeing a 22% target share with 1.64 YPRR, four end zone targets, and a 24.2% first-read share. Miami is tied for 12th in two-high rate (47.2%). Against two-high, Pittman's YPRR has fallen to 1.45 while his target share has slightly bumped to 23.1%, and his first-read share has jumped to 28.2%. Temper your expectations for Pittman Jr. this week with the coverage matchup and against a secondary that has yielded the fifth-lowest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Pittman Jr. will run about 75% of his routes against Jalen Ramsey (66.7% catch rate and 84.0 passer rating) and Kendall Fuller (42.9% catch rate and 74.1 passer rating). Pittman didn't practice on Wednesday or Friday, but he practiced in full on Thursday. He has been listed as questionable.
