Michael Pittman Jr. Week 8 Outlook - Colts at Texans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Pittman is the WR44 in fantasy points per game, ranking tenth among wideouts in red zone targets. In Anthony Richardson's four starts, Pittman hasn't finished higher than WR37 in weekly fantasy scoring or surpassed 63 receiving yards. This passing offense has struggled with Richardson under center. Overall, Pittman has had a 21.9% target share, a 23.7% air-yard share, 1.75 YPRR, and a 23.8% first-read share. It's tough to get excited about Pittman this week as anything more than a WR3/4 or flex play. Houston ranks 15th in PPR points per target and has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.
