Should You Start or Sit Pittman in Week 10?
The Colts were largely a mess on Sunday, but Michael Pittman recorded his first 100-yard performance of the season and earned 9+ targets for a third consecutive game.
At the beginning of this season, I was worried that this offense was going to function similarly to that of Green Bay’s: a viable passing game, but no one receiver you could rely on weekly.
That’s not the case. Alec Pierce and Josh Downs have had their moments, but five top-15 finishes for Pittman are more than enough to consider him the alpha of this high-functioning offense and a fantasy lineup lock.
Given the price you paid for him on draft day and the weekly positive contributions he’s made to your starting lineup, Pittman is in the running for most valuable drafted asset this year, and I don’t think that’s at all a hot take.
He could draw shadow coverage this week, and Daniel Jones is coming off of a five-turnover game. In theory, that’s as bad of a lead-in as you can have to a week, and yet, Pittman is still safely ranked inside of my top 20 at the position.
