The Indianapolis Colts (3-0) will visit the Los Angeles Rams (2-1) in Week 4. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Michael Pittman Jr..

Should You Start or Sit Michael Pittman Jr. in Week 4?
Michael Pittman has 16 catches through three weeks, scoring twice in the process.
We would have done unthinkable things to get a production line like that a season ago, but this seems to be the new reality with Daniel Jones under center.
If you want to bet against Dimes, selling his WR1 now at cost is the play, but I’m inclined to hold. The third-quarter touchdown over the weekend was the type of play you don’t see from sporadic fantasy options. Pittman and Jones timed a zone beater perfectly, and he cashed it in.
Pittman has never scored more than six times in a season, so asking him to keep up this pace probably isn’t fair, but an 80-catch season with 6-8 touchdowns? That’s a nice profit based on what you paid this summer.
I’ve got Pittman as a firm part of the flex conversation this week, ranking ahead of the “we have a QB problem” tier that includes, but is not limited to, Tee Higgins and Brian Thomas.
