Michael Pittman Jr.: High-Floor Fantasy WR3 in Week 17
Across 15 games this season, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has recorded 76 receptions for 757 yards and seven touchdowns on 104 targets. However, Pittman Jr.'s production has fallen off since Philip Rivers took over for Daniel Jones (Achilles) as the starting quarterback in Indianapolis. Across his last two games, Pittman Jr. has recorded seven catches for 58 yards on 10 targets. His touchdown production has also dried up over the second half of the season, as he has just one end zone grab since Week 8. In Week 17, Pittman Jr. will face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has been susceptible to allowing production through the air. The Jaguars enter the week ranked 18th in the NFL in total passing yards allowed (3,492) and 27th in passing touchdowns allowed (26). Pittman Jr. played well in his first matchup of the season against Jacksonville, hauling in nine catches for 79 yards on 12 targets. Pittman Jr.'s lack of explosive ability limits his production upside, but he profiles as a solid fantasy WR3 in Week 17.
