BALLER MOVE: Start Pittman Jr. if you are depleted at WR or have others on a bye
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/WR4
ANALYSIS: After signing a 3-year / $71.5 million extension with the Colts this offseason, Pittman Jr. hasn't looked like his old self. He doesn't have a weekly fantasy finish better than WR21 and is facing some stiff competition from his teammates Josh Downs, Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce.
Starting quarterback Anthony Richardson has missed the team's last few games while veteran Joe Flacco has filled in.
So far on the year, Bigsby has 41 rush attempts for 297 yards (7.2 YPC) and two touchdowns. However, he isn't used much as a receiver with just one reception for 28 yards.

This week, though, you might want to keep those fantasy hopes in check. Pittman Jr. has been battling a back injury and isn't yet at 100 percent health. The Dolphins' secondary is tight, giving up the fifth-lowest receiving yards per game to wideouts on the perimeter.
So far, Pitman has hobbled to WR44 in fantasy rankings, clutching a 22% target share with stats like 1.64 yards per route run (YPRR) and just four looks in the end zone.
