BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR47
ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has been a massive fantasy bust over the first three weeks. After finishing the 2023 season as a top-20 wide receiver, Pittman is the WR73 this year, averaging 4.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has scored fewer than 5.7 fantasy points in every game this season, disappointing fantasy players.

Pittman has struggled to consistently see targets. After having eight in Week 1 and seven in Week 2, the veteran had only five last week against the Chicago Bears. The former USC star is a volume-based receiver, meaning he needs a significant target share to be fantasy-relevant.
Unfortunately, Pittman won’t see a massive target share in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The AFC North division leaders have one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL in Joey Porter Jr. Furthermore, they have held wide receivers to only 122 receiving yards and 18.3 fantasy points per game, the fourth-fewest in the NFL.
Fantasy players should expect another quiet performance from Pittman on Sunday.
