Indianapolis Colts star wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has struggled this season but has still had 366 yards and two touchdowns through the first eight weeks of the season.

However, the wideout missed last week's game because he was dealing with a back injury he suffered during Week 9. Fantasy managers are wondering when the star will return to the field.

When will Pittman return to action, and what is his fantasy football outlook when he does? Let's dive in.

Michael Pittman Jr. Injury Update

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Pittman Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Sunday’s Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills due to a persistent back injury. While Pittman has been dealing with the issue for several weeks, he has managed to play through it up until now.

However, after missing practice all week, the team decided to hold him out for this contest to allow him to rest and recover. This marks his first missed game of the season.

The Colts will likely look to other options in the passing game while Pittman is sidelined. The team is hopeful that he can fully recover during his time off and aim for a return in Week 11 when they travel to face the New York Jets.

The extended rest could be crucial for Pittman’s long-term health as he looks to get back to full strength for the remainder of the season. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his practice status throughout the week.

 

Michael Pittman Jr. Fantasy Football Outlook

Once Pittman Jr. returns from his back injury, he should be considered a reliable WR2 or WR3 option in fantasy football. Throughout the season, Pittman has been a consistent target in the Colts' passing attack, establishing himself as one of the team's most trusted receivers.

Despite the injury, his previous performances suggest that he can quickly bounce back and continue to play a key role in the offense. Pittman’s volume and target share should remain steady once he's fully healthy.

While his immediate matchup might affect his ceiling, the Colts will rely on him as a key piece in their offense moving forward, solidifying his value as a solid WR2 in most formats and a high-upside WR3 in deeper leagues.

Keep an eye on his recovery, but once back on the field, Pittman has the potential to provide steady fantasy production, especially if he continues to see a heavy target share.
