1. Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts (vs. Jacksonville Jaguars)

Michael Pittman Jr. was as advertised in Week 1, living up to all of the offseason hype. He caught 9-of-13 targets for 121 yards and a touchdown, and had clear chemistry with new Colts’ quarterback Matt Ryan. The breakout talk sure looks promising after his solid Week 1 performance.

Pittman will have a chance to repeat, and possibly improve on his success in Week 2 as the Colts face the Jacksonville Jaguars, who just allowed 313 yards and four touchdowns to Carson Wentz.

It seemed as though their secondary couldn’t hang with any of the Commanders’ receivers at all. Pittman is arguably better than any receiver on the Commanders, so he will have a solid chance of dominating Week 2. Count him in as a mid-range WR1 this week.
