4. Michael Pittman Jr., WR, Indianapolis Colts (vs. TEN)

Michael Pittman Jr. had easily his best game of the season last Sunday, catching 13-of-16 targets for 134 yards. The volume there was about as good as you can possibly get with a Matt Ryan-led Colts team, and it’s fair to wonder if that’s the absolute ceiling for Pittman, especially because Ryan threw a whopping 58 times. Jonathan Taylor also missed this one, leaving the Colts to play way more one-dimensional than usual.

Regardless, Pittman gets a very favorable matchup against the league’s worst statistical secondary in the Tennessee Titans. In their first matchup, Pittman was quiet, going 3-31. But the Colts have proven that they can throw the ball all game, meaning Pittman should be able to capitalize against a bad defense. He’s a safe-floor WR2 this week, and he should be an interesting play in DFS lineups.
