Scores second TD of 2022 Pittman caught seven of 11 targets for 61 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Pittman's 16 receiving yards in the first half were enough for the team lead, as Matt Ryan mustered just 36 passing yards. The QB locked onto rookie tight end Jelani Woods (eight catches for 98 yards) for most of the second half but turned back to Pittman for a six-yard touchdown in the final minute of the third quarter. It was the wideout's first touchdown since Week 1. After the Steelers went back up 24-17, Pittman jump-started the Colts' last-gasp drive late in the fourth with a 28-yard catch, then picked up just enough to move the chains on 4th-and-three before the drive petered out on the next set of downs. He'll face Trevon Diggs and the Cowboys in Week 13.

Strong showing in tough matchup Pittman caught six passes for 75 yards on seven targets against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Impact Pittman did a good job in a tough matchup, providing almost automatic returns despite facing difficult coverage from Philadelphia's standout boundary corners. Pittman is almost always a central piece of the Indianapolis game plan, and the same should prove true against Pittsburgh in Week 12.

Seven grabs in Week 10 win Pittman caught seven of nine targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Raiders.

Impact With Matt Ryan back under center instead of Sam Ehlinger, the Colts' passing game showed a little more life, and Pittman caught at least seven passes for the fifth time in nine games. The third-year wideout is on pace to reach 100 receptions for the first time as well as deliver his second straight 1,000-yard campaign, but he faces a tough test in Week 11 against the Eagles' star-studded secondary.

Non-factor against New England Pittman recorded three receptions on six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Sam Ehlinger mustered only 103 passing yards in the loss, severely limiting all of his receivers. Pittman still led the team with six targets, though nearly all of them came in short areas of the field, with his longest catch of the day going for just 10 yards. Pittman has only 10 receptions for 75 yards combined in two games since Ehlinger has taken over as the starting quarterback in Indianapolis.

Earns nine targets Pittman recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Even with Sam Ehlinger under center, Pittman commanded nine targets, with the next closest Colt seeing only five. However, he still lacked big-play ability, as his longest catch of the day went for 16 yards, and only one of his six other receptions went for double-digit yards. Pittman should continue to see plenty of volume, but he now has fewer than 60 yards in four of his last five games.

Pedestrian performance in loss Pittman recorded six receptions on nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Titans.

Impact Coming off of a 16-target performance, Pittman remained heavily involved in the Colts' offense but was outshined by Parris Campbell. He was also held under 60 yards for the third time in six games this season, as only two of his catches went for double-digit yards. Pittman has become very reliant on volume, as his two 100-yard tallies came in games when he had 13 and 16 targets, respectively. That may say more about the Colts' offense than Pittman, but it still isn't particularly positive for his outlook moving forward.

Monster performance in win Pittman brought in 13 of 16 targets for 134 yards in the Colts' 34-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Pittman paced the Colts in receptions, receiving yards and targets in a standout performance that saw him left out of Matt Ryan's three-touchdown barrage and come up just short of securing a two-point conversion grab, but that still led to season-best numbers across the board. Pittman now has a pair of 100-yard efforts on the campaign, and he'll look to make his first trip to the end zone since Week 1 in the Colts' AFC South road showdown versus the Titans in Week 7.

Five receptions in Week 5 win Pittman secured five of eight targets for 59 yards in the Colts' 12-9 overtime win over the Broncos on Thursday night.

Impact Pittman checked in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Alec Pierce in the low-scoring win. Pittman, the standout third-year wideout, had a night where his numbers represented somewhat of a resurgence after he'd generated a season-low 3-31 line in Week 4 against the Titans, but fantasy managers will be looking for more of a return to the 8.5 receptions and 96.5 yards Pittman averaged over the first two games when he next takes the field versus the Jaguars at home a week from Sunday.

Quiet against Titans Pittman recorded three receptions on six targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Titans.

Impact Pittman tied for the team lead with six targets, though that was down considerably from his marks of 13 and nine in his other two games this season. The Titans also kept Pittman limited to short areas of the field, as his longest reception went for only 14 yards. Until the Colts get the run game going or a supporting pass catcher emerges, opposing defenses may be able to focus all of their attention on Pittman. He's still capable of providing big performances, but the state of the Colts' offense could lead to inconsistency in his results.
