Is Matt Ryan final piece of Colts' Super Bowl puzzle?

Impressed with his new QB Pittman, who approaches training camp as the Colts' top wide receiver, looks forward to working with veteran QB Matt Ryan this coming season, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapo...
Impact In 17 games last season, the 2020 second-rounder caught 88 of his 129 targets for 1,082 yards and six TDs. Pittman posted those numbers while working in a run-heavy offense paced by Jonathan Taylor, with Carson Wentz handling the team's signal-caller duties. Wentz's uneven play led to his offseason trade to Washington, paving the way for the arrival of Ryan, a steady veteran QB whose ball placement has impressed the 24-year-old wideout. While Pittman remains the team's clear cut top pass-catching option, Alec Pierce (a 2022 second-round pick) and Parris Campbell, who's had trouble staying on the field, are next up in the Colts' WR pecking order. With that in mind, Pittman is a candidate to see an uptick in production this year, assuming he continues to build chemistry with Ryan as the summer rolls along.

Delivers in garbage time Pittman recorded six receptions on seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Jaguars.
Impact Pittman was shockingly not targeted in the first half of the game, though Carson Wentz took to the air only seven times. However, he came to life on the Colts' final offensive possession of the game, racking up four receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown to salvage his day. Despite recording under five receptions in six games, Pittman took a significant step forward in his second season as a pro by more than doubling each of his target, reception and yardage totals.

HIGHLIGHT ' Carson Wentz Finds Michael Pittman Jr. For Two-Point Conversion Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz finds wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. for two-point conversion.
JANUARY 9, 2022 • COLTS.COM
Records six catches Pittman recorded six catches on six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Raiders.
Impact Pittman was efficient with his opportunities and recorded 7.8 yards per target. However, Carson Wentz took to the air only 27 times, which in turn led to Pittman seeing six targets or fewer for the fifth time in his last eight games. As a result, he's managed to top 70 receiving yards only three times while finding the end zone once in that span. Despite some of those negatives, Pittman topped 1,000 yards for the season with his performance, and he has also doubled his target total from his rookie campaign with one game remaining.

Pivotal game for Colts, Raiders could have playoff impact
The Indianapolis Colts still don't know who will be available to play against Las VegasDECEMBER 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Makes eight receptions in Week 16 Pittman posted eight catches (on 12 targets) for 82 yards and took one carry for three yards during Saturday's 22-16 victory at Arizona.
Impact Pittman bounced back from a Week 15 performance against the Patriots in which he hauled in just one of five targets for seven yards before getting ejected for an altercation with opposing safety Kyle Dugger. In his fifth outing of the season with double-digit targets Saturday, Pittman racked up his most receiving yards since Week 8, but his TD-free streak now has reached six games. He'll look to put together a more complete performance in the Colts' next contest Sunday, Jan. 2 versus the Raiders.

Only one catch before ejection Pittman caught one of five targets for seven yards before being ejected in the third quarter of Saturday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.
Impact It was already a rough night for Pittman and the Colts' passing game as a whole before the wideout got into an altercation with Pats safety Kyle Dugger, which resulted in both players getting tossed. The abbreviated outing wound up being Pittman's least productive game of the season, but it's unlikely he'll face further discipline from the league for his part in the incident, so he should be able to bounce back in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards Pittman caught six of eight targets for 77 yards and rushed twice for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.
Impact Pittman led the Colts in all major receiving categories, rebounding after totaling just 76 yards over his prior two games. The wideout also added a couple rushes for good measure, including a game-long 25-yarder. Overall, he topped 100 scrimmage yards for the third time this season, sending him into the bye week on a positive note.
