Michael Pittman Jr.

Michael Pittman Jr. showcased his alpha status in the Colts' offense, tallying 109 receptions for over 1,100 yards on 156 targets in 16 games, averaging 12.2 fantasy points per game. Despite limited touchdown production, Pittman Jr. commanded a 33% air yards share and a 30% target share, boasting a high floor. With potential for improved touchdown variance in 2024, especially if Anthony Richardson elevates the offense, Pittman Jr. stands to benefit. The addition of Adonai Mitchell in the draft could enhance the overall offensive output without significantly impacting Pittman's target share.

The Colts signed Michael Pittman Jr. to a three-year deal worth up to $71.5M with $46M guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact

The Colts placed the franchise tag on Pittman with hopes of working out a new long-term deal, and they were able to work out a three-year deal. With Anthony Richardson currently on track to be fully healthy by the start of the season, Pittman should continue to post the steady production he has been doing as he enters his fifth season with the Colts.
