From the episode

Pittman borderline rosterable. But I'm going to write about him for the playbook this week... so far, so bad. I would drop Michael Pittman for Jacoby Brissette if I also had Jalen Hurts.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Pittman trending wrong; only WR32 in points despite high usage.

Michael Pittman Jr. is trending the wrong direction through the first month of the season. Despite five straight years of heavy usage and production in Indianapolis, he is only wide receiver 32 in fantasy points and the Colts are not throwing at him despite him playing basically all snaps and running all routes. The source is hopeful he might not yet be featured in the game plan (similar to Rashee Rice early in the season) and that this will change, but so far it's been disappointing. The source would drop Pittman for Jacoby Brissett if also rostering Jalen Hurts.
