Ranked in the dub flex category for Week 1 in PPR leagues, preferred over DK Metcalf; will run routes over the middle of the field against the Falcons' weakened pass defense, avoiding AJ Terrell's perimeter coverage. Favorable matchup with upside.PositiveValueAug 28, 2026
The source is high on Michael Pittman Jr. in round eight, particularly for PPR formats, ranking him above DK Metcalf.

Michael Pittman Jr. was taken at pick 92 in a mock draft as a flex play in the later rounds, part of a strategy of peppering flex spots with running backs and wide receivers after securing core positions.NegativeProjectionDec 24, 2025
Michael Pittman Jr. is ranked third among Indianapolis receivers for Week 17 against Jacksonville and falls into the shaky flex category. The source is not betting on any of the Colts receivers having good games.PositiveProjectionDec 11, 2025
Despite receiving high target volume last week from Riley Leonard, BDGE Fantasy Football does not recommend looking at anyone in the Colts offense with excitement regardless of who is under center (Rivers or Riley Leonard) given the tough Seahawks defense and overall matchup difficulty. Last week's high target volume was situational—Indianapolis was down multiple scores in a prevent-defense context—and is not predictive of sustained role.PositiveRoleDec 9, 2025
Colts pass-catcher who benefits from Philip Rivers at QB for improved stability and checkdown opportunities compared to Riley Leonard. The source cautions against over-projecting Pittman's strong Week 14 performance with Leonard, noting Jacksonville was up 2–3 touchdowns and playing cover-four defense designed to funnel checkdowns, not indicative of sustainable target share.NegativeValueDec 4, 2025
Vegas projects Michael Pittman at 51.5 receiving yards, nearly identical to Josh Pierce (56.5). Pittman has a slight edge in receptions based on target depth and offensive involvement. Categorized as 'dub flex' but ranked below Khalil Shakir for Week 14; the source would start Shakir over Pittman due to a tier gap.
