2022 Fantasy Outlook
Pittman enjoyed his first 1,000-yard season in 2021, playing 17 games and catching more than
twice as many passes as any Colt. The 2020 second-round pick had shown promise as a
rookie, including 101 total yards in a playoff loss to Buffalo, but he wasn't at the top of many lists last spring for second-year wideout breakouts. No matter, Pittman quickly established himself as Option A in an otherwise lifeless passing game, with six or more catches in four of Indy's first five matchups. Through eight weeks, Pittman averaged 74.3 yards and 0.5 TDs on 8.1 targets
per game from QB Carson Wentz, who finished 20th in YPA (6.9) and 27th in completion
percentage (62.4). It eventually caught up to Pittman, who dropped to 4.8 catches for 54.2 yards
and 0.2 TDs on 7.1 targets in the final nine games. The silver lining is that his target share
remained steady throughout, with the dip in volume a product of Wentz averaging a mere 27.3
pass attempts in the final nine games. The Colts will still lean on Jonathan Taylor and a strong
offensive line this season, but they likely won't hide new QB Matt Ryan the way they often hid
Wentz. If nothing else, Ryan makes fewer mistakes, and some of his decline the last two
seasons was due to the mess around him in Atlanta. The Colts are betting on a bounce back,
and Pittman is a huge favorite to lead them in targets after they passed on top wideouts in free
agency, instead drafting second-round pick Alec Pierce. Read Past Outlooks

Touchdown grab to close out season
Pittman secured three of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 32-31 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for no gain and recovered a fumble.
ANALYSIS
Pittman was able to finish a solid third season by recording a touchdown grab for a second consecutive game on a one-yard catch late in the first quarter to open the scoring for the Colts. Pittman finished a campaign that was marred by a revolving door of mostly pedestrian quarterback play for the Colts just one reception short of 100, but he did cross the 900-yard threshold and also tallied four touchdowns. The 2020 second-round pick is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, and given his impressive body of work over the last two seasons in particular, it remains to be seen if he and the club talk contract extension this offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Last year's 34th overall pick, Pittman missed three games after having surgery for compartment syndrome, but then showed flashes when he was healthy, even with shot-putter Philip Rivers throwing him the ball. Pittman finished with 8.2 YPT, two catches of 40-plus yards and a 100-yard game in Week 10 against the Titans. Not included in Pittman's season totals are his stats from the wild-card loss to Buffalo, in which he put up a 10-5-90 receiving line with an 11-yard run, to boot. At 6-4, 223, Pittman is massive, and he moves well for his size - 4.52 40. (Think a slightly smaller Mike Evans.) The Colts' receiving corps is wide open, featuring a past-his-prime T.Y. Hilton, physically gifted but never healthy Parris Campbell and the steady but unspectacular Zach Pascal. It's possible none emerge as a true No. 1, but Pittman might be the best bet among the four, especially with Hilton starting the season on IR after neck surgery.
