Colts WRs Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) were held out of Wednesday's practice. Both guys played through their respective injuries last week and should be available for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. But we'll keep an eye on them the rest of the week.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) will start Sunday's game against the Dolphins "unless there's a setback," HC Shane Steichen said Monday. Richardson was surprisingly inactive for the Week 6 win over the Titans, despite practicing all week. Perhaps QB Joe Flacco's middling performance in that one was enough to push Richardson back into the starting lineup. He'll return to a plus matchup against a Dolphins defense sitting 24th in DVOA. But Richardson will be a risky QB1 play based on what we've seen from him so far this season. His return is also bad news for WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (back) is active for today’s game against the Titans. He went from supposedly being an IR candidate on Wednesday to a full participant in practice on Friday. Pittman still carries added risk in Week 6 fantasy lineups, although QB Joe Flacco getting the start helps his chances.
Colts QB Joe Flacco will start today's game vs. the Titans, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) will serve as the emergency third QB. Flacco played well in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars, throwing for 359 yards and three scores. Today's matchup is tougher, so Flacco is not a recommended QB1 play. But he's good news for WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.
ESPN's Stephen Holder reports that Colts WRs Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) are expected to play against the Titans on Sunday. Both guys got in just limited practices on Friday, so it's safe to assume they won't be at 100% for this one. And, with QB Anthony Richardson expected back under center, Pittman and Downs land outside the top 35 WRs in our Week 6 Rankings.
Colts WR Michael Pittman "has decided he will try to play through the nagging back injury that’s been hampering him," according to insider Jordan Schultz. The Colts "strongly considered" placing Pittman on IR, per Schultz, "but the plan for now is to continue playing." Pittman should be active for this weekend's game vs. the Titans, but he won't be at 100% and could be at risk of limited snaps and/or exiting early. That obviously makes him a risky fantasy starter.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the Titans. After a Wednesday report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Pittman would likely miss multiple weeks with a back injury, he returned to a full practice on Friday. “He’s feeling really good, so we’ll see where that goes,” HC Shane Steichen said. We’ll look for further updates on Pittman’s status and get the Colts’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Colts WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a back injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Pittman didn't practice on Wednesday, so this injury presumably occurred in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. We'll look for more details on the injury and Pittman's timetable for return, but Schefter adds that, "injured reserve is an option."
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. QB Joe Flacco starts in his place. The 39-year-old threw for 168 yards with two TDs and 0 INTs in relief of Richardson last week. And he averaged 323 yards and 2.6 TDs per game across five starts for the Browns last year. Flacco sits well into QB2 range in the Week 5 Rankings, but he’s a significant upgrade for Colts pass catchers.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week. QB Joe Flacco was reportedly taking the first-team reps in the portion of Friday’s practice open to the media. We’ll look for further updates on Richardson’s status and get the Colts’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs will get significant boosts up our rankings if Flacco ends up starting.
Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. racked up 113 yards on 6 receptions in Sunday's win over the Steelers. That more than doubles his season receiving yardage after Pittman totaled just 88 yards through the first three games. It would be easy to attribute the breakthrough to QB Anthony Richardson leaving early with a hip injury. But Pittman made catches of 32 and 28 yards among Richardson's mere four pass attempts before leaving the game. That marked 53% of Pittman's yardage for the game.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been diagnosed with a hip pointer, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports. The "hope" is that Richardson "misses very little or no game action," Wolfe adds. It's relatively good news, although it sounds like Richardson isn't a lock to be ready for Week 5. We'll keep you updated on his progress this coming week.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (back, calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday, although HC Shane Steichen never expressed much concern about his availability for this one. Pittman remains in WR3 territory in the Week 3 Rankings.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (back, calf) is expected to play vs. the Bears today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Pittman was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday. It adds risk to a guy who already projected as just a WR3 in this low-volume Colts passing game.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (back, calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Bears. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday. HC Shane Steichen said Friday afternoon that he expected Pittman to play, but his status will be worth monitoring leading up to the 1 pm ET kickoff.
