Michael Pittman: Worst showing of seasonPittman recorded one reception on four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans.
Michael Pittman caught 1-of-4 targets for 13 yards in Indianapolis' Week 13 loss to the Texans.It's been a concerning trend for Pittman that the Colts continue to get their other pass-catchers more involved when Daniel Jones gets blitzed, and Jones pushing the ball downfield to Alec Pierce when he has time. This was Pittman's third straight game under 30 yards, and he didn't see a single red zone target to make up for it. You'll be starting him as a classic WR3 profile against the Jaguars in Week 14, but this isn't going notably well for Pittman of late.
Tyler Warren caught 3-of-4 targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Indianapolis' Week 13 loss to the Texans.He was left almost wide open on his touchdown catch, with backup S Myles Bryant pursuing a red-zone play-action fake. Other than that, his most eventful play was fumbling away an attempted TE sneak on fourth-and-1 in the red zone. Warren will remain on the TE1 line against the Jaguars in Week 14, but like Michael Pittman, his floor has taken a hit in recent weeks. He's crossed 60 yards just once in his last five games.

Michael Pittman caught 5-of-8 targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' Week 12 loss to the Chiefs.Daniel Jones couldn't get anything going downfield in this game. That, of course, is not the end of the world for Pittman. The Colts' top wideout soaked up underneath looks, leading the team in targets en route to a 26 percent target share. Pittman cashed in early with a six-yard score to punish a Patrick Mahomes interception. The veteran wideout is up to eight touchdowns on the year. He isn't likely to hit nine in Week 13 versus the Texans, but Pittman's role as the Colts' top pass-catcher will keep him in the WR2 ranks.
