Colts Need Michael Pittman Jr. To Take Next Step
3 years agoThe Indianapolis Colts enter the 2021 season without a true No. 1 receiver for quarterback Carson Wentz, as T.Y. Hilton has seen his numbers dip the past two seasons. The team will be looking for second-year receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to be the guy who steps up and takes on that role. According to Zak Keefer of The Athletic, Pittman is ready for that role, saying "I want to be that guy" when asked about being the team's lead receiver. Pittman had five catches for 90 yards in the team's playoff loss last season, flashing his big-play ability and showing why the Colts believe in the young player so much. Currently ranked just outside of the top 100 by RotoBaller's rankings team, Pittman is a fascinating upside pick this year in redraft leagues.
