News: 2 days agoPittman (groin) didn't practice Sunday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Spin: Pittman first hurt his groin in practice Tuesday, though he was able to resume participation Thursday. However, the star wideout was held out again Saturday and Sunday, so it appears he's not fully past the injury yet. The Colts likely want to make sure Pittman is fully in the clear before he resumes practice given that the team is still in the early stages of training camp.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Pittman is eyeing a rebound campaign after following up three consecutive top-20 fantasy seasons with a 41st-place finish in 2024. He averaged a healthy 27% target share in 10 full games with Anthony Richardson, but that resulted in an ugly 39-428-0 receiving line on 65 targets. He averaged 8.0 fantasy PPG, reaching double digits once (15.6 in Week 12). Pittman continues to struggle to find the end zone (his career high is six and he's had four or fewer three seasons in a row) and that may not change with Richardson under center (the Colts had eight pass TDs in his 10 games last season). As good a player as� Pittman is, Richardson's presence will limit his fantasy output and life may not be much better if Daniel Jones is under center. Pittman is a flex option.
