Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Brian Thomas Jr.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season in a 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7. Pittman has been a dangerous red-zone weapon for a red-hot Colts offense through the first seven games of the season. He will look to keep it going in Week 8's home matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. Pittman's projection is downgraded a bit with Josh Downs returning from a one-week absence due to a concussion, but he will remain a threat to find the endzone regardless. He sets up as a low-end WR2 in fantasy in Week 8 against Tennessee.

According to the Athletic's Dianna Russini, the Jacksonville Jaguars are listening to trade calls for wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Despite the rumors, Russini added that a deal is highly unlikely to materialize before the deadline. It's been a rough start to the season for Thomas, who has posted just 365 yards and one touchdown through seven games while struggling with nine drops (most in the NFL). Despite the early-season issues, Thomas's talent remains undeniable; he finished third in the league in receiving yards during his standout rookie campaign. While a trade isn't expected, Thomas's situation will be worth monitoring ahead of the November 4 trade deadline.
