Michael Pittman Jr. Looking to Continue Strong Start to Season

Saturday, October 4, 11:05 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has gotten off to a hot start in 2025. The veteran wide receiver has caught 21 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns through four games. Pittman will look to keep it going in a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have been extremely generous to opposing wideouts this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position through four games. Pittman sets up as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 in this prime matchup, making him an excellent fantasy option this weekend.

DeVonta Smith Needs More Looks in Week 5

Friday, October 3, 7:21 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has struggled through the first quarter of this season, tallying just one touchdown and 158 receiving yards thus far-and his journey won't get any easier in Week 5 as he lines up against the Broncos. What's especially worrying about Smith is that he was thrown to just twice in his most recent performance, which sets a new season-low for him after having three targets in the season opener. He has built a reputation as a boom-or-bust WR, and should be seen as a risky WR3 candidate against a Denver defense allowing 186 yards per game through the air.
