Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or DeVonta Smith

Saturday, November 8, 9:29 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (glute) practiced fully on Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's session with a glute injury. He is listed without an injury designation and should be ready to roll heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany. Pittman is enjoying a bounce-back season for the Colts, leading the team with 52 catches for 561 yards and six touchdowns in nine games. He will look to keep it going against an Atlanta secondary that is allowing the 26th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers in 2025. The tough matchup isn't ideal but Pittman and the Colts offense have been too good to downgrade in fantasy. He settles in as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 in Week 10 and should be started in all lineups.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has tallied at least nine targets and over 80 receiving yards in three of his last four games as he heads into Monday Night Football versus the Packers this week. Smith has actually garnered more receiving yards and receptions than fellow star WR A.J. Brown this season, even without counting the one game Smith played in that Brown missed. However, to illustrate his boom-or-bust nature, taking away his two best outings this season plummets Smith's yards per game from 73.5 to 48.5. Green Bay is in the middle of the pack, giving up the 16th-most fantasy points to WRs this year, so it comes down to a matter of what version of DeVonta Smith managers will see in Week 10. His recent play has been enough to warrant him a WR2 spot for now.
