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.

George Pickens To Move Frequently In Week 5

Thursday, October 2, 9:41 AM

Coming off a monster Week 4, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens could be an even more active part of the Week 5 game plan, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. The offseason trade acquisition had his best game of the season last week against Green Bay, going for eight catches, 134 yards, and two touchdowns in Dallas' first full game without CeeDee Lamb (ankle). This week, with a matchup against the New York Jets and cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner looming, Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said the club plans to move Pickens all over formations to create favorable matchups. That should sound good to managers who roster Pickens, who figures to continue as the top option in Dallas as long as Lamb is out.
