Michael Pittman Jr. Takes a Back Seat in Week 2 Win

Monday, September 15, 8:39 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. turned in a modest outing in his team's 29-28 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. After an encouraging Week 1 that saw him catch six balls for 80 yards and a touchdown, Pittman caught four of his five targets for just 40 yards against the Broncos. Of course, Pittman had to contend with lockdown corner Patrick Surtain II for much of the afternoon, which may have led Daniel Jones to look elsewhere when he dropped back to pass. With a Week 3 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans, Pittman is likely to operate as a decent WR4 with upside moving forward.

Justin Herbert Spectacular in Win Over Chiefs

Saturday, September 6, 12:46 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 318 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Friday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also took three sacks and rushed for 32 yards. The former first-round pick started off the 2025 season on the right foot, and there's no indication that he's slowing down anytime soon. If anything, his schedule only gets easier in the short term as the Chargers take on the Las Vegas Raiders next week. Herbert has quickly asserted himself as a strong QB1 option in fantasy football.
