Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Keon Coleman

Saturday, September 13, 8:06 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (glute) will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Pittman was listed on the injury report with a glute issue after Week 1, but he practiced fully all week and has no injury status heading into Sunday. The veteran wideout turned in a solid game in a Week 1 win over the Miami Dolphins, leading the team with 80 receiving yards and a touchdown. He might have a tougher time getting going against lockdown corner Patrick Surtain II in Week 2, however. Treat Pittman as a flex option, but don't be afraid to leave him on the bench if you have a better option due to the tough matchup.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman was viewed as a breakout candidate entering the season, and he lived up to the billing in a Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Coleman led the Bills in catches (eight), targets (11), yards (112), and touchdowns (one) against a strong Ravens secondary. He'll face another major challenge this week with New York Jets shutdown cornerback Sauce Gardner on the opposing side. Gardner performed brilliantly in a Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, giving up just one catch for 11 yards to No. 1 receiver DK Metcalf. He lined up across from Metcalf on 30 of 34 passing plays, according to Next Gen Stats, and Coleman could be in for a similar fate this week. That's not to say Coleman won't produce - Metcalf still finished with four catches for 83 yards, as he didn't exclusively match up against Gardner - but there should be wariness going into Week 2 against an elite corner.
