Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Puka Nacua

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught eight of his nine targets for 91 yards through the air. However, the young receiver's best play of the day was a 45-yard touchdown run that involved breaking several tackles and winning a foot race to the end zone. Nacua has now scored at least 23 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his two games so far, establishing himself as a top-tier wide receiver in fantasy football. It was impressive to see him continue to produce in a game like Sunday's, where he had a tougher matchup and played in a positive game script. The game script could flip next week against the Philadelphia Eagles, creating even more opportunities for Nacua to earn targets. He's a firm WR1 option going forward.
