Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Tyler Shough

Saturday, November 1, 9:46 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has been a reliable touchdown scorer over the first half of the NFL season. Pittman has found the end zone six times in eight games in what has been a bounce-back season for him. Overall, Pittman has caught 43 passes for 446 yards while reestablishing himself as the No. 1 receiver in Indy after being outproduced by Josh Downs last season. Pittman will look to keep it going on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. The Steelers have struggled against the pass this season, allowing wide receivers to score the sixth-most average fantasy points per game to the position. Pittman sets up as a rock-solid WR2 in fantasy heading into Week 9.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough took over for Spencer Rattler in the third quarter of the blowout loss to the Buccaneers, and head coach Kellen Moore will roll with the rookie for the rest of the season. In limited action thus far, Shough has completed 17 of 32 passes for 128 yards and an interception. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 219 pounds, he offers plenty of arm strength and averaged 9.7 yards per attempt last season at Louisville, highlighting his ability to attack downfield. While he offers little rushing upside, Moore said the team is "not looking back," so expect Shough to let it rip. He's a back-end QB2 or Superflex option against a tough Rams defense.
