Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Pat Freiermuth

Thursday, October 31, 4:40 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe) both logged a full practice on Thursday according to James Boyd of The Athletic. This is a great sign as both wideouts were non-participants during Wednesday's initial practice session. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status during Friday's practice in case they face a setback. Pittman has been dealing with this back injury for a few weeks but has not missed any games. Downs has also been dealing with a lingering injury but has also not missed any time due to it. Both wideouts should be viewed as a solid options this weekend as they will face the Minnesota Vikings who have allowed the most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth came down with both of his two targets for 19 receiving yards in a 26-18 win over the New York Giants. It was an underwhelming showing for Freiermuth on Monday night after seemingly all tight ends dominated on Sunday. Fellow tight end Darnell Washington out-gained Freiermuth despite earning just one opportunity in the contest. Freiermuth has not been targeted frequently by quarterback Russell Wilson after seeing more consistent usage with Justin Fields under center through the first six weeks of the campaign. With the Steelers heading into a Week 9 bye, Freiermuth can be dropped in most formats and should be viewed as just a streaming option going forward.
