Michael Pittman Jr. is expected to miss the Colts' mandatory minicamp from June 10-12, 2025, due to a minor knee injury sustained during OTAs. While the injury is not serious, the Colts are being cautious with their top receiver. Pittman is projected to be ready for training camp later this summer.
For the 2025 season, Pittman aims to improve upon his 2024 performance, where he recorded 69 receptions for 808 yards and 3 touchdowns. His fantasy value is closely tied to the Colts' quarterback situation. With Anthony Richardson sidelined due to a shoulder injury, Daniel Jones is taking first-team reps. Pittman could see improved WR2 upside if Jones, known for his short and intermediate passing accuracy, secures the starting role.
The Colts' offense is bolstered by young talent, including Josh Downs and rookie Tyler Warren, which could open up opportunities for Pittman to thrive as a possession receiver. Fantasy managers should monitor the quarterback competition closely, as Pittman's production could vary significantly based on the outcome.
