Colts' Michael Pittman Jr. enters concussion protocol
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. entered the league's concussion protocol.
What It Means:
Pittman hasn't reached 50 yards or found the end zone since Week 11 but he's been on the field as much as any of the Colts' receivers. Zach Pascal could see an uptick in targets if Pittman can't clear protocol in time for Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. De'Michael Harris and Ashton Dulin could also play more snaps.
Pittman scored 5.3 FanDuel points on Sunday and hasn't topped 7.1 in five weeks. He's tied with Nyheim Hines for the second-highest target share (15.4 percent) on the Colts in that span, but Pittman has been out-gained by Zach Pascal 204-173. The Jaguars rank in the bottom-10 of the league this season in FanDuel points allowed per game to the wide receiver position.
