The Indianapolis Colts and fantasy football players alike will have to scramble given the latest news regarding wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that Pittman is expected to miss multiple weeks with a back injury and could eventually be placed on injured reserve. If Indianapolis places him on IR, he will be forced to miss four games at a minimum.
The solution for the Colts and fantasy football players may be the same.
Rely on Alec Pierce and Josh Downs.
Downs and Pierce figure to be the most targeted wide receivers for the Colts while Pittman is sidelined, which makes them instant waiver-wire options.
