Tough outing against Texans Pittman caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.

Impact Pittman finished third among wide receivers in targets and receiving yards, as Zach Pascal and T.Y. Hilton both garnered six targets and recorded more than 70 yards. The rookie out of Arizona State is in a bit of a cold spell, as he has caught more than two passes just once over the past four games, failing to surpass 50 receiving yards or score a touchdown in any of those outings.

Posts 45 scrimmage yards Pittman caught two of five targets for 42 yards, adding a three-yard rush during Sunday's 44-27 win against the Raiders.

Impact The rookie posted two receptions of 19-plus yards during Week 14, however, he continues to endure a down stretch of fantasy production. Pittman racked up 14 catches for 223 yards and a touchdown between Weeks 9 and 11, but he's now been held under 50 receiving yards with no touchdowns over each of his past three outings. Workload remains consistent for the USC product, as he's attracted five-plus targets in five of his past six contests heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Texans.

Catches all five targets Pittman caught all five of his targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.

Impact Pittman finished second on the team in catches and receiving yards while tying for second in targets. His long gain went for just 13 yards, however, as he finished with a lackluster average of 9.2 yards per reception. Meanwhile, T.Y. Hilton enjoyed his best performance of the season and seems to be hitting his stride after playing second fiddle to Pittman in recent weeks. Despite seeing 14 targets over the last two games, Pittman has snared just seven of those while totaling 74 yards and will look to improve his efficiency in next Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

Can't deliver despite opportunity Pittman recorded two receptions on nine targets for 28 yards in Week 12 against the Titans.

Impact Pittman was the most-targeted wideout for the Colts, but he was uncharacteristically inefficient. Entering the Week 12 contest, Pittman had broken out across his last two games by converting 11 targets into 10 receptions, 167 yards and a touchdown. The entire Indianapolis offense was poor against the Titans, however, and Pittman will have the chance to bounce back in a positive matchup in Week 13 against the Texans.

Builds on breakout Pittman recorded three receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Packers.

Impact After breaking out in Week 10 thanks to commanding seven targets, Pittman showcased his big-play ability against the Packers. He did the majority of his damage on a short reception, after which he subsequently weaved through the opposing secondary to find the end zone for a 45-yard touchdown. His remaining two receptions went for a combined 21 yards, though Pittman continues to establish himself as a favorite target of Philip Rivers. Pittman will look to continue his breakout in a Week 12 matchup against the Titans.

Career-best numbers in win Pittman brought in seven of eight targets for 101 yards and rushed once for 21 yards in the Colts' 34-17 win over the Titans on Thursday night.

Impact The rookie was making his third appearance since a three-game stint on injured reserve due to a lower leg injury, and he turned in what was easily his best game yet as a pro. Pittman recorded a game-long 40-yard catch among his exploits while pacing all pass catchers on either club in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The 23-year-old's impressive size/speed combination was also on full display during his nifty 21-yard reverse in the second half, and he'll look to make even bigger contributions in what could turn out to be a Week 11 aerial shootout against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 22.

Four grabs in loss Pittman secured four of seven targets for 56 yards in the Colts' 24-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Impact Pittman was much more involved in his second game back from injured reserve, as he'd managed just one catch for six yards over 45 snaps Week 8. His receiving yardage led the Colts on the afternoon, while his reception tally tied for second with T.Y. Hilton (groin) out of action and Jack Doyle leaving the game in the first quarter with a concussion. Pittman will look to build on Sunday's improved numbers in a Thursday night Week 10 road battle versus the Titans, a game that both Hilton and Doyle could be hard-pressed to return for.
