Is Michael Pittman Jr. playing today? Why Colts WR is off to slow start in Week 10

Michael Pittman Jr. is in the midst of resurgent season with the Indianapolis Colts going into the Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Pittman is the Colts' leading receiver with 561 yards and six touchdowns in nine contests, and he's on pace to break his career-high of 1,152 yards, which he had totaled in 2023.

However, Pittman Jr. is off to a slow start in Week 10 against the Falcons. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Michael Pittman Jr. playing today?

Yes, Pittman Jr. is playing today, he just hasn't been targeted through one drive.

Instead, quarterback Daniel Jones targeted running back Jonathan Taylor, tight ends Tyler Warren and Mo Alie-Cox and wide receivers Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, with  Jones completing passes to Taylor, Warren and Pierce.

Pittman shouldn't be quiet for long, though.
