Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. led the team with 6 receptions and 96 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions. That accounted for 54.5% of QB Anthony Richardson's completions and 55.8% of his passing yardage for the game. It also marked just the second time all season that Pittman has exceeded 63 yards in a game this season.

Pittman tied Josh Downs for the team target lead in a game Downs left briefly in the fourth quarter.

It marked just the second time among the past six games that Pittman caught more than three balls, but those two games have come consecutively -- since Richardson's return to the lineup.

Week 13 holds a more favorable matchup with the Patriots, which should make Pittman a viable WR3 for fantasy. Indy's bye sits on the other side of that.
