Speaking of young players who had a great 2021, but fell below standards in 2022, Michael Pittman Jr. is hoping to return to his best form in 2023. The 26-year-old went from 16th (148.6) in fantasy points in 2021 to 27th (119.5) in 2022. The Colts went through a trio of quarterbacks and Pittman set career highs in targets (141) and receptions (99) in 2022, but he averaged just 9.3 yards per catch compared to his 12.3 the year prior. He struggled to get loose in the open field as the Colts focused on the short-to-intermediate passing game.
The addition of Steichen and Anthony Richardson should hopefully change these issues as the rookie QB has arguably the strongest arm in the class and the new head coach developed one of the best receiving duos in the NFL last season in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Pittman has shown in the past that he's capable of running all the routes. With the help of Richardson and Steichen, he can return to form and finish the season as a top-25 receiver in the low-end WR2 range or as a high-end FLEX option.

 Anthony Richardson likely to miss a month?
Potential Grade 3 AC joint sprain
By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 9, 3:30 pm
|  | Sources: #Colts starting QB Anthony Richardson received an initial diagnosis of a Grade 3 AC joint sprain, which would mean he’d miss a month or more. He has an MRI this morning to confirm.
Either way, it’s likely Gardner Minshew next week and moving forward. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: This was always the danger is putting faith into Richardson, who is an athletic marvel and built to last but a bit too reckless with his body at this point of his career. If the diagnosis ends up being confirmed, he will almost certainly land on IR and miss at least four games. Minshew, who has already been named the starter for Week 6 versus the Jags, is a more than capable veteran who will ensure Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs remain solid fantasy starts most weeks.
