Michael

Pittman

Deep league players should not forget about Pittman. He led NFC running backs in receptions last year and will only be a Charlie Garner injury away from consistent production. He’s worth stashing if you have room.

Pittman’s burgeoning fantasy value continues to grow. He’s a decent RB2/Flex option, even in non-ppr leagues.

They expect him to play in Tampa’s next game. But the Bucs will look for running back help to share the load with Pittman. Jamel White has been a disappoinment.

Owners in dynasty leagues should be happy. Pittman is averaging 4.6 yards-per-carry and has set his career high with six touchdowns. Charlie Garner’s future in the NFL is in doubt.

Pittman could have a tough time running against the Chargers, and might yield more carries to Mike Alstott, though he should be good for some catches out of the backfield.

Pittman is scheduled for sentencing on April 23. It’s unclear where Pittman fits with Tampa with the signings of Charlie Garner, Jamel White, and Brandon Bennett. He will likely face a suspension from the NFL.

Pittman is facing possible jail time stemming from a count of endangerment and breaking his probation. The Bucs signings of Charlie Garner and Jamel White should cushion Pittman’s absence.

He’s likely to get a multigame suspension if this happens. If no agreement is reached today, he will stand trial Monday on two felony counts of aggravated assault and one felony count of aggravated domestic violence.

He’ll be out in 14 days with good behavior after pleading guilty to a count of endangerment. He is likely to receive a suspension from the league and will be a complementary part in Tampa this season.

He served two weeks after pleading guilty to a count of endangerment. He is a late-round gamble this season because of his impending suspension (4-12 games?), not to mention he’ll return to a backfield filled with Charlie Garner and Mike Alstott. We don’t recommend him.
