Top NFL DFS picks for Colts vs. Steelers on MNF
One of Kaylor’s top DFS picks for the Pittsburgh vs. Indianapolis MNF game is Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. In Saturday’s two games as head coach, Pittman was targeted 16 times, which has resulted in 13 catches for 128 yards. Kaylor expects that trend to continue, with Pittman having one of his best games of the season on Monday Night Football.
“Michael Pittman has obvious chemistry with quarterback Matt Ryan and he’s seen his role in the Indianapolis offense increase since Jeff Saturday took over as head coach. I expect that let it continue on Monday night when the Colts face the Steelers, who have one of the worst pass defenses in the league, giving up 272.1 yards per game through the air.I project a floor of seven receptions for 85 yards for Pittman on MNF,” Kaylor told SportsLine.
