Fantasy impact: Fitzgerald caught both of his touchdown passes in the first half of the game. It’s too bad he couldn’t catch a few more passes, fantasy owners probably thought he had a third score in him against a Colts secondary that isn’t the greatest.
Fitzgerald’s multi-touchdown game was his second of the season and his first since Week 1. He’s not necessarily putting up the yardage totals fantasy owners have become accustomed to over the last few years.
Teammate Michael Floyd seems to be putting up bigger yardage totals of late and he’s able to get open down field more effectively than Fitzgerald. That’s not a knock on Larry. After all, he’s always guaranteed to face the other team’s best cornerback and face double coverage when called upon.
At the end of the day regardless of the yardage total, two touchdowns is nothing to sneeze at and fantasy owners should be satisfied with that.
