Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack and the running game will continue to 'define' the offense, according to head coach Frank Reich.
Huddle Up: Mack bounced back from an ankle injury to rush 29 times for 132 yards in a win over Kansas City last weekend. The Colts have a bye in Week 6, but Mack will offer a safe floor as a volume-based RB2 against the Houston Texans in Week 7.

Indianapolis Colts TE Eric Ebron hauled in one of his two targets for eight yards in Week 5 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Touchdown regression was sure to strike this year after scoring 14 times in 2018, but perhaps no one has felt the transition from Andrew Luck to Jacoby Brissett more than Ebron has. While the 26-year-old has scored twice this season, he has also finished with one catch three times and failed to top 50 yards. Ebron figures to remain a TE2 for the foreseeable future after the Colts return from their bye in Week 7 against the Houston Texans.

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton managed four catches on five targets for only 37 yards in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: There was a bit of doubt as to whether or not Hilton was going to be able to play through a quad injury. So while that may have played a bit of a role into his lack of production, he also didn't look like he was completely healthy either. It ended up not making much of a difference, however, as the running game and defense carried the day. The team's Week 6 bye comes at a good time for Hilton, who will return from a week off to torment his personal punching bag - the Houston Texans.

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack carried 29 times for 132 yards and added three receptions for 16 more yards in Week 5 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Mack showed no ill effects from the ankle injury that had him being a game-time decision, breaking loose for a 30-yard run early in the game. He showed impressive patience and tackle-breaking ability throughout the night as well. While he will continue to give up reps in the passing game to Nyheim Hines, it's clear head coach Frank Reich wants him to carry the load. Mack will be a solid RB2 against the Houston Texans following the Colts' bye in Week 6.

Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett finished 18-of-29 for 151 yards and an interception in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He added six carries for nine yards and a touchdown.
Huddle Up: It's the first time Brissett has accounted for fewer than two touchdowns all season, although it was understandable in this contest with the running game doing the heavy lifting. Brissett staked Indianapolis to an early lead with a one-yard TD run in the first quarter before failing to locate Tyrann Mathieu on an interception to end a potential scoring drive midway through the second period. Expect a solid rebound performance in Week 6 versus the Houston Texans.

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (ankle) is considered a game-time decision for Week 5's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Mack was listed as questionable on the injury report but appears to have a good chance at playing versus the Chiefs because he was able to complete a full practice session Friday, Oct. 4. Mack can be a solid RB2 option if he receives his normal workload.
Posted 10/06/2019 12:10 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) is expected to play in Week 5's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Hilton was listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in two of the team's three practice sessions during the week on a limited basis. When healthy, he should be viewed as a must-start option in all fantasy formats but there is a slight risk to starting him this week because the Colts don't play until Sunday night.
Posted 10/04/2019 9:54 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 4, but is listed as questionable for Week 5.
Huddle Up: Mack appears to have a good chance to play this week because of the full practice, but fantasy players will need to check the inactive list. He should be a solid No. 2 running back in fantasy leagues if he receives his normal workload.
Posted 10/04/2019 9:53 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 4, and is listed as questionable for Week 5.
Huddle Up: Hilton was limited the last two days and could be a game-time decision for Week 5. He is a must-start fantasy option when he is healthy, but fantasy players should have other options available in case he is ruled out.
Posted 10/04/2019 6:27 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (abdominal) recently underwent a procedure to address his abdominal injury. He has been ruled out for Week 5 and there is no timetable yet for his return.
Huddle Up: It's been a rough rookie year for Campbell, who also had multiple setbacks with his hamstring during the preseason. While it's possible he'll make his expected splash later this year, it's just as possible he plays more of a specialty role in 2019. Campbell can be dropped in more shallow leagues, especially now with T.Y. Hilton set to return.
Posted 10/04/2019 12:05 am UTC
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: Hilton appears to have a chance to play in Week 5, but fantasy players will need to monitor the situation. Hilton should be a starting option if he plays against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Posted 10/03/2019 6:17 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) was participating in practice Thursday, Oct. 3
Huddle Up: This is what we need to see after Hilton missed Week 4 and practice Wednesday. See if he keeps trending the right way over the next few days toward a WR2 start against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5.
Posted 10/03/2019 6:08 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (ankle) was unable to practice for a second straight day Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: Mack might be on the same schedule as he was last week when he was battling a calf injury. Last week, he got some work in Friday and ultimately played. Obviously, we'll get a better idea tomorrow if he is a realistic option in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. It would make sense for the Colts to sit him considering the team is headed into their bye next week. If he doesn't play, Jordan Wilkins would most likely handle his early-down workload and be a serviceable flex option.
Posted 10/02/2019 7:55 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (abdominal) didn't practice Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Huddle Up: Campbell started in place of T.Y. Hilton last week against the Oakland Raiders and caught five of eight targets but for just 25 yards. He's a stash in deeper keeper leagues with little appeal in redraft formats.
Posted 10/02/2019 7:30 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Huddle Up: Mack left last week's game against the Oakland Raiders after rushing 11 times for just 39 yards. His usage and productivity have been declining week-by-week. Nyheim Hines is next in line for work in what's likely to be a high-scoring game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.
Posted 10/02/2019 4:48 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) is out of practice Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Huddle Up: Hilton would have a decent matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs if he's able to go. Hilton would be a solid WR2 if he's without limitations.
Posted 10/01/2019 2:30 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (abdominal) left the Week 4 game against the Oakland Raiders early, and head coach Frank Reich said Monday, Sept. 30 that the rookie would be monitored throughout the practice week.
Huddle Up: Campbell had a season-high five receptions, eight targets and 25 yards, but he still has a long way to go before he is worth using outside of the deepest fantasy leagues.
Posted 10/01/2019 2:26 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (ankle) was not medically ruled out during the second half of the Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts. However, head coach Frank Reich explained that the offense was in hurry-up mode and that it is typically RB Nyheim Hines' role.
Huddle Up: Fantasy owners weren't thrilled with Mack's overall line, which saw the back post just 39 rushing yards on 11 attempts with no receptions. He'll look to rebound in Week 5 on Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Posted 9/30/2019 1:33 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts TE Eric Ebron caught one of his five targets for a 48-yard touchdown in a 31-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 4.
Huddle Up: Ebron has yet to record more than three catches or top 50 yards in a game this year, and he has become a touchdown-dependent TE2 without Andrew Luck under center.
Posted 9/30/2019 1:30 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR Chester Rogers caught three of his six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in a 31-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 4.
Huddle Up: Rogers entered the game with three catches for 24 yards in the first three games, and even if T.Y. Hilton remains sidelined, Rogers isn't a viable fantasy option.
Posted 9/30/2019 1:26 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR Zach Pascal caught four of his seven targets for a team-high 72 yards in a 31-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 4.
Huddle Up: With T.Y. Hilton sidelined, Pascal was the most effective weapon for the Indianapolis passing attack. His long-term value is limited, but he could be a DFS sleeper as long as Hilton remains out of action.
Posted 9/30/2019 1:23 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett completed 24 of his 46 passes for 265 yards, three touchdowns and an interceptions and rushed five times for 19 yards in a 31-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 4.
Huddle Up: It wasn't Brissett's most efficient performance, but he has thrown multiple touchdowns in all four games this year. He's a solid QB2 option.
Posted 9/30/2019 1:18 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts LB Anthony Walker recorded 10 tackles, including seven solo stops, and a sack in a 31-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 4, and he has logged 25 tackles in the two games LB Darius Leonard (concussion) has missed.
Huddle Up: As long as Leonard remains sidelined, Walker could be a sneaky IDP options for fantasy owners.
Posted 9/30/2019 1:05 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (ankle) did not return to the Week 4 game against the Oakland Raiders after suffering an ankle injury. He finished with 11 carries for 39 yards.
Huddle Up: If Mack is forced to miss time, Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines will likely split touches. Hines' involvement in the passing game makes him the safer option of the two, especially in PPR formats.
Posted 9/29/2019 2:49 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) is not expected to play in Week 4's game against the Oakland Raiders.
Huddle Up: Hilton did not practice at all during the week and was listed as doubtful on the injury report. However, he played in four contests last season without having practiced during the week leading up to the games, so fantasy owners should continue to closely monitor this situation. When active, Hilton should be regarded as a must-start option in all formats.
Posted 9/27/2019 11:54 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 27, and is listed as doubtful for Week 4.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to check the inactive list to make sure Hilton will not play this week. Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron may both receive more targets if Hilton is ruled out and could both be starting fantasy options.
Posted 9/27/2019 5:54 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 27, and will be listed as questionable for the team's Week 4 game against the Oakland Raiders.
Huddle Up: Hilton is certainly iffy after missing practice all week, but as one Colts beat reporter noted, Hilton played four times late last season without practicing at all during the week. Just have another WR at the ready in case Hilton is ruled out during pregame Sunday.
Posted 9/27/2019 5:51 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts LB Darius Leonard (concussion) on Friday, Sept. 27, was ruled out for Week 4 with a concussion.
Huddle Up: IDP alert as the Indy tackling machine will miss his second straight game.
