Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent TE Eric Ebron is not likely to return to the Colts, according to general manager Chris Ballard.
Huddle Up: The oft-injured Ebron had a 31-375-3 season in 11 games. He can still be a contributor, and he's just going to be 27 next season. Watch where he lands, and he could be a high-end TE2 option.

Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett is expected to be the starting quarterback in 2020, but general manager Chris Ballard doesn't rule out the possibility that could change. 'The jury's still out,' Ballard said.
Huddle Up: Brissett handled an impossible situation as well as anyone could with the sudden retirement of Andrew Luck. He threw for 2,942 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions in 15 games. He's going to be a QB2 in fantasy if he's still at the helm.

Indianapolis Colts WR Zach Pascal signed a one-year contract extension with the Colts Monday, Dec. 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Pascal become a solid option in the passing game for the Colts this season and finished with 607 yards and five touchdowns. He probably will compete for the No. 2 receiver job during training camp and could be a target in the late rounds of fantasy drafts next season.

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) told reporters Monday, Dec. 30, he played through a two-centimeter tear in his calf late in the season.
Huddle Up: Hilton has proved in back-to-back seasons that he is as tough as they come, playing through a high-ankle sprain for most of 2018 as well. However, even though his most recent injuries have nothing to do with his size, a player with his slight frame (5-foot-10, 183 pounds) is always going to be a bit more at risk for injury - especially after turning 30 years old. Fantasy owners should consider him a medium-risk WR2 in 2020 drafts.

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 27, but is not on the injury report for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Hilton has been held to only 51 yards in the two games since returning from injury but has been targeted 13 times during those games. He can still be a starting option in fantasy leagues, but players should not expect a breakout game.
Posted 12/27/2019 7:22 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Jordan Wilkins (ankle) on Friday, Dec. 27, was ruled out of Week 17.
Huddle Up: Wilkins has rushed for a TD in each of the last two games and is coming off a season-high 84 rushing yards in Week 16, but his absence means it will be the Marlon Mack /Nyheim Hines show in backfield Sunday in Jacksonville.

Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett has had his footwork affected by his knee injury, in the opinion of offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni, who says that Brissett's drops haven't been the same since the knee injury, which could affect his accuracy.
Huddle Up: Brissett has done little over the past month-plus, so the Colts certainly have to hope that there are underlying factors at work. It'll be interesting to see how the team approaches the quarterback position this offseason.

Indianapolis Colts WR Zach Pascal caught one pass for six yards in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Pascal has had a few good games this season, but every time you think he might be developing some consistency he lays another statistical egg. Keep him away from your lineup in Week 17.
Posted 12/22/2019 10:36 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts TE Jack Doyle finished with two grabs and 17 yards on four targets in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Doyle should be one of the top fantasy options in the Indianapolis pass offense, but he did next to nothing as the Colts kept it mostly on the ground. It's hard to trust Doyle for fantasy purposes of DFS heading into Week 17 in Jacksonville for the finale.
Posted 12/22/2019 10:35 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton posted three receptions for a team-high 26 yards on four targets in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Hilton led the team in receiving yards, catches and was tied for the high in targets, but that's not saying much. It was an ugly day for the pass game, and the Colts kept it on the ground frequently. Hilton will look to finish on a high note in Week 17 at Jacksonville.
Posted 12/22/2019 10:30 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Jordan Wilkins rushed nine times for 84 yards and a score in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Wilkins has found the end zone in each of the past two weekends. He'll look to finish up strong in Week 17 at Jacksonville, and isn't a bad low-cost DFS option for the finale.
Posted 12/22/2019 10:19 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett completed 14-of-27 passes for 119 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, although he did run for 37 yards and a score.
Huddle Up: Brissett didn't do much in the pass game, but at least he ran for the score to give fantasy owners something. He and the Colts will wrap up the season in Jacksonville in Week 17.
Posted 12/22/2019 10:16 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack rushed 16 times for a game-high 95 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 win against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: Mack, Jordan Wilkins and Jacoby Brissett each rushed for touchdowns in the blowout victory. Mack and the Colts will look to finish up strong in Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Northeast Florida.
Posted 12/22/2019 2:51 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said the team will proceed through the offseason as though retired QB Andrew Luck has no intentions of returning to football. As a result, the Colts are expected to be in the quarterback market and could select one in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Although incumbent QB Jacoby Brissett will receive $7 million in guaranteed money in 2020 and has an opportunity to earn an additional $8 million, his inconsistency could lead the club to look elsewhere for a viable solution under center. If Brissett begins next year as the Colts' No. 1 signal-caller, he should be viewed as no better than a high-end QB2 in any fantasy format unless the team can upgrade their receiving corps alongside T.Y. Hilton.
Posted 12/20/2019 11:10 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 20, but is not on the injury report for Week 16.
Huddle Up: Hilton returned to the lineup last week but finished with only 25 yards. He will have a more favorable matchup this week and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/18/2019 6:17 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) will see more snaps in Week 16 and 17 after he escaped aggravating his calf in Week 15, according to head coach Frank Reich.
Huddle Up: Hilton caught four of nine targets for 25 yards. The production wasn't great, but the nine targets in limited snaps were. Look for him to be a mid-to-low WR2 against the Carolina Panthers.
Posted 12/18/2019 1:43 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett is still the team's quarterback, according to head coach Frank Reich Tuesday, Dec. 17. Reich added that backup Chad Kelly won't receive reps over the final two games, barring injuries.
Huddle Up: Brissett got off to a tremendous start to the season, but he has failed to throw for a touchdown in two of the Colts' last four games. He'll be a high-end QB2 in 2020 drafts unless the Colts are able to significantly improve their receiving corps behind T.Y. Hilton.
Posted 12/17/2019 5:55 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts TE Jack Doyle registered two receptions for 21 yards on five targets in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: It was a big disappointment for Doyle and his fantasy owners, as the Indianapolis offense just couldn't get untracked. They'll look to do better in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. Doyle remains a low-end TE1 in leagues of 12 or more teams.
Posted 12/17/2019 4:45 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton posted four receptions for 25 yards on nine targets in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints in his return to the lineup.
Huddle Up: Hilton was back after a long-term calf injury, and despite the fact the Colts are now out of the playoff picture he was not shut down and returned to action. He is worth a look in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers as he looks to finish up strong.
Posted 12/17/2019 4:29 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR Zach Pascal posted four receptions for 44 yards on six targets in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: Pascal was the leading receiver, even with T.Y. Hilton back in action, but no one on the Indy offense was really popping from a fantasy perspective. Pascal remains more of a low-end WR4 or flex fantasy play in leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 16 against the visiting Carolina Panthers.
Posted 12/17/2019 4:27 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Jordan Wilkins rushed three times for 10 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints, while also adding a catch for seven yards. His score came in the final four minutes with the game well out of hand.
Huddle Up: Wilkins had the only score in an ugly overall game for the Colts offense. He will see limited touches, and therefore limited fantasy appeal, heading into Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers as long as Marlon Mack remains healthy.
Posted 12/17/2019 4:23 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack ran 11 times for just 19 yards in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday, Dec. 16.
Huddle Up: It was an ugly night for the New Orleans offense, as they Colts fell behind by a ton in the second half and the run game was no longer an option. He'll look to redeem himself in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers back in Indy.
Posted 12/17/2019 4:20 am UTC
Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett completed 18-of-34 passes for 165 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday, Dec. 16.
Huddle Up: The Colts were able to break the shutout late, but it was an ugly overall night for the Colts. Brissett was inaccurate, and a shootout under the dome never materialized. He'll look to bounce back in Week 16 against Carolina at home.
Posted 12/16/2019 2:54 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) remains a game-time decision Monday, Dec. 16, but he's trending up.
Huddle Up: Since the game is Monday night, it was a sizeable risk to save a spot for him. If you have, he'll be a high-end WR3 against the New Orleans Saints.
Posted 12/14/2019 8:50 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) didn't participate in practice Saturday, Dec. 14, and is officially listed as questionable for the game Monday, Dec. 16, against the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: Hilton's availability for the remainder of the season remains a question mark. He was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday but now seems like a true game-time decision. Fantasy managers with options from Sunday's games should go ahead and plug them in instead of taking the risk on Hilton.
Posted 12/14/2019 7:15 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) was a limited participant in practice Saturday, Dec. 14, and his status for Week 15 Monday, Dec. 16, in New Orleans will come down to a game-time decision, head coach Frank Reich said. Reich added that Hilton has put in 'good work' in practice, and if he plays he won't be on a pitch count.
Huddle Up: Hilton only has played in one game (three catches for 18 yards on six targets and 25 offensive snaps in Week 12) since Week 8, but this will be awfully tricky for Hilton's fantasy owners with the contest not until Monday night. If you're desperate to use Hilton, though, have a backup WR plan at the ready Monday in case he doesn't wind up playing.
Posted 12/12/2019 9:38 pm UTC
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) was officially limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 12.
Huddle Up: Hilton appears to have a chance to play in Week 15 but will be a risky option since the Colts play on Monday Night Football. Fantasy players should monitor the situation over the next few days to have a better idea of Hilton's status.
Posted 12/12/2019 5:25 pm UTC
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) is expected to be a limited participant in practice Thursday, Dec. 12, as the Colts return to the field. Head coach Frank Reich said the team plans to take it careful with Hilton, and he will play in Week 15 on Monday night only if the Colts feel he's 100 percent.
Huddle Up: Hilton has played in only one game with three receptions for 18 yards since Week 8, and it would be a nice early Christmas for his fantasy teams if he were able to return. That still seems like more of a longshot at this point, but we'll have to monitor Indy's practice reports over the next few days to get a better gauge.
