Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 4, and is listed as questionable for Week 5.
Huddle Up: Richardson was a limited participant in all three practices this week but could be a game-time decision. He should be a starting option in fantasy leagues if he is cleared to play, but Joe Flacco could be an option in two-quarterback leagues if Richardson sits out.

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) did not practice for a third straight day on Friday, Oct. 4, and has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Huddle Up: As expected. Considering Taylor is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, he may not be ready to return in Week 6 either. Trey Sermon is expected to get the nod during his absence and handle most of the rushing work, while Tyler Goodson figures to see most of the snaps on passing downs.

Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: Richardson may be a game-time decision for the Week 5 game, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation over the next few days. He can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback if he plays, but players will need other options ready in case he sits out.

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 3.
Huddle Up: Taylor seemed upbeat about possibly playing through his high-ankle sprain, but the odds are against it. Even if he does play, high-ankle sprains are difficult to play through at any position - but especially at running back. Trey Sermon is the next man up for the Colts and has an outside shot of being a serviceable RB2 if Taylor sits. Tyler Goodson would likely handle most of the work on passing downs and could be used as a desperation flex play in deeper leagues.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, Oct. 2, head coach Shane Steichen said.
Huddle Up: No surprise, as Taylor is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that could sideline him multiple weeks. Trey Sermon will likely take over lead back duties but is expected to share work to some extent with Tyler Goodson. Still, Sermon is on the flex radar with bye weeks here.

Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique, abdomen) is dealing with oblique and abdominal strains but has a chance to be available for the Week 5 game, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor Richardson's practice participation during the week to see if he will be able to play in Week 5. He can be a low-end No. 1 fantasy quarterback if he plays, but players will need a backup plan ready in case he is ruled out.
Posted 9/30/2024 7:22 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (hip) was diagnosed with a hip pointer and isn't expected to miss much, if any, games, according to sources Monday, Sept. 30.
Huddle Up: Richardson could have returned after exiting in the first quarter, but the team decided to hold him out given they had a three-score lead. It's unclear if he will play in what is a fantastic matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he's able to practice in full at some point this week, he can be considered a risky QB1 option. If he can't go, Joe Flacco would be a fringe QB1 option as well for managers to turn to.

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is not considered a candidate to go on the short-term Reserve/Injured list, head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Monday, Sept. 30.
Huddle Up: This is good news for Taylor, who seemingly avoided a major injury, but there's certainly a chance he misses Week 5. If he does, Trey Sermon becomes a potential RB3 option, but he will likely split the backfield work with Tyler Goodson.

Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs registered eight receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: Downs made his season debut last week, but he was a little rusty. He fit right back in Sunday, and really jelled nicely with backup Joe Flacco, who came on for the injured Anthony Richardson. The pass offense was much better with the veteran under center. If Richardson's hip pointer keeps him out, Downs might be worth a look as a WR4 or flex fantasy option with Flacco under center in Week 5 at Jacksonville.
Posted 9/29/2024 11:47 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. posted six receptions for 113 yards and nine targets in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: Pittman seemed to come alive when Anthony Richardson left the game due to injury, replaced by Joe Flacco. The veteran backup and wideout had a nice rapport for the entire game, leading to Pittman's best statistical performance of the season. In fact, he had 88 receiving yards across his first three games. If Flacco gets the start in Week 5, Pittman could move into the low-end WR2 fantasy territory against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Posted 9/29/2024 11:44 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts RB Trey Sermon ran five times for just eight yards in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he was not targeted in the pass game.
Huddle Up: While Sermon didn't do much of anything, he could be a fantasy target in Week 5. Jonathan Taylor checked out of the game due to an ankle injury, and he was unable to return. If Taylor is forced to miss Week 5 at Jacksonville, Sermon could be pressed into a starting role while having some fantasy usefulness.
Posted 9/29/2024 5:58 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (hip) will not return to the Week 4 game because of his hip injury.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should receive an update on Richardson's status in the next day to two. Joe Flacco is in line to start if Richardson misses extended time but probably only be an option in two-quarterback leagues.
Posted 9/29/2024 1:41 am GMT
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce currently leads the NFL with 25.0 yards per reception, and he has caught a pass of 40-plus yards in two of the first three games.
Huddle Up: Pierce has scored twice and is averaging 75.0 yards per game, but with just nine receptions, he is an all-or-nothing fantasy option.
Posted 9/26/2024 2:36 am GMT
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson currently leads the NFL with six interceptions, and his passing yards and rushing yards have both decreased in each of the first three games.
Huddle Up: Richardson's rocket arm has produced some highlight throws, but he is struggling with turnovers and hasn't been running the ball effectively. His potential is undeniable, but Richardson needs to be stashed on the bench for the time being.
Posted 9/22/2024 11:13 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) made his season debut in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, finishing with three receptions for 22 yards on five targets.
Huddle Up: Downs is battling Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman Jr. for the eye of QB Anthony Richardson, who has been tremendously erratic. Unfortunately, it might take an injury to one of those other receivers before Downs has a meaningful role in the offense and any fantasy value.
Posted 9/22/2024 11:10 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. finished with four receptions for 36 yards on five targets in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: Pittman has consistently underachieved, going for four or fewer receptions with 36 or fewer receiving yards in all three of his games. He should only be treated as a WR4 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a difficult matchup.
Posted 9/22/2024 11:05 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce posted a 44-yard big gainer on his only reception on two targets in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: Pierce opened with 125 yards and a score in Week 1 against Houston, and he scored again in Week 2. This was easily his worst fantasy production, and the inconsistency of the Indianapolis pass game is what makes Pierce and other Colts receivers a risky play each weekend.
Posted 9/22/2024 11:01 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor rushed 23 times for 110 yards with two touchdowns in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, and he added a 25-yard reception on his lone catch on two targets.
Huddle Up: Taylor was the biggest reason why the Colts got the job done in Week 3, as the passing game was a disaster for the most part. It seems like old times again, as Taylor looks like a bona fide RB1 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 4, but he has a difficult matchup with the sturdy Pittsburgh Steelers defense coming to town.
Posted 9/22/2024 10:59 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson completed just 10-of-20 passes for 167 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, while running eight times for 24 yards.
Huddle Up: Richardson has a ton of athleticism, but if you can't read defenses and continually make miscues, it isn't going to end well. Oddly enough, the Colts got the win in Week 3, but that was because the run game was dominant. Richardson is inaccurate, and he cannot be trusted for fantasy purposes in Week 4 against the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers.
Posted 9/22/2024 3:54 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back, calf) will play in Week 3's game versus the Chicago Bears.
Huddle Up: Pittman had been placed on the injury report with a questionable designation Friday, Sept. 20, after missing that day's practice session. He should be viewed as a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/20/2024 8:27 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back, calf) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 20, and is listed as questionable for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Pittman was added to the injury report Friday, so he likely will be a game-time decision for the Week 3 game. He is a starting option in all leagues when healthy, but fantasy players will need other options ready in case he is ruled out.
Posted 9/20/2024 8:19 pm GMT
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 20, and is not on the injury report for Week 3.
Huddle Up: Downs is on track to make his season debut and may have a big role right away if Michael Pittman Jr. is not able to play. He should see some targets this week and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.
