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.

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.

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.

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.

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) said the team's playoff eligibility won't be a factor on if he returns this season. 'I would never quit on my team,' Hilton said. 'I signed up for 16 games. Some guys may shut it down and call it quits. I don't do that.'

Huddle Up: We still view him on the wrong side of questionable to return this season. If he's able to, he'd be a WR2 option. Zach Pascal should be a WR3 in the interim.

Posted 12/09/2019 9:50 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) still has a chance to play this season even if the team is eliminated from playoff contention, according to head coach Frank Reich.

Huddle Up: Hilton has missed the last several games because of the calf injury and is uncertain for the final three games of the season. Fantasy players can monitor the situation but probably should look for other options and keep Hilton on the bench.

Posted 12/09/2019 8:48 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 9.

Huddle Up: It's unclear at the moment what happened to him in Week 14 to sideline him this time, but Campbell's body never gave him a chance to contribute meaningfully in 2019. His long-term outlook is still plenty bright. Hopefully, a full offseason will give him the rest and training necessary to withstand the rigors of an NFL season in 2020. He figures to be a high-upside late-round flier in 2020.

Adam Vinatieri - K

Posted 12/09/2019 3:45 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts PK Adam Vinatieri (knee) will undergo season-ending knee surgery and be placed on the Reserve/Injured list.

Huddle Up: He can be dropped in all leagues. Wait to see who the Colts bring in, and they could be a low-end option against the New Orleans Saints next Monday night.

Jack Doyle - TE

Posted 12/09/2019 1:33 am UTC

Indianapolis Colts TE Jack Doyle ended up with just two catches for 27 yards on six targets in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Doyle had a giant performance last week, but he fell back to Earth in this one and was a bit of a fantasy disappointment. He can still be a low-end TE1 heading into New Orleans in Week 15 on MNF.

Zach Pascal - WR

Posted 12/09/2019 1:24 am UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR Zach Pascal registered five grabs for 74 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Pascal did a good job as he and Marcus Johnson continue to pick up the slack with T.Y. Hilton on the mend due to a calf injury. Pascal has shown he can be a capable WR3 or flex fantasy option in most formats while Hilton is on the shelf.

Marcus Johnson - WR

Posted 12/09/2019 1:21 am UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR Marcus Johnson posted three receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Johnson and Zach Pascal were the top two receivers with T.Y. Hilton sidelined and the duo did a pretty decent job against Tampa's porous pass defense. Johnson will be a popular pick-up off the waiver wire this week, but he should only be considered as a WR5 heading into Week 15 at New Orleans.

Posted 12/09/2019 1:19 am UTC

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) ran 13 times for 38 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing in the stadium where he starred in college for South Florida.

Huddle Up: Mack didn't roll up huge yardage totals, but he had the score and he appears to be a decent fantasy option going into the Week 15 game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night since he suffered no apparent setbacks.

Jacoby Brissett - QB

Posted 12/09/2019 1:17 am UTC

Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett completed 19-of-36 passes for 251 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 14 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also ran for 26 yards.

Huddle Up: Brissett and the Colts face another favorable matchup for the pass game in New Orleans on Monday night in Week 15. He is a solid low-end QB1 for that favorable start.

Jack Doyle - TE

Posted 12/07/2019 1:43 am UTC

Indianapolis Colts TE Jack Doyle signed a three-year contract extension with the Colts Friday, Dec. 6, worth as much as $24 million, according to a source.

Huddle Up: Doyle has played well at times this season and has caught a touchdown in three of the last four games. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end against most opponents.

Posted 12/06/2019 11:13 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 6, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.

Huddle Up: Mack will return to the lineup after missing the last few games because of his fractured hand. He was one of the better running backs in the NFL before the injury and should receive plenty of carries this week. He can be a No. 2 running back in fantasy leagues.

Posted 12/06/2019 11:06 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 6, and has been ruled out for Week 14.

Huddle Up: There is no timetable for Hilton, so fantasy players should keep an eye on his status moving forward. Zach Pascal will continue to be the main option in the passing game and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Posted 12/06/2019 7:39 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (hand) is expected to return from the hand injury that has sidelined him for four games in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Owners just beginning their fantasy playoffs would have to be awfully desperate to consider starting Campbell, but there's a strong case to be made that he's a high-upside sleeper this week. The Buccaneers have been pummeled by slot receivers this season and the Colts have every reason to pepper him with touches given their current injury woes at receiver.

Adam Vinatieri - K

Posted 12/06/2019 7:27 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts PK Adam Vinatieri (knee) on Friday, Dec. 6, was ruled out of the team's Week 14 game with a knee injury.

Huddle Up: No surprise as we've been trending in this direction all week, and we might've seen the last of the struggling Vinatieri for this season and his Hall of Fame career. Newly-signed PK Chase McLaughlin will handle the kicking duties Sunday.

Posted 12/06/2019 7:09 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) is not expected to be on a pitch count in Week 14 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to head coach Frank Reich, who also indicated that he'll have all four of his running backs active for the game. The potential unlimited usage was probably what Mack's fantasy owners want to hear, although the idea that Reich is going to make all of his backs active - a rarity in today's NFL - makes him slightly less attractive for fantasy purposes, especially in a difficult matchup. Owners should have a more enticing flex option on the roster if they've survived the last couple of weeks without him.

Posted 12/05/2019 9:45 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 5.

Huddle Up: Hilton probably will not be able to play this week, so Zach Pascal will continue to be the top option in the passing game for the Colts. Pascal is coming off his second 100-yard game of the season and can be at least a flex option in all fantasy leagues.

Chase McLaughlin - K

Posted 12/05/2019 6:41 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts PK Chase McLaughlin is likely to serve as the team's kicker in Week 14 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with fellow PK Adam Vinatieri (knee) unlikely to play due to a knee injury.

Huddle Up: Kicker Alert as McLaughlin is poised to take over in Indy -- perhaps for the rest of the season. McLaughlin has hit all 15 of his extra-point attempts this season with the Chargers and 49ers but has missed four of nine field-goal attempts. Still, that's an improvement over Vinatieri's well-documented struggles.

Posted 12/04/2019 9:02 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (hand) practiced in full Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Huddle Up: Campbell hasn't played since Week 9, but he's primed for a big role down the stretch with WR T.Y. Hilton not guaranteed to play again in 2019. Campbell should be added wherever available.

Posted 12/04/2019 9:00 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) was limited in practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Huddle Up: It's an important step in the right direction for Mack. Jonathan Williams has been holding down the fort in his absence, but the Week 1 starter should return to a full workload as soon as he's able to take the field.

Posted 12/04/2019 8:57 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Huddle Up: Hilton has said he's not sure if he'll be able to play against this season after last suiting up against the Houston Texans in Week 12. Fantasy managers need to hold onto him but don't expect much at this point.

Posted 12/04/2019 6:32 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) is unsure he'll be able to return this year, but surgery isn't required. He won't practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Huddle Up: He can't be counted on to play this week. Zach Pascal had seven grabs for 109 yards last week, and he'll be a flex option against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Posted 12/04/2019 6:07 pm UTC

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) will practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Huddle Up: Mack figures to rumble against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which has been stout against opposing RBs the last five weeks. They've allowed one rushing score to them during the stretch. Mack is a high-end flex candidate.
