John Simon Could Be A Waiver Target
The Los Angeles Rams sit 23rd in the waiver priority list. They currently have a severe lack of depth at outside linebacker. One of the most surprising cuts on cutdown day was the Indianapolis Colts choosing to let linebacker John Simon go. Simon was a good contributor on the edge last season, and he would... Read More
Le'Raven Clark Gives The Offensive Line Depth
The offensive line of the Indianapolis Colts has been a major weak point in past seasons. This was due to below-average starters, along with poor depth. While Le'Raven Clark has struggled in the past couple of years, he represents a veteran backup along the offensive line. After adding guard Quenton Nelson and others, they won't... Read More
Rams Defense Continues To Show Promise
The Los Angeles Rams defense took the field against the Oakland Raiders starting offense without two key components in defensive tackle Aaron Donald and linebacker Mark Barron. Despite these missing pieces, they showed they were a major threat to opposing offenses. When those pieces return, they'll be even more dangerous. LA's defensive unit will be... Read More
Dez Bryant Could Be A Colts Target
The Indianapolis Colts have no clear wide receiver strength behind T.Y. Hilton. Free-agent wideout Dez Bryant remains up for grabs, and he could be a great target for them. With a wealth of salary cap space still available, they could easily bring him into the fold. Despite his diminished athleticism, Bryant remains a great red-zone... Read More

Aaron Donald Rapidly Making Progress
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is arguably the best defensive player in the NFL.

He instantly upgrades their pass rush while increasing their ability to create turnovers. Fumbles... Read More
Malik Hooker Primed For Strong Return From Torn ACL
The Indianapolis Colts got a steal in safety Malik Hooker at 15th overall in the 2017 NFL draft. He was poised for a push at the Rookie Of the Year before a torn ACL cut his season short. In less than 10 months time, he looks ready to continue that quest up the safety ranks.... Read More
Aaron Donald Is Progressing, Just Not Fast Enough
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald has been progressing with the team to make him the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. However, despite this progress, he may still miss the start of the season. Head coach Sean McVay wants Donald to get at least a week or two of practice in before... Read More
Denzelle Good Week-To-Week With Knee Injury
The Indianapolis Colts offensive line has left much to be desired for quarterback Andrew Luck's entire career. Right tackle Denzelle Good (knee) is considered week-to-week with his most recent injury in his much-maligned career. While the Colts weren't considered to have a top-end offensive line, Good represents a significant upgrade over the players behind him on... Read More
Marlon Mack Will Be The Lead Back
The Indianapolis Colts have several running backs that will be fighting for carries next season. Per Stephen Holder of The Athletic, Marlon Mack is the unquestioned lead-dog if he is healthy. Mack lacks the ability to bowl over the majority of defenders, which suggests that players like Christine Michael and Jordan Wilkins could steal some... Read More
Todd Gurley Sitting Out Remainder Of Preseason
Los Angeles Rams' running back Todd Gurley will be sitting out the remainder of the preseason. While he may experience some rust at the start of the season, he will be healthy in Week One.

Chester Rogers Could Be A Late-Round Flier
Andrew Luck's return has Indianapolis Colts fans and coaches buzzing. While Jack Doyle and T.Y. Hilton are locked in as fantasy starters, there are some possible matchup plays littered around the roster. One of those matchup plays is wide receiver Chester Rogers. Rogers flashed some upside last season with Jacoby Brissett under center, but he was... Read More
Brandin Cooks Target Share Could Be Down
This offseason, the Los Angeles Rams traded for wide receiver Brandin Cooks. The former New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints receiver added to a budding receiving corps. While Cooks was presumed to be the featured target in this new offense, new information poses that might not be true after all. Robert Woods was the... Read More
Darius Leonard Stock On The Rise
Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard has quickly garnered favor with the Colts' coaching staff. His athleticism makes him a great fit in the modern NFL. If he is able to work on his coverage ability, he can be the team's linebacker of the future that they have been searching for. Last season, inside linebacker was... Read More
Aaron Donald Could Miss Start Of Season
After a flurry of offseason additions, the Los Angeles Rams defense has rapidly ascended up the rankings of fantasy defenses. A key piece of that is defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who continues his holdout. Per head coach Sean McVay, there is no end in sight, which could extend into the regular season. The Rams have... Read More
Mark Barron Returns To Practice
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron returned to practice. The former safety has excelled since converting to linebacker, and he is great in coverage. He flies around the field making tackles, which makes him a great play in IDP (individual defensive player) leagues. His return can also help soften the blow of Aaron Donald's absence... Read More
Nyheim Hines Stock Continues To Fall
Through two preseason games, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines continues to be his own worst enemy. He has fumbled four times in two games.

If you're hoping for Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley and quarterback Jared Goff to carry your fantasy team at the start of the season, you might have to have a backup plan.

End Eric Ebron Could Lower Jack Doyle's Value
The Indianapolis Colts added tight end Eric Ebron this offseason. The former first-round pick struggled to ever gain consistent traction with the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Andrew Luck has consistently done well with tight ends in the past. Both Coby Fleener and Jack Doyle developed into top-10 options at the tight end position with Luck under center. However,... Read More
Fade Nyheim Hines Of The Colts
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines has an outside shot of getting the starting job. However, he has struggled recently in training camp and the first bit of preseason action. Marlon Mack and Christine Michael are the veterans that will get the majority of the carries. Hines may be worthy of a late-round stash... Read More
Rams Defense Could Be Top-Five Unit
The Los Angeles Rams defense has a chance to be one of the top units in the NFL this season. With All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald, assuming he returns, in the middle clogging up the run and rushing the passer. Cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters will have a lot of opportunities to make plays.... Read More
Braden Smith Could Start At Right Tackle For Colts
The Indianapolis Colts drafted two rookies this offseason, and it's possible that both will be starters. The Colts run game has been next to non-existent in recent years.
