Andrew Luck Struggles Against Philadelphia
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 25 of his 40 pass attempts for 164 yards and a touchdown in the team's 16-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He also added one rush for 33 yards, which was enough to lead the Colts in rushing yards on the day. It was a rough outing... Read More
Jack Doyle Doesn't Practice Thursday
Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip) remained sidelined on Thursday due to a hip injury he suffered in Week 2. Despite that Doyle dominating snap counts for the Colts tight end group is good for fantasy purposes, the wear and tear of constantly being on the field is putting his game-time status into question....

T.Y. Hilton Absent From Practice on Thursday
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quad) was absent from the team's Thursday practice while nursing a quad injury. Hilton draws a plus matchup in Week 3 against a Philadelphia Eagles squad that allowed big weeks for Julio Jones and Mike Evans, so his fantasy owners should be careful to monitor the wideout's status leading...

Marlon Mack Misses Consecutive Practices
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring, foot) missed the team's Thursday practice while dealing with various injury issues. This was the news that fantasy owners dreaded to hear, as it likely means he will be missing the Colts' Week 3 tilt with the Philadelphia Eagles barring a miraculous full Friday practice. Fellow backfield-mate Jordan... Read More
Eric Ebron Will Be Touchdown-Dependent in Week 3
Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron has clearly benefited from a change of scenery, catching a touchdown pass in each of his first two games as a Colt. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, he isn't involved in the offense nearly as much as he would need to be a weekly start. At the moment, Ebron has... Read More
Jack Doyle Still a Solid Option Against Philadelphia
Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle was largely an afterthought in the team's 21-9 victory over the Washington Redskins last week, but fantasy owners can expect more than two receptions from him in Week 3.

T.Y. Hilton a Must-Start Option in Week 3
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is coming off of a huge bounce-back game in which he caught seven passes for 83 yards and a touchdown and fantasy owners can expect his success to continue against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3.

Andrew Luck Likely to Struggle Against Philadelphia
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has slowly been returning to form over the first two weeks of the NFL season, but he draws a matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3 that fantasy owners should be extremely cautious of.

Jack Doyle Misses Practice With Hip Injury
Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip) was absent from the team's practice on Wednesday with a hip injury. While Doyle didn't appear to suffer any serious injuries in Week 2, the wear and tear of playing on 59 of the Colts' 61 offensive snaps likely contributed to him taking a rest day. Doyle gets... Read More
T.Y. Hilton Sits Out Practice With Quad Injury
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quad) sat out the team's Wednesday practice with a quad injury. Hilton is coming off a huge performance where he led the Colts in receiving yards and played on 55 of 61 offensive snaps, so his health is something to monitor throughout the week. There is no indication so... Read More
Marlon Mack Dealing With Hamstring, Foot Issues
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring, foot) missed practice Wednesday while dealing with two different injuries. Health continues to be a problem for Mack who in addition to re-aggravating a hamstring injury that forced him to miss much of training camp must have suffered a foot injury in last week's victory over the Washington... Read More
Marlon Mack, T.Y. Hilton, Jack Doyle Miss Practice
The Indianapolis Colts were without several players at practice on Wednesday. Running back Marlon Mack, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, and tight end Jack Doyle all were absent due to undisclosed reasons.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 3
I have already written A.J. Green an apology letter. After noting that I would "hesitantly" put the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver in the must-start category for last week's Thursday Night Football Matchups column due to the Baltimore Ravens' history of finding ways to keep him in check, he subtly responded by catching three touchdown passes...

Jack Doyle a Non-Factor in Week 2
Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle caught two passes for 20 yards in a 21-9 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

Fantasy owners weren't exactly impressed by both of Doyle's catches coming near... Read More
Ryan Grant Held To Two Catches in Revenge Game
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant caught two passes for 30 yards in the team's 21-9 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Grant failed to make much of an impact against his former team, as his name wasn't called on until the fourth quarter when the Colts were holding a significant lead. He finished... Read More

Lack of Routes a Concern for Eric Ebron Against Washington
Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron is likely a popular waiver pickup after scoring a big-play touchdown in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Read More
Jack Doyle Primed to Succeed in Week 2
Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle hauled in seven receptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 and should be targeted heavily against the Washington Redskins. Doyle led all tight ends in number of routes run last week and was a clear focal point of the offense with 10 targets from quarterback Andrew Luck. With... Read More
T.Y. Hilton Draws Tough Matchup Against Washington
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton will draw coverage from a top defensive back in the league when the team takes on the Washington Redskins in Week 2.

Volume Makes Andrew Luck a Solid Start in Week 2
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck made a glorious return to action against the Cincinnati Bengals, completing 39 passes for 319 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

Ryan Grant Practices in Full, Offers PPR Value in Week 2
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant (chest) practiced in full on Wednesday.

Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) is reportedly a "full go" for practice on Wednesday and "absolutely" expects to suit up when the team takes on the Washington Redskins in Week 2.

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 2
That was a disappointing opening Thursday game...
