Indianapolis Colts (DEF, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

Owned in 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Not traditionally known for their stout defense, the playoff bound Colts are flying under the fantasy football radar for their defense's usefulness. Owned in way too few leagues as evidenced above, they are the featured Thursday night game this week on the road versus the slightly surprising Texans.

Although Houston has held their own thus far in 2014, their quarterback is extremely interception/turnover prone and they are 22nd in the league only averaging 338 total yards per game. To go along with that, they are also tied with Carolina for 23rd worst in points per game scored average (20.8) giving the Colts defense the slight edge in this Week 6 matchup.

Keep the Colts and their 9th ranked defense (based on Yahoo fantasy football scoring) on your fantasy watch list as a potential bye week fill in or streaming option; just don't expect them to be a must start option every week against tougher passing attacks.
