Colts | Alec Pierce looking good Fri Dec 19, 03:52 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (Achilles) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 19.
| Footballguys view: In his first game with Philip Rivers, Pierce managed just one catch for 16 yards. Rivers demonstrated the ability to diagnose defenses and find open receivers, but his arm clearly lacked strength. Pierce's role as a downfield receiver makes for a poor fit with a noodle-armed quarterback. Based on last week's performance, it is difficult to consider starting him. |
Colts | Josh Downs practicing fully Fri Dec 19, 03:47 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (personal) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 19.
| Footballguys view: Downs' role as a short-distance player who receives manufactured touches could make for a sneaky matchup with Philip Rivers. Downs caught Rivers' only touchdown last week. He is in the WR4 tier but offers more upside than most other players in that range. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson's practice window opens Thu Dec 18, 12:17 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (eye) had his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Shane Steichen said Richardson still has some vision limitations and isn't 100% cleared. Expect the Colts to roll with Philip Rivers as their starter and Riley Leonard as their backup. Richardson may not be ready to play for another few weeks. |

Indianapolis Colts WR Coleman Owen reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Dec. 15, after being on the active roster for the Week 15 game.
Link to story Colts | Anthony Richardson cleared to resume football activities Mon Dec 15, 03:09 PM
According to multiple reports, Anthony Richardson has been cleared to resume football activities. Richardson has been out since fracturing an orbital bone while working out ahead of Indianapolis' Week 6 game against the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: The Colts have not formally designated Richardson for return from injured reserve at this point, and they haven't announced if they plan to do so this week, but that would be a necessary step to get him back into practice. The move would create a 21-day window for Richardson to work out with the team, and that would run through the end of the regular season. Meanwhile, the Colts coaxed Philip Rivers out of retirement last week, and head coach Shane Steichen has already announced that Rivers will start against the 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 16. |

Colts | Philip Rivers to remain starter Mon Dec 15, 02:20 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers will be the starting quarterback for the Colts in Week 16, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: While Rivers threw a touchdown against the Seahawks Sunday -- in his first game action in five years, he also threw an interception and only managed to produce 120 passing yards and 6.3 fantasy points on the day. Things should get better as Rivers gets back into game shape, but SI.com's Nick Raducanu believes fantasy investors should be worried about Jonathan Taylor as defenses stack the box even more than they already were. The Colts play the 49erss this week. |

| Footballguys view: Rivers is going to start for the Colts in Week 15 against the Seahawks. Expect a healthy dose of Jonathan Taylor in this matchup. Riley Leonard may have some packages as the backup to Rivers. |

Colts | Riley Leonard could see some playing time in Week 15 Sat Dec 13, 12:06 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Riley Leonard (knee) could see some playing time in Week 15's game versus the Seattle Seahawks, even though QB Philip Rivers has been named the starting quarterback, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Who knows what Rivers is going to look like in his first game back in five seasons. That means the Colts will have Leonard ready for at least some packages if not completely taking over if things look disastrous with the 44-year old quarterback. Fantasy GMs should not be counting on Rivers, and temper expectations for the entire offense in Week 15 (and beyond). |

Colts | Philip Rivers to start Week 15's game Sat Dec 13, 11:50 AM
The Indianapolis Colts will elevate QB Philip Rivers from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dec. 13, and he will start Week 15's game versus the Seattle Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: Everyone is going to be watching to see how much Rivers can still look like his old self. This is his first game action since January of 2021, so we're keeping our expectations low. The Colts see him as a better option due to his familiarity with Shane Steichen's offense, even though Riley Leonard (knee) practiced fully this week. |

Colts | Alec Pierce will play in Week 15 Fri Dec 12, 03:53 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (rib) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 12, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Pierce's role has grown significantly, and he's been a steady WR3 all season. He's a bit riskier than usual this week, facing a tough opponent and losing Daniel Jones. We recommend benching him where possible and hoping he shows enough to feel confident starting him again in Week 16. |
Colts | Josh Downs cleared for Week 15 Fri Dec 12, 03:44 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 12, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Downs is typically third or fourth on the team in targets, making him a risky start on any given week. Considering the difficult matchup against the Seahawks and the possibility of 44-year-old Philip Rivers starting, he falls outside our top 60 wide receivers this week. |
