Colts | Two return to practice squad Mon Dec 4, 06:35 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Tyler Goodson and WR DJ Montgomery reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Dec. 4, after being on the active roster for the Week 13 game.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs caught three passes for 14 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. He was targeted five times during the game.
Footballguys view: Alec Pierce was the bigger play among the secondary receivers, catching a long touchdown and a long ball to set up the game winning touchdown in overtime. Downs had been a staple in the pass offense earlier this year, and he had 13 targets last week (catching five), but he's not a sure thing in lineup against the Bengals next week. |
Indianapolis Colts TE Kylen Granson caught three passes for 72 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. He was targeted three times during the game.

Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce caught three passes for 100 yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. He was targeted six times during the game.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. caught 11 passes for 105 yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. He was targeted 16 times during the game.
Footballguys view: Pittman's biggest game of the year came at just the right time for the Colts and fantasy teams. The ailing Bengals defense is up next, which sets up Pittman to remain a solid WR1 for fantasy in Week 14. He has been one of the biggest values in fantasy drafts after fears about having a rookie running quarterback depressed his ADP. |
Indianapolis Colts RB Zack Moss rushed for 51 yards on 19 carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. He also caught two passes for six yards during the game.
Footballguys view: Moss was a dud in the first game after Jonathan Taylor's thumb injury, but the offense moved the ball well and should set him up for a better game against the Bengals next week. Moss should get at least one more start after that in Week 15 before Taylor returns to action. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (thumb) is expected to avoid injured reserve after having thumb surgery on Wednesday, Nov. 29, head coach Shane Steichen said.
Footballguys view: We hope you got Zack Moss on the waiver wire...or you might have kept him in deep-bench leagues. Taylor will be out of action for at least a couple of weeks, but it sounds like less than four weeks will be missed if he's not going on IR. That means Moss will be the lead back, and he's got RB1 upside for Fantasy GMs. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Trey Sermon will be the backup running back while RB Jonathan Taylor (thumb) is out, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
Footballguys view: Zack Moss is the lead back, and he's got RB1 upside for Fantasy GMs. Sermon has talent and instinct as a runner, and we'll see what he can do as the top reserve in the Colts' backfield. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (thumb) suffered a thumb injury in Week 12 that will require further evaluation and put his status in doubt.
Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to keep an eye on this situation and grab Zack Moss off the waiver wire if he's out there. Taylor did play about half of the game in Week 12 against the Buccaneers with this injury. However, a thumb injury could cause a multi-week injury and we're near the beginning of the fantasy playoffs. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor rushed 15 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was not targeted in the pass game.
Footballguys view: Taylor didn't have quite the dominance in the split between him and Zack Moss that we saw recently, but for fantasy he was still a force with a strong showing against a good run defense. The Colts have winnable games going forward, making Taylor a top five running back from here on out. |

Link to storyIndianapolis Colts QB Gardner Minshew went 18-for-28 for 194 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the New England Patriots in Week 10.
Footballguys view: Minshew created a few positive plays and his only interception improvising outside of structure, but didn't need to press the issue throwing downfield with the Patriots offense failing to find to find the end zone. After starting out as a high volume passer, Minshew has settled in as a low ceiling game manager. |
