Colts | Indy adds Branden Oliver, Matt Hazel Sun Aug 12, 07:31 PM
Free-agent RB Branden Oliver (Chargers) and WR Matt Hazel (Browns) signed with the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, Aug. 12. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed. The team also placed WR Deon Cain (knee) on the Reserve/Injured list and waived WR Dres Anderson.
| Footballguys view: Oliver is a solid all-around back, but an achilles tear might have robbed him of his ceiling. Still, with the Colts backfield mostly banged up, it is worth tracking any competent back on the roster - even Christine Michael. |

Colts | Indy adds Ross Travis Tue Nov 28, 09:21 PM
The Indianapolis Colts claimed TE Ross Travis (Chiefs) off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday, Nov. 28. WR Matt Hazel was waived in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: Travis was undrafted out of Penn State in 2015. Prior to that time, he hadn't played organized football since his freshmen year in high school. Travis was a highly-touted basketball player as a prep and chose to play that as a collegian. A 6'7" 235 pound converted basketball player will always get our attention from a fantasy perspective but only in super deep dynasty leagues. |

Colts | Matt Jones scooped up by Indy Sun Sep 3, 12:54 PM
Free-agent RB Matt Jones (Redskins) was claimed off waivers by the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Sept. 3.
| Footballguys view: Jones is a physically-gifted big back who has the highest ceiling on the roster as an inside runner. This situation is greatly diminished as long as Andrew Luck is out, but after he returns, Jones could be the primary between-the-tackles backup to Frank Gore. Still, he would be in a three-way committee with Robert Turbin and Marlon Mack, so there's not much to see here beyond a chance to keep a pulse in dynasty leagues. |

Redskins | Washington sign three to futures deals Mon Jan 2, 06:25 PM
The Washington Redskins signed WR Matt Hazel, WR Kendal Thompson and TE Wes Saxton to Reserve/Futures contracts Monday, Jan. 2. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: A sixth-round pick (Dolphins) in 2014, Hazel has always been on our super deep dynasty radar. He's bounced around to three different teams in the pros, and now he has to find a way to stick on Washington's roster. Hazel is only 6'1" but he plays larger than his size and can snare difficult passes naturally away from his body. |

Dolphins | Make two roster moves Sat Dec 20, 03:30 PM
The Miami Dolphins promoted WR Matt Hazel to the active roster and released LB Jake Knott Saturday, Dec. 20.
| Footballguys view: Hazel is an interesting prospect to monitor in super deep dynasty leagues. The 2014 sixth-round pick out of Coastal Carolina plays larger than his size (6'1"). He has the speed to get downfield quickly, and Hazel has shown good concentration when tracking passes over his shoulder. |
