Colts | T.Y. Hilton limited Wed Dec 4, 04:11 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: Hilton has fallen off the map for fantasy owners. It's not him, or his quarterback Andrew Luck. We blame the decline on the boring and predictable offense of Pep Hamilton. Hilton is a WR3/flex option in Week 14 against the Bengals. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Dan Herron (pectoral) will be placed on Injured Reserve because of a torn pectoral muscle.
| Footballguys view: Look for the Colts to add some help at the running back position. They could even go after someone like Kerwynn Williams. He is on the Chargers practice squad right now, but Williams was with the team in camp after being a seventh-round pick for them in the 2013 NFL draft. |

Colts | Donald Brown dominates snap count Mon Dec 2, 10:05 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown played 49 of 65 offensive snaps in Week 13. RB Trent Richardson played just 13 snaps.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Trent Richardson was benched in favor of Brown. The entire Colts offense is not playing up to their potential right now. It's why OC Pep Hamilton is on the hot seat. |

Colts | Trent Richardson reacts to demotion Sun Dec 1, 09:04 PM
Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said Sunday, Dec. 1, that RB Trent Richardson was 'awesome' and 'a pro' about being demoted from the starting lineup for the Week 13 game against the Tennessee Titans in favor of RB Donald Brown. Richardson managed 19 yards on five carries.
| Footballguys view: Give him a gold star and some orange slices here. Richardson should not be happy with being benched. It's not a good sign if he's just accepted this demotion. We'd like to see more fight from Richardson. Don't give up on him in dynasty leagues, but in re-draft leagues he has no value. |

Colts | Donald Brown makes start Sun Dec 1, 09:03 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Donald Brown made his first start of the season in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. 'Donnie earned the opportunity the way he was working and running the football. Felt like, we're still going to use two backs, but earned the opportunity to get in there and that,' head coach Chuck Pagano said Sunday, Dec. 1. Brown finished with 54 rushing yards on 14 carries with a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Brown and the Colts offense stalled out in the Titans end of the field too often for him to have a bigger day. He should still be a solid RB2 play at Cincinnati next week. |

Colts | Adam Vinatieri has solid performance Sun Dec 1, 09:01 PM
Indianapolis Colts PK Adam Vinatieri converted all five of his field goal attempts in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans, and he added one extra point.

Vinatieri tied his career-high with the first field goals. Vinatieri also reached 100 points for the season, tying him for the most seasons (16) with 100 or more points. Former Denver Broncos PK Jason Elam also accomplished the feat.

| Footballguys view: Hilton has been disappointing over the last two weeks, catching 10 passes total for 82 yards and no touchdowns. He may not have a big day against the Titans 8th-ranked pass defense on Sunday. Start Hilton as a low end WR2 in Week 13. |

Colts | Da'Rick Rogers to make debut Wed Nov 27, 01:09 PM
Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said Wednesday, Nov. 27, that WR Da'Rick Rogers will make his team debut in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. 'He's going to get his shot,' Pagano said.
| Footballguys view: Rogers is an interesting player to monitor in super deep dynasty leagues. He has an intriguing size/speed combination. Off field and maturity issues caused him to get bounced from the University of Tennessee after finishing second in the SEC in touchdowns and catches as a sophomore. He finished out his college career with Tennessee Tech and was picked up by the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2013. |

| Footballguys view: The Colts are going to be more than fine here. Brazill has speed and big play ability in the open field. Herron lacks the speed of Brazill, but he can make defenders miss in space. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Trent Richardson (calf) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 22, and is listed as questionable for Week 12.

Colts | Sticking with RB rotation Fri Nov 22, 11:20 AM
The Indianapolis Colts do not plan to change their usage of their running backs, despite RB Trent Richardson's struggles and RB Donald Brown's success. 'We don't plan on changing our rotation with our backs,' offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said. 'We've always been a running back by committee bunch, so we're going to continue to do that.'
| Footballguys view: Brown is still obviously the better play, and the only one who should you even consider starting. If he continues to outperform Richardson, most games will look like the win over the Titans, with Brown getting the bulk of the work in the second half. |
