Colts | Jack Doyle quiet in Week 3 win Sun Sep 24, 05:10 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Jack Doyle managed just two catches for 16 yards on five targets in Week 4 against the Browns. He also lost a fumble.
| Footballguys view: Doyle came up small in a matchup that yielded big numbers against tight ends over the first two weeks. Jacoby Brissett had a great connection with Doyle in Week 2, but it was TY Hilton with the big Week 3. Even if we don't play Doyle next week, he should stay on rosters with Andrew Luck due back soon. |

Colts | Donte Moncrief posted two catches Sun Sep 24, 05:10 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Donte Moncrief posted two receptions for 44 yards on three targets in Week 3 against the Browns.
| Footballguys view: Moncrief still hasn't had a good fantasy day this year, but the news that Andrew luck will likely be back in a few weeks makes him a nice waiver wire pickup heading into a tough matchup with Seattle. |

Colts | T.Y. Hilton goes off in Week 3 win Sun Sep 24, 05:09 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton racked up seven receptions for 153 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in the Week 3 win against Cleveland.
| Footballguys view: Hilton finally broke out against a suspect Browns defense. He'll be a much riskier play next week against Seattle, but Hilton's outlook is on the rise with Andrew Luck likely back in a few weeks. |

Colts | Frank Gore rushes 25 times in win Sun Sep 24, 05:09 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Frank Gore ran 25 times for 57 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Browns.
| Footballguys view: The Colts couldn't get their running game going, but Gore should get a bump when Andrew Luck comes back in the next few weeks. He was still a viable play today because of volume, but next week Gore will be on our benches against the Seahawks. |

Colts | Jacoby Brissett busy with his feet Sun Sep 24, 05:08 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett completed 17 of his 24 pass attempts for 259 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 3 against the Browns and he added five runs for 14 yards and two scores.
| Footballguys view: Maybe Brissett just needed some time to get familiar with the offense. The Browns are not one of the better defenses in the league, and Brissett will come back to earth against the Seahawks next week, but it looks like the Colts made a brilliant preseason trade acquiring him. |

Colts | Matt Jones joins active roster Fri Sep 22, 06:36 PM
Indianapolis Colts practice squad RB Matt Jones was signed to the active roster Friday, Sept. 22. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Jones has lots of physical talent, but lost his starting job in Washington because of fumbles last year. He's up this week because Marlon Mack is out. |

Colts | Frank Gore receives day off Thu Sep 21, 05:28 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Frank Gore (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 21.
| Footballguys view: Gore does not seem to be able to get yards, but at least had a touchdown last week. The whole offense is a wreck, so Gore's value is very low. He won't be someone you can rely on for anytime soon. |

Colts | Andrew Luck still not ready to practice Wed Sep 20, 01:16 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (shoulder) will not practice at all prior to the team's Week 3 game versus the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: It's going to be some time before we see Luck back on the practice field...let alone the playing field for the Colts. At this point, a return in Week 5 or Week 6 seems a bit outlandish. Perhaps something will hint towards which direction the team goes in the near future. |

Colts | Andrew Luck won't play this week Mon Sep 18, 04:36 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 3.
| Footballguys view: We should see Jacoby Brissett start again for the Colts. As we've seen over two games, the Colts skill position players should be downgraded while Luck continues to miss time. |

Colts | Jack Doyle perfect in Week 2 Sun Sep 17, 06:41 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Jack Doyle caught all eight of his passes for 79 yards in a 16-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 17.
| Footballguys view: Doyle clearly has chemistry with new quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Next week, he'll be a solid TE1 play against the Browns defense that couldn't contain Ben Watson. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett was 20-for-37 for 216 yards and one interception in a 16-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 17.
| Footballguys view: Brissett was good on third down early, but didn't generate enough offense to win. He's still clearly an improvement over Scott Tolzien heading into a winnable game against Cleveland. |

Indianapolis Colts CB Vontae Davis (groin) is 'ahead of schedule,' according to head coach Chuck Pagano, and participated in a limited practice Friday, Sept. 15.

Colts | Jacoby Brissett to start Fri Sep 15, 11:17 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett will start against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, according to a source.

Colts | Indianapolis QBs splitting reps Wed Sep 13, 01:24 PM
Indianapolis Colts QBs Jacoby Brissett and Scott Tolzien will share first-team reps this week until head coach Chuck Pagano named a starter for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy owners need to downgrade Colts skill position players, no matter who starts at quarterback. We'd like to see Brissett get the nod just to see how he looks as the lead QB entering a game. Brissett came in for an ineffective (duh) Scott Tolzien in Week 1. |

Colts | Matt Jones added to practice squad Tue Sep 12, 02:00 PM
Free-agent RB Matt Jones (Colts) was added to the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad on Tuesday, Sept. 12.
| Footballguys view: Jones is back with the Colts after spending six days on their roster after they picked him up off waivers when Washington released him. He's on the practice squad and something would have to happen to other RBs on the depth chart (Frank Gore, Robert Turbin, Marlon Mack) before he'd get the call up to the active roster. |

Colts | Andrew Luck to miss a few more weeks Mon Sep 11, 04:47 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (shoulder) will remain sidelined for several more weeks as he continues to nurse his surgically-repaired throwing shoulder, according to sources. His return to practice is expected to be sooner rather than later, however.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy owners will have to wait, and in the meantime all projections for Colts players have to be adjusted. We should see Jacoby Brissett start, and there's no clear player he prefers throwing to. The offense should design things for WR T.Y. Hilton to thrive, and Brissett could lean on a security blanket like TE Jack Doyle. |

Colts | Jacoby Brissett could be the starter Mon Sep 11, 08:30 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett marched the team 84 yards on five plays, which led to the only touchdown in Week 1 when he entered the game. He's likely the starting quarterback, in the opinion of beat writer Zak Keefer.
| Footballguys view: Anything is better than Scott Tolzien, right? Brissett was added via trade with the New England Patriots before the start of the regular season and he was thrust into action during the season opener against the Rams. The Colts are just waiting for Andrew Luck (shoulder) to be healthy enough to play, but his timeline is a great unknown at this time. |

Colts | Matt Jones not long for Indianapolis Sat Sep 9, 11:25 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB Matt Jones was waived Saturday, Sept. 9.
| Footballguys view: Jones fell out of favor with Washington, they tried to trade him - couldn't find any takers - so they released him. The Colts picked him up but evidently didn't like what they saw. Maybe the Bears (who put in a waiver claim for him last week) will give Jones another chance. |
