Mo Alie-Cox looking at expanded role

Sep 18, 2020

Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox is expected to start and fill the void left by injured TE Jack Doyle, according to Andrew Walker of Colts.com. Cox is expected to step in and help the offense not skip a beat from the tight end position. "We've got a lot of confidence in Mo," Colts head coach Frank Reich said. "He'll step right up and fill the role and play the role well."

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy players desperate for a tight end can look to Cox, but it is unclear how good he can be in an expanded role. Philip Rivers loves his tight ends in the passing game. Cox's upside is decent, but his floor is a goose egg.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
