Colts not considering IR for RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle)

Mike Chappell on X

Steichen said Colts are not considering short-term IR for Jonathan Taylor.

Related players: Trey Sermon

Fantasy Impact:

Taylor suffered what is said to be a "minor" high ankle sprain in Week 4. There is no word on Taylor's status going forward but given it's still a high ankle sprain, his Week 5 availability is at least in question. Sermon should be picked up if not already owned as a Taylor owner. He'll likely be a hot commodity on this week's waiver wire.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor dealing with 'mild' high ankle sprain

Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, sources say, thought it’s believed to be a pretty mild version. Indy will get a full report tomorrow, but in the words of one source, “He’s ok.”

Related players: Trey Sermon, Tyler Goodson

Fantasy Impact:

There was nothing more in the post regarding a timetable but owners will want to monitor this situation, and we'll likely know more in the coming days. It's at least good news Taylor was said to be "ok" but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be ready to go in Week 5. With Anthony Richardson dealing with a hip injury, the Colts running game really took a hit in Week 4. Sermon is a must-add off the wire, especially if you're a Taylor owner. The Colts are at the Jags in an early game in Week 5 so owners will have time to adjust lineups.

Colts Beat: Trey Sermon favorite to be RB2

Who emerges as the No. 2 running back? On the early downs, Trey Sermon probably needs to be viewed as the favorite there, although a hamstring injury in the preseason opener opened the door for some valuable practice reps to the likes of Evan Hull and Tyler Goodson. The overall running back depth chart remains very much “in pencil” with Jonathan Taylor the obvious bellcow.

Fantasy Impact:

There aren't a lot of household names behind Taylor. Even though Hull was a rookie last year who missed most of the season, it looks like Sermon could open up as the backup to Taylor. Given Taylor has had his share of injuries over his career, targeting his handcuff late in drafts may be a good idea.

Colts Beat: Team likely to use three TE sets 'heavily' this season

Indy Star

Jul 22, 2024 · 4:07 PM EDT

Jelani Woods missed all of the 2023 season due to hamstring injuries, but he offers something none of the other tight ends have shown, an impressive size-speed combination that could make him a devastating downfield target.

Indianapolis will likely use at least three tight ends heavily on offense this season.

Related players: Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Adonai Mitchell, Alec Pierce, Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory, Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

Pittman and Downs are the team's top-two WRs with rookie Mitchell and Pierce also battling it out for time. Granson led the way at TE last year but as the story said Woods has the potential to bust out. The use of three TEs certainly indicates the Colts are going to be run-heavy this season. However, any of the team's TEs could be passing options as well in that formation, so the situation is worth monitoring this summer.
