Colts want to get T.Y. Hilton more involved

Sep 11, 2013

Colts HC Chuck Pagano: Coming out of Sunday, first thing coaches talked about was getting WR T.Y. Hilton more plays, touches.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a meeting that should have happened before the game. Hilton played 46% of Sunday's snaps after playing more than 57% of his team's snaps as a rookie in 2012. Still, it's good to hear that the Colts are aware of Hilton's talent and are actively trying to find ways to get him more involved.

The Indianapolis Colts today released wide receiver Darius Slayton.

Fantasy Impact:

It's fair to say Slayton can be dropped in even the deepest of Dynasty leagues after he failed to find the field on a WR-heavy Colts team. This is slightly more encouraging for Treadwell, who has received a surprising amount of usage.

Tyler Badie is OUT with a thumb injury

Related Players: J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman

Fantasy Impact:

If Badie misses Week 7, Harvey would become a more appealing PPR FLEX option with additional passing-down work available. Dobbins remains the stronger volume-based RB2 option after handling 20 touches Thursday. Coleman is also a stash candidate in most standard or deep leagues.

Raiders WR Jalen Nailor returns to limited practice Thursday

Jalen Nailor practiced on a limited basis Thursday, his first practice since suffering a concussion in Week 4 against Kansas City.

Fantasy Impact:

Nailor is worth monitoring in deeper leagues, but managers should wait for confirmed concussion clearance before considering him for a FLEX spot. His return would create more competition for the secondary receivers’ routes. Tucker remains the strongest Raiders WR option, while Bowers remains an elite TE1.
