Travis Henry Arrested Again

Colts coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that he cannot provide a timetable for Alec Pierce (heel) to return to practice. Pierce remains on injured reserve.

Pierce remains an IR stash, but managers without an available IR slot can consider moving on for immediate help. Allen and Downs remain Indianapolis’ preferred receiver FLEX options, while Warren stays in the TE1 conversation. Treadwell offers deeper-league appeal; Burks still needs a larger role before becoming a reliable lineup option, while everything would be turned on its head if Downs ends up moving by next week's trade deadline.

Jeremy McNichols is out for the season and facing potential surgery, as are Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw.

White remains Washington’s preferred RB2/FLEX option, while Ekeler becomes a more appealing PPR stash with additional complementary work available. Ekeler would need a larger receiving role to become a comfortable weekly FLEX. Henry is a deeper-league insurance option, with an opportunity to establish himself behind the two veterans.

Bucs back at practice — Emeka Egbuka is running on the side with a trainer today. No Yaya Diaby, as expected. Looks like everyone else on the 53 is practicing.

Related Players: Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst, Tez Johnson, Kameron Johnson, Cade Otton, Baker Mayfield

Managers should keep an alternative available for Egbuka ahead of Sunday night’s game at Chicago. If he remains out, Godwin would be a stronger PPR WR3/FLEX, while Hurst and Tez Johnson would retain deeper-league FLEX appeal. Otton would also become a more attractive tight end streamer. Side work alone does not establish that Egbuka is ready for his usual role.
