Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about the latest injuries to Anthony Richardson (oblique), Michael Pittman Jr. (back), and Jonathan Taylor (ankle).
Few teams in the NFL have been hit harder by the injury bug than the Colts. With their starting quarterback, running back, and wide receiver all in danger of missing Week 6’s game vs. the Titans, there’s a million different ways this offense could perform. As of now, Taylor has already been ruled out, Richardson ($6,000) is expected to play, and Pittman Jr. ($6,300) will “try to play through” his injury. In short, this is a tricky situation that will require plenty of monitoring over the weekend.
How should fantasy managers approach this uncertain Indianapolis offense? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) broke down the state of the Colts on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Steve and Meghan both wish it was Joe Flacco ($6,000) starting once again on Sunday. Second-year QB Richardson hasn’t had consistent chemistry with any of his wide receivers this season.
- For all their offensive shortcomings, the Tennessee defense is terrific against the run. That could spell trouble for Trey Sermon ($6,000) and Tyler Goodson ($5,400), especially with Richardson under center.
- Sermon performed well last week (18.3 DK fantasy points), but a rise in ownership means a loss of value this week. That, coupled with a difficult matchup, makes him a risky play.
