Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings. He was sidelined all week after hurting his groin in last Friday’s practice. Will Mallory stepped in as Indianapolis’ primary pass-catching TE last week, registering a 72% route rate and 16% target share. But he’d be a desperation fantasy play vs. Minnesota’s sixth-ranked TE defense.
TE Will Mallory led his position in playing time for the Colts' loss to Tennessee on Sunday while drawing the team's third-most targets. Mallory got six looks but tallied only 2 catches for 21 yards. He watched TE Mo Alie-Cox snag Daniel Jones' only TD pass on Alie-Cox's lone target of the game. TE Pharaoh Brown added a 7-yard catch on his lone target (and lone route). TE Drew Ogletree nearly matched Alie-Cox in playing time, trailing him 12-9 in routes, but drew nary a target.
Colts TE Jelani Woods will have surgery this week to repair his turf toe and will be out "indefinitely," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Colts beat writer Nate Atkins believes “the upside is still extremely high" on TE Jelani Woods. The 25-year-old missed all of last season with a hamstring injury. Back healthy, Atkins points out Woods’ freakish athleticism and the opportunity awaiting him at TE.
Colts TE Jelani Woods dealt with recurring injuries to both hamstrings throughout last year. He hurt one last offseason and then the other when attempting to return during the season. He didn't play a single game in 2023. But Woods focused on strengthening his hamstrings, quads, and hips this offseason and believes he's solved the problem.
Colts TE Kylen Granson (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He's operated as the Colts' lead TE this season, registering a 62% route rate and 11.7% target share. Granson's absence leaves the Colts with TEs Andrew Ogletree, Will Mallory, and Mo-Alie Cox. Avoid the situation in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
Colts TE Kylen Granson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's unlikely to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. Granson leads Colts TEs in route rate (62%) and targets (26). His absence would free up work for TEs Andrew Ogletree, Will Mallory, and Mo-Alie Cox. But none of those guys would be bankable fantasy plays.
The Colts activated rookie TE Will Mallory from the PUP list on Monday. He missed time because of a foot injury, one that popped up at rookie minicamp. The 24-year-old is a dynasty long-shot.
