Colts S Julian Blackmon suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Wednesday's practice and will miss the rest of the season. Indy's 2nd-year starter at FS hasn't been a high-level IDP producer, but the injury takes away a player who as started 22 of the Colts' 23 games since he entered the league. Andrew Sendejo looks like the next man up. Indy lists him as Blackmon's backup on the "unofficial" depth chart, and Sendejo stepped in a couple of weeks ago when S Khari Willis missed time. Sendejo could present some low-level fantasy upside for deep IDP leagues.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He was limited in practice all week due to “a little fluid build-up” in that knee, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Taylor will also be without stud G Quenton Nelson today. See where he sits in the Week 4 RB Rankings.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (knee) is expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He had a little fluid build up in his knee, but it was more nagging than anything else," Rapoport adds. "He’ll be fine."

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins after a limited week of practice. We've heard nothing to suggest that Taylor is in danger of missing this one, but his status is worth checking on when inactives come out around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We've heard nothing to suggest that Taylor is in danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins, but check back tomorrow for another update on his situation.

The Colts went without several defensive starters in Wednesday's practice. LB Darius Leonard (ankle), DE Kwity Paye (hamstring), S Khari Willis (ankle, groin) and CB Rock Ya-Sin (ankle) all missed the workout. Leonard sustained his injury last week and missed Thursday's practice before playing through it at Tennessee. The other 3 left Sunday's game early. We'll see about the progress for each throughout the week.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. This is probably more of a rest day than anything else, but check back tomorrow for another update.

Colts DE Kwity Paye left Sunday's loss to the Titans early with a hamstring injury. He made it through just 10% of the defensive snaps before leaving. We'll see about Paye's outlook this week.

49ers RB Trey Sermon will "lead the way" and get the "bulk of carries" vs. the Packers tonight, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. We've heard the same from multiple 49ers beat writers. Sermon isn't the safest Week 3 fantasy play -- but he has loads of upside in a plus matchup.

49ers RB Trey Sermon (concussion) has been medically cleared and isn't listed on the final injury report. With RB JaMycal Hasty (ankle) out and RB Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) doubtful, it's currently Sermon, Trenton Cannon and Jacques Patrick at RB on San Francisco's active roster. RBs Kerryon Johnson and Chris Thompson are eligible to be activated from the practice squad. HC Kyle Shanahan wouldn't say Friday afternoon who will get the start vs. Green Bay, but multiple 49ers beat writers expect it to be Sermon. We'll continue to look for clues on how the touches will be divvied.

49ers RB Trey Sermon (concussion) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He still has multiple stages of the protocol to clear if he's to play vs. the Packers on Sunday night. We'll get another update on his progress tomorrow.

49ers RB Trey Sermon (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It means that he's made some progress through the league's protocol. If Sermon can get cleared in time for Sunday night's game vs. the Packers, the 49ers might be forced to give him a significant role.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Monday that RB Trey Sermon sustained a concussion in the win over the Eagles. It happened on Sermon's 1st carry of the game, which didn't come until the 4th quarter. We'll see when the rookie is cleared, but he's a ways away from fantasy relevance right now.

Colts S Khari Willis (illness) and DE Kwity Paye (hamstring) are active for today's game against the Rams. Willis makes for a solid start in this game. Paye sits well down our list of options on the D-line, though, and carries some risk with the hammy.

49ers RB Trey Sermon is active for today’s game against the Eagles. The rookie, of course, was a healthy scratch behind Raheem Mostert, Elijah Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty for the opener. Mostert is done for the season, but Mitchell, Hasty and Trenton Cannon are active today. Your guess as to how much work Sermon will receive is as good as our’s. Mitchell is expected to "carry the load," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Colts WR Michael Pittman (ankle) is active for today’s game against the Rams. He’s a shaky fantasy play vs. a defense that allowed the fewest fantasy points to WRs last year and limited the Bears WRs in this year’s opener. WR Parris Campbell (abdomen) is inactive.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Colts are "confident" WRs Michael PIttman (ankle) and Parris Campbell (abdomen) will play today against the Rams. Each will be tested in pre-game warm-ups to confirm his readiness, though. Neither ranks high among our Week 2 fantasy plays at the position.

Colts rookie DE Kwity Paye is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams. He sandwiched a missed Thursday practice between 2 limited workouts. We'll see about his status Sunday morning but wouldn't plan to use him in IDP lineups.

Colts WRs Michael Pittman (ankle) and Parris Campbell (abdomen) are questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. Both guys were added to the injury report and limited in Friday's practice. Campbell wasn't a fantasy option anyway after running a route on just 65% of pass plays in the opener. Pittman is also better off on fantasy benches this week at less than 100% and in a tough matchup.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that RB Trey Sermon will be active for Week 2. Sermon was a surprise healthy scratch for the opener after looking like a top 2 RB on the depth chart throughout the offseason. But with RB Raheem Mostert out for the season, San Francisco is down to Sermon, Elijah Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty on the active roster. (Plus Kerryon Johnson on the practice squad.) Of course, it remains to be seen how touches will be divvied among those guys. Sermon would be a risky Week 2 fantasy play -- but he should certainly remain on rosters.
