    Keenan Allen (rest/groin) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

    Two straight practices, albeit limited ones, should put Allen on the right side of questionable on Friday barring something new popping up. Allen will be an unexciting FLEX play against the Steelers in Week 5 if active.

    Allen was second on the team in targets while leading in receptions and yards against the Vikings. He saw just 30 snaps but operated as a quick release valve over the middle of the field for Daniel Jones against a blitz-happy Vikings defense. In an otherwise low-volume day, Allen had another game with a high share of the Colts’ receiving output. He will be in the WR3 ranks ahead of a Week 8 matchup against the Jaguars.
  • IND Wide Receiver #10
    Each of Allen’s targets, receptions and receiving yards were new personal bests for his embryonic Colts career. Allen is doing what he’s supposed to be doing in Indy, but that’s not true for many of his teammates. Then again, we don’t really care in fantasy football, as Allen’s WR3 checks are clearing all the same. Allen’s short-area looks will be in high demand in Week 7 as Daniel Jones tries to survive the Vikings’ onslaught of blitzes.
  • IND Wide Receiver #10
    Allen did not play a full complement of snaps in his first week back from a groin injury. He played 32 of the team’s 71 snaps and ran a route on 28 of their 47 dropbacks. That makes him leading the team with nine targets even more impressive. Of course, the Colts were forced to throw almost 50 times because the Steelers made it a priority to contain Jonathan Taylor. It’s highly unlikely Daniel Jones throws that much going forward, but Allen remains the top target in the offense. The issue is that most of his targets are in the short-yardage areas of the field, so he is more of a fringe-FLEX option unless you’re in a full PPR league. Next week against the Titans is a good matchup for the Colts, though.

    Allen got in a full practice on Friday, so he seemed to be trending towards being active, but now we know for sure. With Jamel Dean out this week and Joey Porter Jr. now in Dallas, the Colts’ passing game gets a slight bump, which is good news for Daniel Jones, who really needs to get back on track. The Colts inactives are: LB Jaylon Carlies, WR Ashton Dulin, QB Riley Leonard, WR Darius Slayton, and G Dalton Tucker.
  • IND Wide Receiver #10
    Allen missed Week 4 with the groin issue but returned to practice this week and even managed a full session on Friday. The team still listed him as questionable, though he appeared to be on the right side of that designation heading into the weekend. Allen will be a low-ceiling WR4 for his date with the Steelers.
  • IND Wide Receiver #10
    He did upgrade to a full practice today so he’s at least likely on the optimistic side of questionable. Still, we were hoping he’d be cleared off the line entirely today, so it does give us a little hesitation that he could practice all three times this week, including one full, and still be questionable. The Colts don’t really have much else behind him.
  • IND Wide Receiver #10
    Allen suffered a groin injury in practice last week and was unable to play in Week 4 against the Commanders. His early-week return puts him on track to play in Week 5 against the Steelers, but he can likely only be viewed as a touchdown-dependent FLEX at this time.
  • IND Wide Receiver #10
    Allen was limited in practice throughout the week and listed as questionable. Now he’s been ruled out for Week 4 against the Commanders. Josh Downs is locked in as the Colts top wide receiver this week and Tyler Warren should also see a boost in value with Allen sidelined.
  • IND Wide Receiver #10
    This one went under the radar. Allen was limited on Wednesday with a “rest” designation. He remained limited on Thursday, but the Colts tacked a groin injury next to his name while maintaining the “rest” designation and hope for a Week 4 appearance along the way. Allen was downgraded on Friday, unable to practice, and should be considered truly questionable to face the Commanders this week. Were he to sit, No. 1 wide receiver Josh Downs would get a helpful target share boost.
  • IND Wide Receiver #10
    His touchdown was the kind of touchdown Allen has been making for years, creating just enough space in front of a zone linebacker in the red zone for the catch-and-run score. Nine targets will play in a Shane Steichen offense, even if we don’t think there’s a lot left in the Allen reserve tanks at this stage of his career. Allen is on the FLEX radar against the Commanders in Week 4.

    Michael Wilson (ribs) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Wilson was on the practice field wearing a non-contact jersey on Wednesday. He is dealing with a rib injury, presumably suffered in the Cardinals’ Week 7 loss to the Broncos. He will be limited as long as he wears the non-contact jersey and ideally finishes the week without it in order to play in Week 8 against the Cowboys. Kendrick Bourne suddenly becomes the WR1 if Wilson cannot go.

    Tyler Allgeier (toe) did not practice Wednesday.

    Allgeier popped up on the injury report with a toe issue as rookie Jeremiyah Love (ankle) returned to practice in a limited fashion. Though we don’t know the severity of Allgeier’s injury, it may be worth keeping Bam Knight rostered despite Love’s return. If Allgeier cannot play in Week 8 against the Cowboys, Knight will get another week of fantasy viability.

    Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Campbell came out of the Eagles’ Week 7 loss to the Cowboys dealing with hamstring and quad injuries. He starts out the week as an estimated DNP. Campbell will likely need to practice in some capacity in order to play Week 8 against the Commanders.

    DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Both Smith and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were estimated DNPs for the Eagles’ walkthrough. Both players missed Week 7 against the Cowboys and start off on the wrong side of questionable to open Week 8. Smith and Wicks will need to at least get a limited practice session in before they can be considered as potential fantasy options against the Commanders. With Britain Covey (knee) also DNP, the receiving corps is sparse. If neither can go, Darius Cooper and Hollywod Brown get a boost from the WR group while TE Dallas Goedert becomes the No. 1 pass-catcher in the Eagles offense.

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Barkley was predictably a non-participant after re-aggravating his hamstring injury and additionally injuring his back in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Despite the injuries, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Barkley said his hamstring “came out great” and he doesn’t believe his back will keep him out. With every other Eagles running back suffering long-term injuries, Barkley is attempting to gut out his injury issues. Given his re-aggravation last week, it is well within the range of outcomes for Barkley to see limited snaps in Week 8 against the Commanders. His motivation to play makes us think he is on track to be active on Sunday but Barkley is a risky RB2 as he deals with injuries.

    Javon Kinlaw (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Kinlaw is dealing with a knee issue. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday it will “likely be tough” for the 29-year-old defensive tackle to play Sunday. We can expect Kinlaw to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 8 against the Eagles.

    Stefon Diggs (hand/hamstring/rest) did not practice Wednesday.

    Commanders head coach Dan Quinn already said Diggs won’t practice Wednesday, so this is not a surprise. Quinn also confirmed the veteran will return to practice Thursday and the additional rest designation should stave off concerns of Diggs dealing with a long-term injury. He should be in the WR3/FLEX mix for Week 8 against the Eagles. Also not practicing for the Commanders was TE John Bates (shoulder).

    Treylon Burks (foot) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Burks was limited due to a foot injury; this is notable with the Commanders coming out of a bye week. With Terry McLaurin out for the season, Burks has the opportunity to earn an increased role in the receiving corps. Fantasy managers don’t need to roster the 26-year-old yet, but Dyami Brown and Antonio Williams could see a boost in targets if Burks sits out Week 8 against the Eagles.

    George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice.

    Pickens played through a minor shoulder injury last week, but the hamstring designation is new. He was still a limited practice participant, indicating neither injury should be an issue for his Week 8 status. Meanwhile, WR/KR KaVontae Turpin (ribs) was an estimated DNP in practice after not playing last week. The Cowboys may be missing Turpin again as a kick returner and gadget player on offense, but Pickens should still be the WR2 for Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Jalen Carter said he “probably won’t be 100-percent this year” due to a wrist injury.

    Carter has been dealing with a wrist injury since the beginning of the season, playing through it for the last seven weeks. He will continue to play through it, though the Eagles defensive tackle admits the wrist won’t be fully healed this season.
