Rotoworld Player News

Jalen Travis

IND Tackle

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reports Jalen Travis (knee) is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.

A fourth-round pick in 2025, Travis made four starts as a rookie and took over as the team’s starting right tackle this year. He started all nine games to open the season. Luke Tenuta will take his place in the lineup for a few weeks.
Alec Pierce

IND Wide Receiver #14

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said he wasn’t sure if Alec Pierce (heel) will play again this season.

Pierce, who signed a massive new deal with the Colts last offseason, has been on injured reserve since Week 3. The Colts have little reason to rush him back in another lost season. “We’ll see. Like I said last week, he’s still in that rehab process, and I’m not going to put a timetable on return,” Steichen said Wednesday when asked about Pierce’s availability. Steichen mentioned Deion Burks and Anthony Gould as receivers who will see more playing time after the Colts traded Josh Downs and Keenan Allen this week.
Deion Burks

IND Wide Receiver #80

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Deion Burks will see an expanded role.

The rookie wideout, who has run a route on 16 percent of the Colts’ drop backs through Week 9, should see a big jump in routes with Josh Downs traded to the Chiefs. In his limited playing time this season, Burks has been targeted on a fairly strong 18 percent of his routes with a high 17.5 average depth of target. Burks and Laquon Treadwell should be the team’s primary downfield wideouts for now. Burks should only be rostered in deep leagues with multiple flex spots.
Anthony Gould

IND Wide Receiver #6

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Anthony Gould will play slot receiver after Josh Downs was traded to the Chiefs.

With Downs shipped out, the slot role will go to Gould, who has four receptions for 45 yards over three seasons with the Colts. Downs had accounted for 18 percent of the team’s targets and 24 percent of the team’s air yards through Week 9. The Colts use three wideout sets on 59 percent of their offensive plays, the 12th highest rate in the NFL. They rank 29th in EPA per pass attempt with three receivers on the field. Gould should be rostered in deeper formats based on route volume alone.
Josh Downs

KC Wide Receiver #2

Chiefs acquired WR Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Colts for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.

It was an obvious fit. Downs will slot in as Kansas City’s No. 2 wideout behind Rashee Rice and his fantasy stock receives a slight upgrade — though we felt like we’ve spent all year saying that and never seeing any actual returns for it — while Xavier Worthy moves back to the undesirable FLEX shadow zone. The Colts had to make this trade as Downs was a free agent at year’s end, but it has left them with a completely indecipherable wideout room. Ashton Dulin is perhaps the No. 1 target Daniel Jones has outside of Tyler Warren and Jonathan Taylor.
Jonathan Taylor

IND Running Back #28

The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports the Colts won’t trade Jonathan Taylor before today’s trade deadline.

Multiple teams, per Pelissero, offered a second-round pick. It sounds like Indianapolis was holding out for a first. Playing out the season in Indy, Taylor will likely retain RB1 value despite a gross situation. It should be noted that Seth McGowan had begun to cut into Taylor’s playing time a bit, but with the Colts now committed to Taylor for the short-term, it’s plausible that he’ll operate at a 70-75 percent of snaps player for the remainder of the season. McGowan retains contingency value in fantasy leagues but will not stumble into a major role barring injury.
Keenan Allen

SF Wide Receiver #10

49ers acquired WR Keenan Allen from the Colts for a 2027 sixth-round pick.

Just what the 49ers needed: To get older at the skill positions. With Christian Kirk gone, Allen figures to fill a role for the 49ers and could still be fantasy relevant depending on Mike Evans’ health. It does seem unlikely he’ll draw the same sort of targets as he had been handling for the Colts, but the targets should be more effective. The Colts signed Allen off the street in August and flipped him for something as they realized they were going nowhere, so they’ve done well for themselves here. The wideout vacuum in Indianapolis may draw players like Ashton Dulin into fantasy consideration, especially if Josh Downs also moves later today.
Jonathan Taylor

IND Running Back #28

ESPN’s Stephen Holder believes the Colts could receive “an 11th-hour offer” for Jonathan Taylor that convinces Indianapolis to trade him.

Holder’s sources are currently telling him that there is “not a strong indication” that the Colts will be busy making deals at Tuesday’s trade deadline, but he adds that “you can’t rule this out with Taylor.” The Colts already received an offer including a second- and a fifth-round pick. Holder wonders aloud whether a second- and a third-round pick could be enough for Indianapolis to trade him away. Reading between the lines, that could be the Colts leaking an asking price to him. We’ll find out for sure in less than 48 hours. Stay tuned.
Josh Downs

IND Wide Receiver #2

ESPN’s Stephen Holder believes Josh Downs “is finding that he is best suited to play the role he has always played.”

The Colts have given Downs the opportunity to expand his offensive involvement this year, but he has struggled to capitalize on it without Alec Piece (heel) on the field to keep defenses honest. Downs reportedly asked for a trade roughly two weeks ago, and per Holder, the relationship between Downs and the Colts isn’t “the best” right now. If they can’t get adequate trade value, they may choose to keep him, while also using the lack of a substantial offer as a counterpoint to his recent disgruntlement. Stay tuned.
Daniel Jones

IND Quarterback #17

The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Colts informed Daniel Jones that they are not trading him by Tuesday’s deadline.

Jones successfully returned from last year’s season-ending Achilles tendon rupture, but his play has been negatively impacted by it. With two young quarterbacks on the roster, it would seemingly make sense to trade Jones to get an extended look at either Riley Leonard and/or Anthony Richardson. Apparently, the Colts disagree. We have no way of knowing whether Pelissero’s report is a hardball negotiation tactic by the Colts’ front office, but we will have an answer to that question in the next couple of days.
