Colts waived RB Phillip Lindsay.
Lindsay saw limited action this season, even with Johnathan Taylor sidelined for three games. The veteran running back appeared in three games for the Colts this season, rushing 15 times for 49 yards while also catching six passes for 19 additional yards. Struggling to find much room to run behind third-string running back Deon Jackson, a career resurgence in Indy just wasn't in the cards for Lindsay. In a corresponding move, the Colts signed running back Jake Funk to the practice squad.
Colts promoted RB Phillip Lindsay from the practice squad.
Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins will be part of the Colts' Week 9 backfield with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) out. Deon Jackson is the favorite to lead Indy in touches, but that could change if Zack Moss, who the Colts traded for at the deadline, is active. Lindsay played over 30% of snaps in both games Taylor missed earlier this season.
Phillip Lindsay had three rushes for seven yards in the Colts' Week 6 win against the Jaguars.
Lindsay took a backseat to Deon Jackson, who caught a whopping ten balls for 79 yards and logged 12 carries for 42 yards. Lindsay is clearly the last-resort back for the Colts who would only be fantasy viable if Jackson (quad) misses time, along with Nyheim Hines (concussion) and Jonathan Taylor (ankle).
Colts elevated RB Phillip Lindsay from the practice squad.
Lindsay was thoroughly out-snapped by Deon Jackson in Week 5 but still managed 15 total running back opportunities compared to 17 for Jackson. It is fair to expect a similar workload split against the Jaguars, who rank in the top-10 in most run-stopping metrics. Fantasy managers in an extreme pinch at running back can kick the tires on either Jackson or Lindsay, who should see the required workload to return RB3 numbers this week.
