Sermon did not record a carry in his final game of the year. Sermon joined the Colts early in the 2023 season after being cut by the 49ers and then again by the Eagles. He was quickly promoted to the active roster and made enough of a mark to earn a one-year contract with the team in the offseason. Sermon was called into action in 2024 when Jonathan Taylor suffered an ankle injury in Week 5. He ran 28 times for 67 yards at a dismal 2.4 yards per carry across two starts. Sermon also scored once and caught six passes for 25 yards, all of which came in the first start. By Taylor’s third absence, the Colts had seen enough of Sermon and relegated him to backup duties. Upon Taylor’s return, Sermon retained the backup role but was held to three or fewer touches in all but one game. Sermon will be a free agent in the spring. He should be able to find work as a backup and a special teamer, but it’s hard to imagine a landing spot that keeps him on the fantasy radar in 2025.

Sermon came in to spell Jonathan Taylor after a historic day. He and Tyler Goodson split carries, with Goodson getting four carries for 22 yards in the second half. Taylor came back in to finish the game, but Sermon and Goodson contributed to a 335-yard Colts rushing day. Both are handcuffs, but do not have fantasy relevance unless Taylor gets hurt.

Sermon popped up on the injury report as a DNP on Wednesday but practiced in full by Friday. He will draw his third start of the year with Jonathan Taylor sidelined once again. Sermon has 34 touches for 92 yards and a touchdown across two starts. He is a volume-based RB3 for his upcoming game against the Dolphins.
