Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (groin) was not listed on the team's initial injury report on Wednesday. This is an excellent sign for the fourth-year wideout as he was diagnosed with a groin injury in August. In addition, Pierce was also a full participant during Thursday's practice, further suggesting he will be a full-go for Sunday's contest against the Miami Dolphins. Last season, Piece went on to have a career year, totaling 824 yards and seven touchdowns on just 37 catches. Despite playing in a crowded wide receiver room, Pierce was able to emerge as Indianapolis's primary deep threat. He tallied over 100 yards in three games and caught seven passes longer than 40 yards. However, given his role as the team's No. 3 WR, he is best left as a sneaky budget play in DFS.

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) was listed as a limited participant in practice on the first injury report of the year on Wednesday heading into a Week 1 tilt against the Miami Dolphins. Goodson was the only player listed on Indy's injury report, so they are pretty healthy to open things up. The 24-year-old should be able to suit up for Sunday's contest, but he shouldn't be rostered at all in 12-team leagues and won't be a realistic starting option anywhere if he's active. Jonathan Taylor is the Colts' clear RB1, and rookie DJ Giddens could very well be his primary backup. Barring an injury to Taylor, Goodson will be hard-pressed to find signficant work despite averaging 4.8 yards per carry in his second NFL season in 2024. Most of Goodson's production last year came when Taylor missed time due to injury.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (hamstring) is not on the team's initial injury report. This is an excellent sign as the wideout was battling a hamstring injury throughout most of August. However, seeing him practice in full on Wednesday should put him in an excellent position to be at full strength in their season opener on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week in case he faces a setback. Last season, despite playing with subpar QB play, Downs flashed immense upside as he averaged 13.1 PPR points per game across 14 contests. During this stretch, Downs tallied 57.4 yards per game and scored five touchdowns. With Daniel Jones slated to serve as the QB1 in Indianapolis, Downs possesses high-end WR3 upside facing the Dolphins.

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back DJ Giddens remains third on the depth chart despite a strong training camp and decent preseason. The 22-year-old rookie, drafted in the fifth round out of Kansas State, is currently listed behind starter Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Goodson (elbow). Last year in college, Giddens rushed for 1,343 yards on 205 carries, averaging an impressive 6.6 yards per attempt, and also caught 21 passes for 258 yards and a touchdown. His preseason stats of 18 carries for 67 yards (3.7 YPC) and one nine-yard reception are less impressive. RotoBaller ranks Giddens as RB61, making him a potential late-round stash with upside. Taylor has a history of injuries, missing 16 games over the past three seasons. Goodson is also dealing with an elbow injury, and Giddens could see a significant workload increase if either misses time. The fifth-round pick is a must-add handcuff for Taylor managers and a strong late-round target in deeper leagues, with the potential to step into a starting role if injuries happen.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren may exceed expectations in his first year in the National Football League. "Since arriving in Indianapolis, as expected, Warren has been a go-to target in the passing game, whether it was Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson Sr. throwing to him," wrote Paul Bretl of Colts Wire. "Over the middle of the field, Warren presents a very difficult matchup with his combination of size and athleticism. He's also proven to be a very reliable pass-catcher and brings YAC abilities as well." The rookie had a stellar collegiate career at Penn State, amassing 1,839 yards and 19 touchdowns off 153 catches, adding 32 carries for 224 yards and six touchdowns. With so much volatility at the tight end spot, Warren could become a week-to-week fantasy starter in most formats almost immediately. However, his ceiling may be limited if Jones or Richardson struggle during the year. The Colts will begin the 2025 campaign by hosting the Miami Dolphins in Week 1.
