Who Should I Start? Mo Alie-Cox or Anthony Miller

Friday, February 23, 2:30 PM

The Athletic's James Boyd writes that Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox is an easy target if the team wishes to create more salary cap space this offseason. He's entering the final year of a three-year, $17.6 million contract extension that he signed in 2022. Alie-Cox is due the last $5.9 million of that in 2024, but none of it is guaranteed. The 30-year-old is the team's best blocking tight end and has recorded at least three touchdowns in each of the last three seasons, but he's not getting any younger and is unlikely to develop into a true No. 1 pass-catching tight end at this point of his career. Both Will Mallory and third-year tight end Jelani Woods, who missed all of 2023 with hamstring issues, give the Colts more upside at the position amid their current youth movement. Alie-Cox hasn't been much more than a low-upside, touchdown-dependent TE2 option for fantasy managers in deep leagues.

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent wide receiver Anthony Miller to their practice squad on Tuesday. Miller last popped up on an NFL roster with the San Francisco 49ers late in August but hasn't appeared in a game since Week 12 of the 2021 season, when he was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Overall, Miller has 140 receptions for 1,589 yards and 12 touchdowns across 50 games. Miller will add some depth to the Colts' receiving corps in hopes of getting signed to the 53-man roster at some point during the 2023 season.
