Indianapolis Colts news, rumors and injuriesColts | Reggie Wayne cleared for practice Wed, 23 Jul 2014 08:09:13 -0700 Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne (knee) said he has been medically cleared to practice. He's expected to be limited, though, especially in the near future. Fantasy Tip: Wayne's recovery will dictate how effective he can be early in the year. Keep him in mind as a WR4 that, with proper healing, could return to every-week lineup consideration as 2014 wears on. His presence will affect the target loads for rebound candidates WR Hakeem Nicks and TE Dwayne Allen (hip).

Comment () | Share: Colts | Stanley Havili top choice at FB Fri, 18 Jul 2014 20:02:12 -0700 Indianapolis Colts FB Stanley Havili appears to have the edge over FB Mario Harvey for the starting fullback job entering training camp. Comment () | Share: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 10:38:30 -0700 Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne (knee) can still play, get open and make a catch, according to head coach Chuck Pagano. Pagano said it will be great to have Wayne back (from injury) not only because of his on-field ability but because of the leadership he brings to the locker room. Fantasy Tip: The boat has sailed on the prime of Wayne's career and the Colts wide receiver corps is stacked with WRs T.Y. Hilton, Hakeem Nicks, Da'Rick Rogers and rookie Donte Moncrief all in the mix. Wayne should be considered a WR4 or flex option in standard leagues.

Comment () | Share: Colts | Continuity could help Trent Richardson Mon, 14 Jul 2014 18:53:50 -0700 Indianapolis Colts RB Trent Richardson should improve on his 2.9 yards per carry average in 2014, according to Kevin Bowen of Colts.com. Bowen believes Richardson will benefit from playing in the same offensive system for the second year in a row for the first time in his NFL career. Fantasy Tip: Richardson will get the first shot at starting this season and has some upside, but with his poor play last season and Ahmad Bradshaw and Vick Ballard waiting to steal carries, he should be viewed as a low-end RB2. Comment () | Share: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:27:38 -0700 Indianapolis Colts CB Greg Toler (groin) is using last season's injury and disappointment as motivation to get better this year. Toler said he's stronger because of it and knows he has a lot to prove. He said the biggest thing this year is staying healthy. Comment () | Share: Colts | Trent Richardson will need to produce Sat, 12 Jul 2014 09:15:31 -0700 Indianapolis Colts RB Trent Richardson will need to produce right away in the running game if he wants to keep the starting job, because the team will not wait for him to turn things around if RB Ahmad Bradshaw or Vick Ballard are playing well. Fantasy Tip: Richardson is getting the first chance to start, but he could find himself on the bench if he fails to produce. Richardson should be considered a low-end No. 2 running back in drafts this season. Owners could consider taking a late-round flier on Bradshaw or Ballard since there is a chance they could take over the starting job if Richardson falters, but it is not known which back would have more value at this point. Comment () | Share: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 12:04:22 -0700 The Indianapolis Colts have signed free-agent WR Aaron Burks (Buccaneers). Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Comment () | Share: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 12:03:49 -0700 The Indianapolis Colts have waived WR LaVon Brazill, who was recently suspended at least one year for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Comment () | Share: Colts | Trent Richardson improving via classroom Fri, 11 Jul 2014 10:31:38 -0700 Indianapolis Colts RB Trent Richardson has greatly benefitted from extra time spent in the classroom, according to offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton. Hamilton said Richardson will be better this season after facing a tough situation following his trade to Indianapolis. Fantasy Tip: There are high, or at least higher, expectations for Richardson in his second season with the Colts. From what's been said this offseason, it sounds like he's improving nicely. He should be the Colts' starting running back, but RBs Ahmad Bradshaw and Vick Ballard will also be involved. Richardson should be considered a low-end RB2 in standard leagues with more upside in PPR leagues. Comment () | Share: Colts | Bjoern Werner looking better Thu, 10 Jul 2014 16:31:11 -0700 Indianapolis Colts LB Bjoern Werner is doing a better job with movement and carrying his weight, according to linebackers coach Jeff FitzGerald. Werner will be asked to do more early on with DE Robert Mathis suspended for the first four games of the season. Comment () | Share: Colts | Dwayne Allen will help offense be more creative Thu, 10 Jul 2014 10:17:27 -0700 Indianapolis Colts TE Dwayne Allen's return will allow the offense be more creative this upcoming season, according to tight ends coach Alfredo Roberts. "It makes us a better football team," Roberts said. "Getting him back is like getting a brand new player. (Allen) gives you a chance to do some other things. His skillset allows us to protect it up, or throw it or run it when we see the advantage. He gives us an advantage because he can do some things in the backfield, do some things in-line where [TE Coby Fleener] we feel like has blossomed as an outside guy. It gives you a little more of a chance to be creative." Comment () | Share: Colts | Arthur Jones should bolster team's run defense Tue, 08 Jul 2014 18:18:16 -0700 Indianapolis Colts DE Arthur Jones has earned praise from defensive line coach Gary Emanuel for his versatility and unselfish play. "He loves to play against the run," Emanuel said. "In the defensive line area, you have to be a guy that loves to use up blockers and take on double teams, all those things and that's what Art brings to the table. He brings versatility to the front defensive line, so hopefully he'll make a great addition to our unit." Comment () | Share: Colts | Matt Hasselbeck interested in continuing career Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:57:39 -0700 Indianapolis Colts QB Matt Hasselbeck said he is interested in re-signing with Colts after his contract expires.
