QB Philip Rivers
U2014 Average consistent with the game: 23. 0 in 33. 0 passes (69. 7%), 266. 3 yards consistent with pass, 1. 2 TD, 1. 0 TO, 1. 07 hauls, 0. 0 yards on the court – 15. 7 PF
You 2014 FantasyPros 2020 Position Ranking: QB25
Stylish homeowners haven’t gotten their cash from the Colts pass game so far, but it’s still a 2019 update.
For six weeks, Rivers cash, with a top finishing touch consistent with percentage and an average yard consistent with attempt (8. 1). However, it is the lack of coherence that distracts elegant owners.
In Week 1, Rivers pitched for 363 yards, but has not yet reached the 300-yard mark until Week 6. The latter is also his only multi-touchdown performance. There were also some bad interceptions.
Rivers’ last game is encouraging. The Colts were forced to move on after falling into a 21-0 gap in front of the Cincinnati Bengals, and Rivers came back to life, which earned him his peak productive day as Colt.
In the post-break component of the season, Rivers will pull Pittman out of an injury at some point. Receiver Parris Campbell has undergone knee surgery and his prestige back is uncertain. The Colts have tough fights ahead of them, which means that if they hit one of them big, Rivers is going to throw the ball a little bit.
El RB Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines
U2014 Game-consistent averages: Taylor – u2014 14. 8 hauls 61. 2 yards on the ground, 2. 7 receptions (2. 8 targets), 27. 0 yards at reception, 0. 5 total touchdowns – 13. 2 PF Hines – u2014 4. 3 hauls, 12. 5 yards on the ground, 3. 8 receptions (4. 5 targets), 24. 3 yards at reception, 0. 3 TD overall – 7. 7 PF
FantasyPros 2020 U2014 Ranking: Taylor RB15, Hines RB35
The Colts set the stage when their offensive part Marlon Mack suffered an Achilles tendon injury that ended the season in the first part of the first game, and Taylor responded very well. Instead of a hit at the backfield, Taylor had to mature faster and showed progress.
The news for fantasy homeowners is that Taylor dominates colts backfield racing, accounting for 58. 6% of all races without quarterbacks.
Even though he has a 100-yard ground game, his genuine escape turns out to arrive at any time, having only brought the ball a total of 24 times in the more than two weeks due to the Colts game from behind, a high -A demand game is expected.
The Colts used Hines as their main passback, a 8. 2-touch game-consistent average, which was to be expected as a game for Rivers. This made Hines playable as a flexible option almost every week. And Taylor and Jordan Wilkins are either bigger and stronger, Hines still receives occasional action in the red zone as a ball carrier.
Rodrigo Blankenship
Game-consistent averages: 2. 7 out of 3. 0 FG (88. 9%), 2. 5 out of 2. 5 XP (100%), 10. 5 points
You 2014 FantasyPros 2020 Position Ranking: K2
The rookie kicker is lately the NFL’s top scorer with points, which makes enough for his fantasy status.
The Colts had problems in the red zone (27, 52. 2%), resulting in more box goals. He achieved nearly 90% of his goals in the box and scored all of his additional points.
With the exception of last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, Blankenship had at least 3 in-game placement attempts.
Colts Defense / Special Teams
Game-consistent averages: 288. 0 yards allowed, 19. 2 issues allowed, 2. 2 catches, 1. 7 takeaways, 2 safety in general, 3 TDs of total return
You 2014 FantasyPros 2020 Position Range: Tied-DST2
The Colts rank in the league’s 3 most defensively in general defense, assists and runs, and are in sixth place in the standings. In fantasy, all it does is keep them from wasting points.
They also create their own. The Colts are tied for 14th in catches (13) and lead the interceptions (10). They have two security guards, two interceptions go backwards for TD and an exit kick for TD.
WR Zach Pascal, T. Y. Marcus Johnson, Hilton
U2014 Averages consistent with the game: Pascal – u2014 2. 7 receptions (4. 7 targets), 33. 0 yards at reception, 2 general touchdowns – 6. 6 FP Hilton – u2014 3. 3 receptions (6. 2 targets), 40. 3 yards at reception – 5. 7 PF Johnson – 2014 3. 0 receptions (4. 0 targets), 62. 7 yards at reception – 7. 8 FP
FantasyPros 2020 Under-2014 Rating: Pascal WR59, Hilton WR71, Johnson WR94
The only thing that keeps Hilton from being the Colts’ WR1 right now is the lack of TD. He leads in goals (37), receptions (20) and yards (242), but has no goals. He dropped a 44-yard TD pass after wasting the ball in the sun and missed another score with a penalty.
Pascal took the most productive receiver position for the Colts because he has those TDs. He also had at least two receptions in the game. Rivers discovered Pascal in many chain movement situations, as 11 of his 16 takes went for a first check out or TD. .
At this rate, Johnson would by far be the Colts’ fantasy receiver. It has only been active for the last 3 games, but has had a reception of at least 25 yards in each. Johnson has been the Colts’ top constant catcher since the end of last season, and may continue to play a role when Pittman returns after his expiration.
TE: Mo Alie-Cox, Trey Burton, Jack Doyle
U2014 Game Consistent Averages: Alie-Cox – u2014 2. 2 receptions (2. 8 goals), 38. 8 receiving yards, 2 overall touchdowns – 7. 4 PF Burton – 2014 3. 7 receptions (5. 3 goals), 35. 7 receiving yards, 2 overall touchdowns – 9. 4 PF Doyle – 2014 1. 4 receptions (2. 0 goals), 18. 0 receiving yards, 1 TD total – 3. 7 PF
FantasyPros 2020 U2014 rating: Alie-Cox TE18, Burton TE27, Doyle TE42
Alie-Cox was the city’s communicator during the first games. In his third season, his perspective was even though everything was beginning to materialize, as he made big plays in the area and won 50-50 ball situations. Rivers obviously enjoys throwing Alie-Cox in possible big-play situations.
Like Johnson, Burton has also been active for three weeks, but has strengthened. Burton is a goal more than five times consistent with the game and last week broke with 4 receptions for 58 yards and a landing to pass with a wild cat on the line of purpose to land.
Doyle has a very different season than Jack-Doyle. In four games, he has only had two games in which he has been attacked more than twice, and has only once reached at least 40 yards. No 14-yard TD reception last week. Doyle’s ranks would be even lower. Until further notice, Burton and Alie-Cox play closed.
