Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree caught his only target of the day for a 15-yard touchdown in the team's 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ogletree caught the pass from QB Joe Flacco in the fourth quarter to help seal the win for Indianapolis. The touchdown grab made for Ogletree's second catch of the season over the span of four games. The Colts offense has not featured a tight end this season, and Ogletree ran fewer routes than tight ends Mo Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson, and Will Mallory in the matchup. Given the incredibly low usage, Ogletree is off the fantasy radar in Week 5 when the Colts face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that tight end Chris Ballard is off the NFL commissioner's exempt list and is back with the team during offseason workouts. Ogletree was recently cleared of domestic-violence charges following his arrest last December. Ogletree was put on the commissioner's exempt list on Dec. 30. The 25-year-old caught nine of his 21 targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games (nine starts) in 2023 in what was essentially his rookie season after he didn't play at all in 2022 after being drafted in the sixth round (192nd overall) in 2022 out of Youngstown State due to a torn ACL he suffered in the preseason. Ogletree will be off the fantasy radar as tight end depth behind Jelani Woods, Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox in 2024.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree has been placed on the Commissioner Exempt List by the NFL. This comes as no surprise after Ogletree was arrested for felony domestic violence charges on Friday night. The second-year tight end is facing some serious charges including domestic violence committed in the presence of a child less than 16 years old and domestic battery. It's possible that he won't see Ogletree in the NFL again. He spent most of the season on the injured reserve and barely contributed when healthy. His absence won't impact the Colts roster.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree (foot) practiced fully on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 13 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Ogletree has missed the past two games with a foot injury but he is trending in the right direction with a full practice under his belt already as the Colts kicked off preparations for Week 13. Provided he doesn't suffer a setback, it appears as though Ogletree will be back on the field in Week 13 but it will be worth monitoring his participation in practices throughout the remainder of the week.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree (foot) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for the Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ogletree hasn't played since Week 9 and is now set to miss his second straight game despite having last week's bye to rest up. Ogletree, and none of the Colts' tight ends for that matter, have been fantasy relevant in 2023. The 25-year-old has caught nine of is 17 targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns in eight games this year in his first NFL season after not playing at all in 2022. Kylen Granson is probably the best bet for production in Indy at the tight end position, but he will continue to lose playing time to fellow TEs Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory. Ogletree will be hoping to return to practice next week and play in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree (foot) missed practice on Wednesday as his team began preparing to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Ogletree didn't play in Indy's Week 10 game against the New England Patriots with the injury and apparently is still struggling to get healthy despite having a bye in Week 11. He will be worth monitoring on Thursday and Friday to see whether he can get back on the field. If Ogletree ultimately does not end up playing in Week 12, look for Will Mallory, Kylen Granson, and Mo Alie-Cox to soak up the tight-end snaps.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree (foot) did not practice this week and didn't make the trip with the team to Germany in Week 10 to face the New England Patriots. Ogletree caught his second touchdown pass of the season in Week 8 but hurt his foot in the Week 9 win over the Carolina Panthers and will now miss this weekend. The 25-year-old second-year tight end isn't much of a fantasy asset in his own right -- he has nine catches for 147 yards and two TDs on 17 targets in eight games this year -- but his absence this weekend will make Kylen Granson more attractive as a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in deep leagues. However, Granson still must contend with Mo Alie-Cox eating into his workload. Keep in mind both receivers Josh Downs (knee) and Alec Pierce (ankle) are questionable.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree (foot) did not practice in the team's estimated practice on Wednesday. Ogletree had to leave Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers early after suffering a foot injury during the contest. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his practice status before the Colts take on the New England Patriots in Germany in Week 10. If he plays this weekend, the 25-year-old should only be started in extremely deep tight end premium leagues.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree has yet to make much of a fantasy impact in the 2023 season. That stayed the same in Week 6 when Ogletree saw only one target in the team's 37-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite his limited usage, Ogletree may see an increased role in Week 7 when the Colts face the Cleveland Browns, as fellow tight end Kylen Granson (head) was ruled out for the matchup. While Ogletree may see increased volume, he likely doesn't carry much fantasy value as the Colts face the league's best-passing defense, the Browns.
Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Wednesday. It's not a good start to the week, but the 25-year-old second-year tight end still has a few more days to get the green light to play in Week 2 against the Houston Texans this Sunday. In his NFL debut in the Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ogletree caught one of his two targets for a one-yard gain before suffering a head injury. The Colts tight end room is a little beat up with Jelani Woods (hamstring) also injured. Even if Ogletree is cleared and suits up in Week 2, he'll be behind Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox in the TE pecking order in Indy.
