Jack Doyle Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle announced his retirement in a statement on Monday. Doyle was considering retirement at the conclusion of the 2021 season, so this shouldn't come as a huge surprise. The 31-year-old was due to make $5.45 million this year if he continued to play. Doyle had 29 catches for 302 yards and three touchdowns while sharing snaps at the position with both Mo Alie-Cox and rookie Kylen Granson last year. The two-time Pro Bowler will finish his nine-year career with a total of 295 receptions on 407 targets for 2,729 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns in 131 games, all with the Colts. Alie-Cox is set to be a free agent in 2022, so Granson could have a substantial role as the pass-catching tight end if Alie-Cox goes elsewhere.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and tight end Jack Doyle, who just completed their 10th and ninth seasons, respectively, are both contemplating retirement this offseason. Doyle is under contract through the 2022 season, but Hilton will be a free agent in March. Hilton, 31, contemplated retirement last September after a neck injury sidelined him for the start of the season. Hilton is 309 yards shy of 10,000 receiving yards in his career, a feat that would make the Colts the first franchise with three receivers to hit that mark entirely in its uniform. The four-time Pro Bowler had only 23 catches for 331 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games in 2021, and he's missed 15 games in the last four years due to injuries. Doyle had 29 catches for 302 yards and three scores in 17 games while sharing playing time with Mo Alie-Cox and rookie Kylen Granson.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (ankle, knee) returned to a full practice on Friday but is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Doyle missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but he has a chance to suit up this weekend after returning to the practice field. The 31-year-old has been splitting snaps with Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson this year, though, which has made him a low-ceiling TE2 for fantasy managers. Alie-Cox, who played 90% of the snaps when Doyle was injured last week, would be a more attractive TE2 if Doyle were to sit out, but it'll be hard to trust any Indy pass-catcher against the Raiders if quarterback Carson Wentz is unable to clear the league's COVID protocols before Sunday.
