Phillip Lindsay Fantasy

Free-agent running back Phillip Lindsay agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Lindsay spent last season with the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins, finishing with 88 carries for 249 yards (career-low 2.8 yards per carry) and one touchdown, also adding four receptions for 45 yards and another score. The 27-year-old opened with two 1,000-yard rushing seasons in his first two years in the NFL with the Denver Broncos, but he's fallen off considerably since then and will be competing for touches in Indianapolis behind bell-cow Jonathan Taylor and pass-catching back Nyheim Hines. Taylor or Hines would likely have to miss time due to injury for Lindsay to even be worth a fantasy pickup.

Miami Dolphins running back Phillip Lindsay had seen 10-plus carries in each of his last two games heading into Week 17. However, Lindsay saw a decreased role during Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He rushed twice for one yard and hauled in one reception for an additional eight yards through the air. The Dolphins have been using a three-back committee lately, which has hurt the value of all their backs. After this performance, it's unlikely that Lindsay carries much value at all into the Week 18 matchup against the New England Patriots. There should be better options available in basically all formats.

Miami Dolphins running back Phillip Lindsay has seen double digit carries in each of his last two games. However, his impact on the ground has been minimal in these games. Lindsay has not surpassed 50 rushing yards in a single game this season. That is unlikely to change against the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. A defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to running backs so far. The Dolphins are currently using a three-back committee, which limits the value of all those backs. There is minimal upside with Lindsay, so he can be avoided in almost all fantasy formats.
