Phillip Lindsay Fantasy Stats

The Indianapolis Colts signed running back Jake Funk to their practice squad on Thursday and released running back Phillip Lindsay from the practice squad in a corresponding move. In five games for the Los Angeles Rams this year, Funk saw one snap on offense. The former seventh-round pick in 2021 played in 10 games in LA in his rookie season and returned four kicks on special teams. The 24-year-old from Maryland will strictly serve as emergency RB depth for the Colts now. Lindsay saw action in three games for the Colts this year when Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was sidelined, carrying the ball 15 times for 49 yards while catching six of his eight targets for 19 additional yards. He'll look to latch on with a new team to provide RB depth.

With Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) out for Week 9 against the New England Patriots on Sunday, the team elevated running backs Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. The Colts traded Nyheim Hines to the Bills on Tuesday, so they'll need additional depth with Taylor injured. Indy landed Zack Moss from Buffalo as well, but he's unlikely to be up to speed in his debut with the team after just being acquired on Tuesday. Deon Jackson should operate as the lead back against the Pats with Taylor out, but Lindsay did have 14 carries and caught six passes earlier this year in the two games that Taylor missed due to injury.

Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay was expected to have a bigger role against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Both Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) were sidelined for that contest. However, Deon Jackson stole the show, so Lindsay was forced to pick up the scraps. Now, Taylor and Hines are getting healthy and expected to suit up against the Tennessee Titans this week. That being said, Lindsay will likely fall down to fourth on the depth chart. He probably won't be involved at all during Sunday's game.

Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay was expected to have a bigger role during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts were limited with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) out. However, Lindsay took a backseat to Deon Jackson during Sunday's victory. Jackson hauled in ten receptions for 79 yards and logged 12 carries for 42 yards. Lindsay picked up the scraps with three carries for seven yards, while hauling in three receptions for five yards through the air. The hope is that Taylor and Hines will be able to play in Week 7. Otherwise, Jackson could be in for another big game. It's unlikely that Lindsay is going to have a big role in this offense going forward.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated running backs Phillip Lindsay and D'Vonte Price to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday and also signed wide receiver Keke Coutee to the active roster and waived offensive tackle Luke Tenuta. Running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, so the Colts will roll with Deon Jackson, Lindsay and Price in their backfield this Sunday. Jackson will be the preferred flex option in deeper leagues after he saw a team-high 13 carries for 62 yards and caught all four of his targets for 29 yards on 58 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 5 overtime win over the Denver Broncos.

Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay rushed 11 times for 40 yards and secured three of four targets for 14 yards in Thursday's 12-9 overtime win over the Denver Broncos. The 28-year-old was promoted from the practice squad when star running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was ruled out for Week 5. He was efficient in Thursday's win and could have a role in the Colts' backfield while Taylor and Nyheim Hines (concussion) is sidelined. Lindsay is a speculative add in deep-league formats and can be used as a flex play if Taylor and Hines remain out for Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated running back Phillip Lindsay from their practice squad to the active roster for Thursday night's game against his former team, the Denver Broncos, according to a source. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) ruled out for Week 5, Lindsay will make his Colts debut and could have a role alongside pass-catching back Nyheim Hines and Deon Jackson. The former undrafted running back had 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons with Denver but then quickly fell out of favor and was released. He had 88 carries for 249 yards and a touchdown in 14 games with the Texans and Dolphins in 2021. Lindsay could factor in on early downs against Denver on Thursday, but he's not a recommended option in starting fantasy lineups in his first game with Indy.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) won't play in the Week 5 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Without their superstar running back, the Colts will rely on Nyheim Hines, Deon Jackson, and Phillip Lindsay. While Hines is the No. 2 running back on the depth chart, Lindsay could lead the team in rushing attempts this week. Indianapolis might want to keep Hines in his hybrid receiving/running back role instead of increasing his work on the ground. Meanwhile, Jackson has two career rushing attempts, while Lindsay has two 1,000-yard seasons under his belt. Lindsay could potentially be a solid flex option for fantasy players this week.

Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay spent all the offseason with Indy before being a final cut during training camp. Now, Lindsay is back with the Colts and could start factoring into their gameplan. Head coach Frank Reich mentioned that Lindsay would begin getting into the equation, assuming Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is unable to play on Thursday Night Football. It's a short week, so the Colts might not want to push it with Taylor. Instead, Nyheim Hines and Lindsay would be the focal point in the backfield, assuming Taylor is out. It's hard to imagine Lindsay being a reliable streaming option against the tough Broncos defense.

The Indianapolis Colts signed running back Phillip Lindsay to their practice squad on Tuesday. Lindsay was released by the team on roster cutdown day a week ago, but he'll return to the team as depth at the running back position. Jonathan Taylor will be the primary lead back yet again, with Nyheim Hines working in mostly a pass-catching role behind him. Deon Jackson is currently the team's No. 3 RB. Lindsay went undrafted in 2018 but then made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season with the Denver Broncos, when he rushed for 1,037 yards and nine touchdowns on 192 carries. He also had a 1,000-yard rushing season the following year, but since then he's quickly fallen off and spent the 2021 season with the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins.
