Ryan Kelly Fantasy

The Indianapolis Colts placed center Ryan Kelly on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday and also activated safety Khari Willis (calf) from Injured Reserve. Losing All-Pro Kelly in Week 13 against the Houston Texans is notable for Indy's offensive line. However, it may not matter all that much for running back Jonathan Taylor, the NFL's leading rusher, as he'll be going up a Houston defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards per game (135.6). Danny Pinter should be snapping the ball to quarterback Carson Wentz on Sunday. As of training camp, Kelly was unvaccinated, and if he still isn't vaccinated, he'll be quarantined for 10 days. Luckily, the Colts are on their bye in Week 14. Willis has two interceptions and 1.5 sacks in seven games and will return to a secondary that was shredded by Tom Brady in Week 12.

Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly inked a four-year contract extension Thursday that will pay him $50 million, thereby making him the leagues highest-paid center. Kelly will be integral to the acclimation of quarterback Philip Rivers to the Colts roster in his first season, while also being an anchor of the offensive line for the stylings of running backsMarlon Mack and Jonathan Taylor. While Kelly won't have any fantasy consideration as a center, his presence up front should help boost a Colts offense that passed for only 194.3 yards per game last season.

The Indianapolis Colts have placed center Ryan Kelly (concussion) on Injured Reserve, per Andrew Walker of Colts.com. Kelly missed the teams last three games after suffering a concussion against the Tennessee Titans in Week 12 and is being shut down for the season to ensure he doesn't aggravate the injury, a smart move given the Colts current 3-10 record. Indianapolis heads into the offseason with numerous question marks at key positions, but a healthy Kelly should help anchor the offensive line for the 2018 season.
