Trey Sermon Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that running back Trey Sermon will serve as the backup behind Zack Moss with Jonathan Taylor (thumb) set to miss two to three weeks with a thumb injury that requires surgery. Sermon was the No. 2 behind Moss earlier in the year when Taylor was still on the Physically Unable to Perform list for an ankle injury that required offseason surgery, but he didn't see more than six touches in a game as the No. 2. The 24-year-old former third-rounder has eight carries for 24 yards and has caught one pass for four yards in his nine games in Indy in 2023. Moss should be the bell-cow back for the Colts for as long as Taylor is sidelined, giving him clear RB2 upside in fantasy.

Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon rushed five times for 17 yards and caught one of his two targets for four yards in the win over the Baltimore Ravens. It was a decent showing in his first game with the Colts, especially considering he was signed to the team's practice squad just five days before the game. That said, Zack Moss is the clear lead running back in Indianapolis, at least until Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returns as soon as Week 5. Sermon likely won't be a fantasy football factor this season.

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent running back Trey Sermon to their practice squad on Tuesday and waived offensive tackle Ryan Hayes in a corresponding move. Sermon injured his knee in training camp while with the Philadelphia Eagles and was subsequently waived from Injured Reserve. He's likely past his injury, but only time will tell if the Colts will give him a chance on the active roster with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) still on the Physically Unable to Perform list and rookie Evan Hull (knee) on Injured Reserve. The former third-round pick in 2021 made just two appearances with Philly last year and had two carries for 19 yards. For now, he'll just be serving as RB depth in Indy behind Zack Moss, Deon Jackson and Jake Funk.
