Tyler Goodson Ruled Out for Week 5 Against Raiders

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders at Lucas Oil Stadium after missing practice all week, according to Amanda Foster of Colts.com. Goodson suffered the injury in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday. The 24-year-old second-year back has only been active for two games in four weeks for Indy due to injuries, and he only has two carries for six yards on the season as backfield depth for the Colts. Goodson has no business being rostered in the vast majority of fantasy leagues right now. With him missing yet another game, rookie DJ Giddens should serve as the backup for workhorse Jonathan Taylor against the Raiders, with Ameer Abdullah and Ulysses Bentley serving as additional depth.

Tyler Goodson Injures Groin in Loss to Rams

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (groin) exited Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Los Angeles Rams and was unable to return. He finished the game with just one touch -- a zero-yard reception -- and did not have any returns on special teams. Firmly entrenched as the No. 3 running back in Indianapolis, Goodson has no fantasy appeal as long as Jonathan Taylor is healthy. If he misses any time, Ameer Abdullah would likely step up as the No. 3 running back behind Taylor and D.J. Giddens.

Tyler Goodson Making Season Debut in Week 3

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) will be active for the first time this season when his team visits the Titans in Week 3. Goodson is expected to compete with DJ Giddens for work behind Jonathan Taylor, although Taylor played 93% of the team's snaps in Week 2 and will stay the focal point of the offense. Goodson could work his way into a meaningful role as a deep-league flier or a handcuff to Taylor if he can pass up Giddens, who got some work in Week 1 in a lopsided win, but didn't get a touch in Week 2 against the Broncos. Keep an eye on how any work is divided between the backups, or if Taylor just features full-time.

Tyler Goodson Inactive Against Miami

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) is officially inactive for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday versus the Miami Dolphins. Goodson was limited all week during practices with his elbow injury and was listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. It doesn't appear to be a serious ailment for Goodson, but the Colts will keep him out for the first game of the season. His next chance to make his 2025 debut will be in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos next Sunday. With Goodson sitting in Week 1, it will give rookie DJ Giddens the opportunity to serve as the direct backup to starter Jonathan Taylor. Ulysses Bentley will be the RB3. The 24-year-old Goodson is off the fantasy radar for now and won't be worth a look on the waiver wire unless Taylor misses time with an injury this year.

Tyler Goodson Questionable Heading into Week 1

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) will hope to take the field against the Miami Dolphins at home in Week 1. Goodson is listed as questionable for the game as he is still recovering from an elbow injury he suffered during the preseason. He has been practicing on a limited basis this week, giving him a chance to suit up. Goodson is listed as the RB2 in Indy behind Jonathan Taylor, which gives him some fantasy value as a handcuff. That being said, rookie DJ Giddens is also lurking as the RB3 and could potentially overtake Goodson if his injury lingers. For now, Goodson is worth a stash in deep fantasy leagues as the backup in case Taylor misses time.

Tyler Goodson Questionable for Week 1

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) is questionable for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. Goodson was able to put in limited practices this week, so he has a pretty good shot of suiting up this weekend for the season opener. However, even if he's deemed healthy enough to play, the 24-year-old might be the RB3 for Indy behind starter Jonathan Taylor and rookie DJ Giddens. Goodson can likely be ignored in most fantasy leagues unless Taylor misses time with an injury in 2025. The Iowa alum had 32 carries in his second NFL season in 2024 and ran for 153 yards and one touchdown in 16 games (no starts), adding 11 catches for 61 yards and one touchdown through the air.

Tyler Goodson Limited on Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) was listed as a limited participant in practice on the first injury report of the year on Wednesday heading into a Week 1 tilt against the Miami Dolphins. Goodson was the only player listed on Indy's injury report, so they are pretty healthy to open things up. The 24-year-old should be able to suit up for Sunday's contest, but he shouldn't be rostered at all in 12-team leagues and won't be a realistic starting option anywhere if he's active. Jonathan Taylor is the Colts' clear RB1, and rookie DJ Giddens could very well be his primary backup. Barring an injury to Taylor, Goodson will be hard-pressed to find signficant work despite averaging 4.8 yards per carry in his second NFL season in 2024. Most of Goodson's production last year came when Taylor missed time due to injury.

Tyler Goodson Likely to be Back Early in the Season

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen mentioned that running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) "would likely be back early in the season." Steichen said last week that Goodson avoided a major elbow injury when he was injured in the Aug. 16 preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. It's a little unclear exactly when the 24-year-old will be ready, though, and he's certainly up in the air to be available for the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday, Sept. 7, versus the Miami Dolphins. If Goodson is unavailable to suit up in Week 1, the Colts will roll with rookie DJ Giddens as their No. 2 and Khalil Herbert (undisclosed) as the RB3 behind starter Jonathan Taylor. In his second NFL season in 2024, Goodson had 43 touches and averaged 4.8 yards per touch in 16 games for the Colts as RB depth. An injury would need to keep Taylor sidelined for Goodson to be a waiver-wire target in fantasy leagues.

Tyler Goodson Misses Practice on Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) did not practice on Thursday, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Goodson injured his elbow in preseason action on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers and has not practiced since. He's unlikely to play in the preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Goodson reportedly has a chance to be ready for Week 1. The 24-year-old has logged 45 career rush attempts for 240 yards and one touchdown across his first two NFL seasons. Colts rookie running back DJ Giddens appeared to have jumped Goodson as the primary backup to Jonathan Taylor even before Goodson's injury. As a result, Goodson has minimal fantasy appeal even as a handcuff option.

Tyler Goodson Avoids Serious Elbow Injury

Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Goodson (elbow) avoided a serious elbow injury on Saturday in the team's second preseason game, according to Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. Goodson probably won't play in the preseason finale on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals, but the 24-year-old does have a shot to be ready for the Week 1 opener on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the Miami Dolphins if he makes the 53-man roster out of training camp. Goodson was third behind Jonathan Taylor and rookie DJ Giddens in last Saturday's preseason tilt against the Green Bay Packers, suggesting he's currently the RB3 ahead of Khalil Herbert (undisclosed). He only handled 43 total touches in 16 games (no starts) in his second NFL season in 2024, but Goodson averaged 4.8 yards per carry and scored two touchdowns. As long as Taylor and Giddens stay healthy, Goodson is off the fantasy radar.
