Michael Pittman Jr. Expected To Suit Up
Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is expected to be active ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. This is an odd turn of events after Pittman was a candidate for the injured reserve earlier in the week. Now, Pittman might suit up and play after being able to practice on Friday. It's unclear what kind of condition Pittman is in physically heading into this game. Fantasy managers should be cautious and rank Pittman as more of a low-end WR3 for Sunday's game. It's uncertain if he'll be limited at all and quarterback Anthony Richardson hasn't exactly had great chemistry with Pittman early in the season.Source: Ian Rapoport
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Anthony Richardson Still In Line To Play On Sunday
Anthony Richardson (oblique) continues to trend toward returning for Sunday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans. He's currently listed as questionable. However, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the signal-caller should play if he has a "solid pre-game workout." Despite entering the 2024-25 campaign with plenty of hype, Richardson hasn't delivered, throwing for 654 yards, three touchdowns, and six picks while completing just 50.6% of his throws. As a result, he's a risky fantasy option no matter the opponent, although his outlook will improve slightly if Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe) suit up in Week 6. Fortunately, both players are expected to get on the field.Source: Ian Rapoport

Adonai Mitchell Not A Strong Start In Week 6
Adonai Mitchell caught four of his seven targets for 38 yards in the team's Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite a decent target share, Mitchell saw a very low snap share, playing a total of just 19 in the game. With Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe) trending to play, Mitchell will likely see a similar snap share again in Week 6. On top of that, Mitchell and the Colts will be up against the Titans' secondary, a unit that's allowed the lowest receiving yards/game as well as the fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs. Mitchell is better left on the bench in Week 6.Source: RotoBaller
Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Joe Flacco A Low-End Streaming Option If Given The Week 6 Start
Joe Flacco had an outstanding Week 5 performance, completing 33 of his 44 passes for 359 yards in the team's loss. Flacco's starting status for Week 6 against the Titans is up in the air, with QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) tracking to play but still a game-time decision. If Flacco were to start, he would make for a deeper streaming option, with the Titans secondary allowing the fewest passing yards this season at a 124/game average. Fantasy managers in 2QB/Superflex leagues should stay up to date on the news on Sunday morning, should they need a last-minute replacement.Source: NFL

Tyler Goodson To See Some Opportunities in Week 6
Tyler Goodson ran the ball five times for 26 yards in Week 5, also grabbing three targets for 31 yards through the air. Goodson was involved in the absence of Jonathan Taylor (ankle) but played a secondary role to RB Trey Sermon in last week's loss. With Taylor out again in Week 6, Goodson will remain involved in the backfield once again. He is in for a tougher matchup, facing a Titans defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs this season. While Goodson may see an increase in volume after a nice showing last week, it's too much of a speculation to start him with confidence in most formats. He is currently the RB48 in this week's staff's half-PPR rankings.Source: RotoBaller
Indianapolis Colts running back Trey Sermon To See A Starting Role Again In Week 6
Trey Sermon ran the ball 10 times for 38 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 5 loss. He also reeled in six catches for another 25 yards through the air. Sermon is slated to be Indy's lead back once again when they face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Although he has replaced Jonathan Taylor (ankle) in his absence, running back Tyler Goodson has also seen a sizable role, getting five carries in the team's Week 5 loss. Sermon will face a tougher defense in Tennessee, as they have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs this season. Given the tougher matchup and what could potentially be a split in opportunities with Goodson, Sermon doesn't make for a strong start in Week 6. Fantasy managers replacing Taylor can look his way, but he should otherwise be viewed as an RB3 option. He is currently the RB31 in RotoBaller's half-PPR weekly rankings.Source: RotoBaller

Trey Sermon Set For Lead-Back Duties Again
Trey Sermon (collarbone) has been cleared to play in Week 6 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans and will serve as the team's primary RB for the second straight week with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) being ruled out. Sermon missed practice on Wednesday but was a full-go on both Thursday and Friday. The 25-year-old saw 10 carries for 38 yards and his second rushing touchdown of the year in last week's loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars, adding six receptions for another 25 yards. For the added volume alone with JT out again, fantasy managers should consider Sermon an RB3/flex this weekend. However, the matchup against the Titans on the road isn't nearly as good, as they've allowed the 22nd-most half-PPR points to opposing backs through five weeks this year.Source: Indianapolis Colts

Anthony Richardson Expects To Play
Anthony Richardson (oblique) is expected to play in Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans barring a late-week surprise, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Richardson suffered an oblique injury in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and was sidelined last weekend. This week, Richardson was able to log a limited practice session on Wednesday but was able to upgrade to full participation on Thursday and Friday, which suggests he should be in line to return to action. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend in case he faces a setback. Richardson has struggled to remain consistent throughout his young career and remains a high-risk, high-upside QB1 against the Titans.Source: Jeremy Fowler
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Michael Pittman Jr. Questionable For Sunday
Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Pittman did not participate in Wednesday's or Thursday's practice but was able to return in full on Friday which is a promising sign for his status for this weekend. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status ahead over the weekend. The USC product got off to a slow start this season but has tallied at least ten PPR points in each of his past two games with a a high of 17.3 in Week 4. If Pittman is able to suit up he should be viewed as a high-floor WR3 in PPR leagues.Source: Mike Chappell
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Anthony Richardson Picks Up Another Questionable Tag
Anthony Richardson (oblique) will be questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival Tennessee Titans in Week 6. Richardson suffered an oblique injury in the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and was questionable last week before sitting out in the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. He's questionable again this weekend, but the fact that Richardson returned to a full practice on Thursday bodes well for his chances of returning. Steichen said earlier this week that the struggling Richardson will be the team's starting QB when healthy. If the 22-year-old is active, he'll be a shaky QB1/2 given his struggles so far in his second season and the fact that the Colts are without running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and could be without receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe).Source: FOX 59 - Mike Chappell
