Draft Scouting Report
Lindsay signed with the Colts this offseason, and he's expected to be a reserve running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines. Lindsay is not worth drafting in most leagues, but he could emerge as a lottery-ticket option if Taylor were to get hurt and miss any time. It would likely be a committee trying to replace Taylor in that scenario, but Lindsay would be a high priority off the waiver wire. For two seasons in 2018 and 2019, Lindsay was a Fantasy darling, averaging at least 12.3 PPR points per game in both years. But in the past two seasons, he's been under 6.0 PPR points per game, and he spent time in Houston and Miami in 2021. We hope Lindsay can get his career back on track -- just not at the expense of Taylor -- but he's not a priority for Fantasy managers this season unless you want to handcuff Taylor in deeper leagues.

Phillip Lindsay: Let go from practice squad
The Colts cut Lindsay from the practice squad Thursday.
Lindsay was activated from the practice squad Week 9 versus New England, but Indianapolis' new coaching staff has already decided to part ways with the veteran running back in favor of Jake Funk. Now, Lindsay will likely have to search for a practice squad opportunity elsewhere in the league.

Phillip Lindsay: Returns to practice squad
Lindsay reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Lindsay received the promotion with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) out Sunday against the Patriots. The veteran running back saw nine plays on offense, getting one carry for two yards, and he was unable to catch his only target. If Taylor is unable to suit up Week 10 against the Raiders, Lindsay could receive another bump up to the active roster.

Phillip Lindsay: Likely to be elevated again
Lindsay is likely to be called up from the Colts' practice squad for Sunday's game against the Patriots with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) ruled out, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Lindsay racked up 14 carries and six catches in two previous appearances for Indianapolis while working behind Deon Jackson with Taylor sidelined. He's likely to slide into the No. 2 role behind Jackson once again Week 9, as recent trade acquisition Zack Moss is unlikely to see significant playing time so soon after being brought in.

Colts' Phillip Lindsay: Bumped up to active roster
Lindsay was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
This was predictable after the Colts announced Friday that Jonathan Taylor (ankle) would not play. Lindsay tallied 14 carries for 47 yards to go along with six catches for 19 yards in the two games Taylor missed earlier this season, but that came before the emergence of Deon Jackson, who is slated to start Sunday's game, and the arrival of former Bills running back Zack Moss, who could be a candidate for carries if he's able to get a grip on the playbook.
