Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Leads team in receiving Sunday
Ameer Abdullah rushed four times for 15 yards and caught all five of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.Abdullah benefited from having Philip Rivers take over under center for the injured Daniel Jones (Achilles) after the backup running back finished as the Indianapolis Colts' leading receiver Sunday. The 32-year-old Abdullah hadn't recorded more than two receptions in any of his previous nine appearances this season, but the higher target share could become a trend with Rivers needing to make plenty of check-down passes to preserve his own health down the stretch. Abdullah represents a sneaky play in Week 16 for those in deep PPR formats, but the veteran backup can safely be ignored elsewhere.

Colts' Ameer Abdullah: One grab in win
Ameer Abdullah caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Falcons.Abdullah failed to record a single carry Sunday, as the veteran running back played just five of the Indianapolis Colts' 77 offensive snaps against the Falcons. The 32-year-old was was not needed much in the game, as starter Jonathan Taylor ran all over the Falcons on his way to 244 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. With Taylor dominating the backfield for the Colts, Abdullah should not be trusted for fantasy purposes. He'll continue to operate as a depth option when Indianapolis comes out of their Week 11 bye to face off against the Chiefs in Week 12.

Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Minimal role in loss
Ameer Abdullah had one carry for three yards and one reception for two yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.Abdullah played five snaps on offense while Tyler Goodson played a season-high 10 snaps with the Indianapolis Colts trailing most of the game (as Goodson is usually seen as the better receiver). However, the Colts didn't turn to a pass-catching running back as they have in the past -- Jonathan Taylor stayed in the game and played on 62 of the offense's 79 snaps. As long as Taylor is healthy, it looks the other running backs will have very minor roles even if the Colts are forced throw the ball.

Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Three touches in blowout win
Ameer Abdullah had two carries for five yards and one reception for three yards on his lone target in Sunday's 38-14 win over Tennessee.Tyler Goodson returned after missing three games due to a groin injury but Abdullah saw slightly more work, playing 10 snaps compared to four for Goodson, while DJ Giddens was a healthy inactive. Both active backups had only two carries, however, and none of the Indianapolis Colts' backfield depth options will get enough touches for viable fantasy value as long as Jonathan Taylor dominates the workload even in blowouts, as Sunday's win was essentially wrapped up before the fourth quarter.

Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Three touches against Chargers
Ameer Abdullah rushed twice for 19 yards and caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.Abdullah played just five of the Indianapolis Colts' 60 offensive snaps Sunday behind starter Jonathan Taylor (52) and ahead of rookie DJ Giddens (3). The veteran running back offers little fantasy value outside of an injury to Taylor, yet it's unclear if Abdullah's role would drastically increase as a 32-year-old in one of the league's most explosive offenses. With that said, Abdullah remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Titans.
