Colts' Trey Sermon: Three touches against Denver
Trey Sermon rushed once for three yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos.Sermon played just 18 of the Indianapolis Colts' 76 offensive snaps Sunday, while starter Jonathan Taylor continued to dominate the snap share with 52 snaps. The 25-year-old Sermon's rushing attempt against the Broncos in Week 15 was his first carry since Week 9. Barring an injury to Taylor, the veteran backup holds little value for fantasy purposes other than as an insurance policy. The Colts host the Titans in Week 16.

Colts' Trey Sermon: Opportunities remain sparse
Trey Sermon saw five snaps on offense during the Indianapolis Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday, but he didn't receive a carry or target.Sermon continues to see little opportunity in a backfield dominated by Jonathan Taylor. The Ohio State product hasn't had a carry since Week 9, or a target in either of the team's last two contests. However, he was involved in the return game and had a 23-yard kick return Sunday. Indianapolis has a Week 14 bye, but Sermon will be back on the field in Week 15 against Denver and likely continue seeing limited opportunities unless Taylor suffers an injury.

Colts' Trey Sermon: Sparse playing time in win
Trey Sermon had one reception for three yards on his only target and did not have a carry in Sunday's win at the Jets.He played just five snaps on offense as Jonathan Taylor played on 63 of the offense's 70 snaps. Sermon did play more snaps than Tyler Goodson (two snaps), but it may be Goodson that has more of a role as a pass catcher if the Indianapolis Colts fall far behind. Either way, neither Sermon nor Goodson currently has much of a role if Taylor is fully healthy.

Colts' Trey Sermon: Plays just two snaps in loss
Trey Sermon did not have a carry but recorded one reception for four yards in Sunday's loss to Buffalo. He played just two snaps on offense.Sermon has fallen behind Tyler Goodson in the competition for playing time behind Jonathan Taylor. However, Goodson played just nine snaps as Taylor played on 84 percent of the offense's snaps and was on the field late in the game despite the Indianapolis Colts falling far behind. Both trends don't bode well for Sermon's usage when all three backs are healthy.

Colts' Trey Sermon: Limited role against Minnesota
Trey Sermon rushed twice for four yards and caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.Sermon played just 14 of the Indianapolis Colts' 54 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter Jonathan Taylor (39) and Tyler Goodson (1). The 25-year-old operated in a minimal role as the Colts' No. 2 running back, and he should continue to see limited opportunities as long as Taylor can stay healthy. Sermon and the Colts will host the Bills in Week 10.

Colts' Trey Sermon: Takes back seat Sunday
Trey Sermon carried the ball eight times for 36 yards and caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Dolphins.With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) still sidelined, Sermon got the start in the Indianapolis Colts' backfield but surprisingly played second fiddle to Tyler Goodson -- Goodson saw 14 carries and turned them into 51 yards and his first career TD. Taylor could be back in Week 8 against the Texans, but if he's not ready to go, coach Shane Steichen might decide to ride the hot hand between Sermon and Goodson again, making both backs volatile fantasy options.

Colts' Trey Sermon: Set to play Sunday
Trey Sermon (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.Sermon has benefited the last two contests with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sidelined, at least in terms of touches (34 in all), but his efficiency has been lacking to the tune of 2.4 yards per carry and 4.2 yards per catch. Sermon also tended to first a collarbone injury during Week 6 prep and then a knee issue this week, but he was able to increase his activity level from none Wednesday to some Thursday before Friday's full practice. With Taylor out again Sunday, Sermon seems to be the top candidate to pace the Indianapolis Colts backfield, but Tyler Goodson has been far more productive during Taylor's absence, turning 20 touches into 122 yards from scrimmage. Indianapolis also has Evan Hull on the active roster and Salvon Ahmed and Trent Pennix on the practice squad, but the trio have combined for no snaps in any facet this season.

Colts' Trey Sermon: Limited at practice Thursday
Trey Sermon (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday.After missing Wednesday's session, Sermon's return to the field, albeit in a limited capacity, a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If Sermon is able to practice fully Friday, he could head into the weekend without an injury designation, with his Week 7 status of particular import due to Jonathan Taylor's (ankle) continued absence from practice.
