Ogletree had two receptions for 24 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
He played on 21 of the offense's 70 snaps (Mo Alie-Cox played 34 and Kylen Granson played 17) and had the second most targets (Alie-Cox had four) among tight ends. While Alie-Cox has had a few more targets with Joe Flacco at quarterback, the Colts continue to divide the workload relatively evenly between three our four tight ends, which limits Ogletree's upside.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Just one reception in loss
Rotowire
Ogletree had one reception for five yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
Ogletree played on 26 of the offense's 70 snaps and went out on nine routes. The Colts continue to divide targets and snaps between multiple tight ends (Kylen Granson played 18 snaps, Mo Alie-Cox played 29, and Will Mallory played 16). Alie-Cox caught a touchdown in the loss where Ogletree caught a touchdown Week 4. As long as the workload is divided between three or four tight ends, none will have viable fantasy value for most formats.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: TD reception in win
Rotowire
Ogletree caught a 15-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.
It was just Ogletree's second reception of the season, as Indy hasn't utilized tight ends in the passing game and splits targets among three tight ends. Ogletree played on just 24 of the offense's 66 snaps and went out on six routes. His minimal usage makes him a poor fantasy option despite the touchdown reception.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: One reception in loss
Rotowire
Ogletree had one reception for 12 yards on two targets in Sunday's 16-10 loss at Green Bay.
Indy's tight ends have a combined three receptions in the first two games, with no tight end having more than one reception. Ogletree started in Week 2 but played fewer snaps (14) than Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson, as the Colts have been rotating tight ends in all roles this season. After two weeks, no Indy tight end looks set to produce viable fantasy value.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Quiet day
Rotowire
Ogletree played just 10 snaps on offense and didn't see a target in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.
Ogletree's small role on offense isn't necessarily surprising, considering he's operating as the No. 3 man on the team's tight-end depth chart. He'll likely need an injury to Kylen Granson or Mo Alie-Cox to find himself as a larger part of the Colts' offense. However, he does remain a regular part of the team's special-teams unit.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Makes 53-man roster
Rotowire
Ogletree has made Indianapolis' 53-man roster.
With Jelani Woods (toe) out for the season on IR, Olgetree will be part of a four-man committee at tight end that also includes Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory. Ogletree is probably the second or third receiving option among the quartet, with Alie-Cox primarily a blocking tight end.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Arrested Friday
Rotowire
Ogletree was arrested Friday in Hendricks County, Indiana on allegations of domestic violence, Stephen Holder of ESPN reports.
Per the report, Ogletree was charged with a pair of level six felonies (domestic violence committed in the presence of a child less than 16 years old and domestic battery resulting in moderate bodily injury) stemming from an incident Tuesday. In a statement released Friday, the Colts noted that they are aware of the allegations involving the tight end and "are in the process of gathering more information."

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Blanked despite significant role
Rotowire
Ogletree saw one target on 26 offensive snaps in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win at Tennessee but did not catch the pass.
Despite pacing the Colts' tight ends in snaps in Week 13, Ogletree did not register in the box score. Although he has a dismal 50-percent catch rate, he's actually been relatively efficient on the few targets (18) he's drawn through nine games this season. Even so, he's on the heavy end (260 lbs.) even by tight end standards, so it makes some sense that Indianapolis has deployed him mostly as a blocker this year and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Missing another practice
Rotowire
Ogletree (foot) was not spotted at the early portion of Thursday's practice, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Ogletree looks on track to sit out another practice, though Thursday's session may well only be a walkthrough. The tight end hasn't played since Week 9, and though Indianapolis is coming off a bye, Ogletree may still require more time to get healthy. If he can't suit up against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Kylen Gransonand Mo Alie-Cox will stand to handle increased reps.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Not practicing
Rotowire
Ogletree (foot) isn't practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Ogletree missed the Colts' final game before a Week 11 bye and isn't ready for practice after the layoff. Another absence Sunday against Tampa Bay would leave more snaps for teammates Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: Estimated as 'DNP' Wednesday
Rotowire
Ogletree (foot) was listed as a nonparticipant on the Colts' practice estimate Wednesday.
Ogletree was forced out of Sunday's game at Carolina early with a foot injury, which is now also keeping him sidelined to begin Indianapolis' new week of practice. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play in Week 10.

Colts' Drew Ogletree: No targets despite start
Rotowire
Ogletree started at tight end but was not targeted in Sunday's loss to Cleveland.
Ogletree started at tight end with Kylen Granson out with a concussion and Jelani Woods (hamstring) still on injured reserve. He played on 42 of the offense's 70 snaps and went out on just 17 routes. Mo Alie-Cox had the only reception among tight ends in the loss, as they were needed as blockers against Cleveland's strong pass rush. Ogletree could be more active in the passing game next week against New Orleans, but he could also get less playing time if Granson or Woods is able to return to action.

Colts' Andrew Ogletree: Inactive for Week 2
Rotowire
Ogletree (coach's decision/concussion) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Ogletree cleared concussion protocols Saturday and didn't have an injury designation, but he still won't suit up Sunday. In his absence, Mo Alie-Cox will presumably see more snaps behind Kylen Granson, but rookie fifth-round pick Will Mallory is also available to make his NFL debut.

Colts' Andrew Ogletree: Set for Sunday
Rotowire
Ogletree was removed from concussion protocol Saturday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.
Ogletree wasn't a huge offensive factor in Week 1, but he might take on a larger workload if Kylen Granson, who popped up on the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury, is unable to play. If he sees action, Ogletree will be making his second appearance in the NFL on Sunday after missing the entire 2022 season due to a torn ACL.

Colts' Andrew Ogletree: Limited at practice Thursday
Rotowire
Ogletree (concussion) participated in limited fashion at practice Thursday.
Ogletree was placed in concussion protocol after suffering a blow to the head in the first half of Sunday's season opener against Jacksonville. His ability to take the field Thursday is a promising sign, though he was wearing a red non-contact jersey, suggesting it's uncertain he'll be able to play Week 2.

Colts' Andrew Ogletree: Making progress
Rotowire
Ogletree (concussion) is practicing Thursday, but he's wearing a red non-contact jersey, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Ogletree suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars and still seems to be moving through the league's five-step protocols in order to gain clearance to return to action. The second-year pro will need to complete those steps to suit up Sunday against the Texans.

Colts' Andrew Ogletree: Still in concussion protocol
Rotowire
Ogletree (concussion) remains in the NFL's concussion protocol as the Colts begin Week 2 prep Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Ogletree will need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol to return to action Sunday in Houston after suffering a blow to the head in the season opener against Jacksonville this past weekend. At this stage, Ogletree seems to be trending toward sitting out Week 2, which would further deplete a Colts tight-end room already without Jelani Woods (hamstring). An Ogletree absence would leave Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox as the leaders in the position group.

Colts' Andrew Ogletree: Enters concussion protocol
Rotowire
Ogletree is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Ogletree entered the league's concussion protocol after a head-to-head collision. With Will Mallory (coach's decision) also out, the Colts will be down to Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox at tight end should Ogletree not return.
