We'll see if Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is out again in Week 7 against Miami. If he can't play then Trey Sermon and Goodson would continue to share touches, and Goodson could be a flex option in all leagues. He looked good in Week 6 at Tennessee with eight carries for 51 yards and four catches for 14 yards on five targets, and this is a great matchup against the Dolphins, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Goodson is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Efficient in Week 6 win
Rotowire
Goodson rushed eight times for 51 yards and brought in four of five targets for 14 yards in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Goodson finished with a team-high amount of rushing yards thanks in large part to a game-long 33-yard run. The second-year back was also encouragingly involved as a pass catcher, with his four receptions serving as a career high. If Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is forced to sit out a third consecutive game in next Sunday's home matchup against the Dolphins, Goodson may have earned himself a much closer time share with interim lead back Trey Sermon.
Goodson rushed five times for 26 yards and brought in all three targets for 31 yards in the Colts' 37-34 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 29 yards.
Goodson saw extended action as part of the domino effect of Jonathan Taylor's (ankle) absence, with the former checking in as the change-of-pace option to lead back Trey Sermon. Goodson was efficient with his limited opportunities after checking into the game with only one touch from scrimmage this season, but he'd likely slide back into fantasy irrelevance if Taylor is able to return for a Week 6 road matchup against the Titans.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Minimal role on offense again
Rotowire
Goodson did not have a carry or target in Sunday's win over Chicago. He played just two snaps on offense.
Goodson is a clear third running back behind Jonathan Taylor and Trey Sermon. Goodson could get more playing time in passing situations when the Colts are trailing, but he's unlikely to log significant snaps unless one of the top two running backs are hurt.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Minimal role on offense
Rotowire
Goodson had one reception for two yards on his lone target in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Packers.
Goodson played on just nine of the offense's 56 snaps but got most of his usage late in the fourth quarter when the Colts were playing from behind. Jonathan Taylor was surprisingly on the bench late in the game after some drops earlier in the contest, so Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson could see more of a role in the passing game in the short term. Goodson didn't play on offense in Week 1.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Not in the gameplan
Rotowire
Goodson didn't see any snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.
Goodson won the team's No. 3 running back role, but that didn't allow him to see any snaps on offense in Week 1. Jonathan Taylor dominated the team's backfield reps while playing 95 percent of the snaps, with Trey Sermon picking up the other five percent. The Iowa product will likely not see many opportunities moving forward unless there is an injury to Taylor or Sermon, or if he can impress enough in practice to earn a larger role.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Maintains edge in position battle
Rotowire
Goodson took six carries for 35 yards and touchdown (no targets) in Saturday's 21-13 preseason win over Arizona.
Goodson was the first back used sans Jonathan Taylor (coach's decision) for the second game in a row this preseason. The 23-year-old responded with touchdowns in both exhibition contests. Fellow backup Evan Hull continues to play well behind Goodson on the depth chart, while projected No. 2 back Trey Sermon (hamstring) remains without a timeline to return. If Goodson holds pole position following next week's preseason finale, then he may find himself serving as Taylor's primary backup come Week 1. The 5-foot-9 speedster out of Iowa would actually complement the starter's bruising north-south style of running better than Sermon, who better matches Taylor's physical build without the superstar's ball skills.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Scores TD in preseason opener
Rotowire
Goodson had seven carries for 15 yards, including a one-yard touchdown, and had two receptions for one yard in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver.
Goodson and Evan Hull are battling for the No. 3 running back role and had nearly identical stats (Hull had eight carries for 16 yards and a one-yard touchdown). Goodson may have a slight lead in the competition since he entered the game before Hull. The winner of the No. 3 role could have fantasy relevance if the Colts utilize a third-down back.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Practices Thursday
Rotowire
Goodson (toe) participated in practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
A previous report noted that Goodson was dealing with a toe issue, but the running back was out there Thursday for the Colts' first training camp practice. With Jonathan Taylor entrenched as the team's top option, Goodson is in line to compete with Trey Sermon and Evan Hull for depth slotting in Indy's backfield ahead of Week 1.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Could hit PUP list
Rotowire
Goodson (toe) could be placed on Indianapolis' active/PUP list soon, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Goodson was getting some first-team reps with Jonathan Taylor missing practice earlier this offseason, but it now appears that he's dealing with a toe issue that could sideline him for the beginning of training camp. The Iowa product will likely be battling with Trey Sermon and Evan Hull for a depth role in Indianapolis' backfield once he returns to full health.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Getting some first-team reps
Rotowire
Goodson, Trey Sermon and Evan Hull got first-team reps at Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan reports.
Jonathan Taylor missed practice for personal reasons, leaving the Colts with an inexperienced group of running backs. Multiple reports have suggested Sermon and Hull will compete for the second spot on the depth chart, but Goodson's work with the starting offense suggests he's also in the running to earn a bench role. While he weighs less than 200 pounds and has taken just 19 regular-season touches since going undrafted in 2022, it wouldn't be shocking if Goodson challenged Hull for a role as the two-minute/hurry-up back. Goodson ran a 4.42 at the 2022 Combine, after piling up 2,551 rushing yards and 70 receptions in three seasons at Iowa.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Disappointing end to season
Rotowire
Goodson did not handle a carry in Saturday's 23-19 loss versus the Texans, and he failed to bring in either of his two targets.
The last meaningful play of a must-win game for Indianapolis was a dropped pass by Goodson that would have extended a potential game-winning drive with just over a minute to play. It's a difficult pill to swallow for Goodson, who had an otherwise promising season in 2023 relative to his rookie year in 2022. He has enough speed to get a second look during the offseason.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Just one carry in win
Rotowire
Goodson had one carry for three yards in Sunday's win over the Raiders.
Goodson payed just three snaps on offense as the Colts had a large lead most of the game and didn't need a pass catcher to relieve Jonathan Taylor. Instead, Trey Sermon played 18 snaps and had five carries for 32 yards mostly late in the game when Taylor was briefly sidelined.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Records 30 total yards in loss
Rotowire
Goodson had one carry for 15 yards and one reception for 15 yards on two targets in Sunday's 29-10 loss to Atlanta.
Both Goodson and Trey Sermon played 14 snaps on offense in reserve roled behind Jonathan Taylor (thumb), who made his return from a three-game absence. Goodson took on more opportunities than Sermon, who had two carries, but Goodson's role may have been enhanced by the fact that the Colts were trailing for much of the second half and went into a pass-happy game script. Zack Moss (forearm) missed Sunday's game and will slot back in as the top complement behind Taylor if he's able to play Week 17 versus the Raiders, so both Goodson and Sermon could soon be in danger of falling out of the backfield rotation.

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Signed off practice squad
Rotowire
The Colts signed Goodson off their practice squad Tuesday.
Having used the maximum three standard elevations on Goodson ahead of the last three contests, Indianapolis needed to add him to the active roster in order for him to be available for game days moving forward. With the status of both Jonathan Taylor (thumb) and Zack Moss (shoulder) up in the air as the team prepares for Sunday's visit to Atlanta, Goodson could see a significant role in the backfield along with Trey Sermon. After Moss went down in the second quarter of this past Saturday's win against the Steelers, Goodson turned 13 touches into 79 yards from scrimmage as he split work with Sermon (17 carries, 88 yards).

Colts' Tyler Goodson: Gets 13 touches Saturday
Rotowire
Goodson totaled 11 carries for 69 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 10 yards during Saturday's 30-13 victory against the Steelers.
Goodson joined the Colts' practice squad after Week 1, and he remained there until Week 12, when the team elevated him. He's proceeded to see action in three straight games via the same transaction due to Jonathan Taylor (thumb) being out the last two contests, and Goodson worked in tandem with Trey Sermon out of Indy's backfield Saturday after Zack Moss (arm) exited early in the second quarter. Taylor may be able to return next Sunday, Dec. 24 in Atlanta, but with the statuses of both him and Moss now up in the air, Goodson could be a regular in the offense in the short term. However, because he's exhausted his three allotted elevations, the Colts will need to sign Goodson to the active roster in order for him to do so.

Tyler Goodson: Earns practice squad spot
Rotowire
Goodson signed with the Colts' practice squad Tuesday.
Goodson showed enough during his tryout Monday to secure a spot on Indianapolis' practice squad. The 22-year-old back out of Iowa spent the majority of last season on Green Bay's practice squad after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent. The Colts cut ties with running back Jason Huntley to make room for Goodson.
