Texans Release Phillip Lindsay
Phillip Lindsay on Tuesday. The 27-year-old carried the ball just one time in Week 11 and has accumulated just 50 opportunities on the ground this season. Lindsay has averaged just 2.6 yards per carry while splitting opportunities with David Johnson, Rex Burkhead, and at one point Mark Ingram II. Burkhead carried the ball 18 times in Week 11, so he will have a lot of appeal on the waiver wire before Week 12 when the Texans play the New York Jets. David Johnson will likely handle passing situations, so he could have some fantasy value in deeper PPR leagues down the stretch. As for Lindsay, he is nothing more than a speculative add because of his unclear situation. He could be a good fit for the Baltimore Ravens who have just moved on from Le'Veon Bell, but it may be best to wait and see where he lands before using a waiver claim on him.

Phillip Lindsay, Jordan Wilkins Elevated To Active Roster
Jonathan Taylor (ankle) out for Week 9 against the New England Patriots on Sunday, the team elevated running backs Phillip Lindsay and Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. The Colts traded Nyheim Hines to the Bills on Tuesday, so they'll need additional depth with Taylor injured. Indy landed Zack Moss from Buffalo as well, but he's unlikely to be up to speed in his debut with the team after just being acquired on Tuesday. Deon Jackson should operate as the lead back against the Pats with Taylor out, but Lindsay did have 14 carries and caught six passes earlier this year in the two games that Taylor missed due to injury.

Phillip Lindsay Unlikely To Be Involved In Week 7
Phillip Lindsay was expected to have a bigger role against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Both Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) were sidelined for that contest. However, Deon Jackson stole the show, so Lindsay was forced to pick up the scraps. Now, Taylor and Hines are getting healthy and expected to suit up against the Tennessee Titans this week. That being said, Lindsay will likely fall down to fourth on the depth chart. He probably won't be involved at all during Sunday's game.

Phillip Lindsay Quiet In Win
Phillip Lindsay was expected to have a bigger role during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts were limited with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) out. However, Lindsay took a backseat to Deon Jackson during Sunday's victory. Jackson hauled in ten receptions for 79 yards and logged 12 carries for 42 yards. Lindsay picked up the scraps with three carries for seven yards, while hauling in three receptions for five yards through the air. The hope is that Taylor and Hines will be able to play in Week 7. Otherwise, Jackson could be in for another big game. It's unlikely that Lindsay is going to have a big role in this offense going forward.

Phillip Lindsay Elevated To Active Roster
Phillip Lindsay and D'Vonte Price to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday and also signed wide receiver Keke Coutee to the active roster and waived offensive tackle Luke Tenuta. Running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, so the Colts will roll with Deon Jackson, Lindsay and Price in their backfield this Sunday. Jackson will be the preferred flex option in deeper leagues after he saw a team-high 13 carries for 62 yards and caught all four of his targets for 29 yards on 58 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 5 overtime win over the Denver Broncos.
