Colts | Colts reportedly rejected second- and fifth-round offer for Jonathan Taylor Sat Nov 7, 09:47 AM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor's suitors include the Giants and Vikings, whom The Athletic's Jonathan Jones believes are the favorites to convince Indianapolis to trade him. Jones said he was told the Colts have already rejected an offer of a second- and fifth-round pick for Taylor.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings, Giants, and Broncos all seem to have interest in the superstar running back. There could be a bidding war going on right now, but who knows what price tag would make the Colts interested in a trade. Taylor immediately makes the team he lands on a Super Bowl contender, and those three teams are looking to separate themselves from the pack of potential playoff teams in their respective conferences. Stay tuned. |

Colts | Colts tell interested teams they 'aren't trading' Daniel Jones Sat Nov 7, 09:26 AM
The Colts have received calls on QB Daniel Jones ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Indianapolis has told interested teams that it is not trading him.
| Footballguys view: The Colts insist they are not trading Jones, but they could be just playing hardball here. Adam Schefter keeps dropping hints about the Vikings adding a quarterback, and Jones has previous experience working under Kevin O'Connell (2024). Deals get done at deadlines, and the NFL trade deadline is on Tuesday. Jones is set to start for the Colts in Week 9, but he may not be on the roster too long after that. He also may not be the starter much longer if he does stay with the Colts due to the injury guarantees on his contract for 2027. |

Colts | Colts engaged in Daniel Jones trade talks as 'multiple teams inquire' Sat Nov 7, 07:17 AM
The Colts have received calls from multiple teams inquiring about trading for QB Daniel Jones and have engaged in trade discussions involving him, sources told ESPN and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The interest comes alongside trade inquiries the Colts have received about RB Jonathan Taylor.
| Footballguys view: Tom Pelissero is reporting the Colts have told teams they're not trading Jones. That could be real, or it could be the Colts just playing hardball to get the most in return. It's speculation that Jones would be of interest to the Vikings, as he's got experience with the team under HC Kevin O'Connell (2024). The Colts are selling, but Jones is their starter for now. Once they're out of playoff contention, Jones could find his way to the bench with the injury guarantees on his contract for 2027. |

Colts | Keenan Allen practices in full Thursday after Wednesday rest day Thu Nov 5, 04:27 PM
Colts WR Keenan Allen was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being rested on Wednesday. Allen's absence from Wednesday's session was a rest day, not injury related. The Colts host the Cowboys on Sunday in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Allen is good to go for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, and he should be in line to lead the team in receiving again. Allen caught 7-of-7 targets for 67 yards in the Colts' Week 8 loss to the Jaguars. As the team continues to trade away assets before next Tuesday's trade deadline, Allen provides their offense with a steady presence. He's a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor practices in full Thursday after rest days Thu Nov 5, 03:48 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was a full participant in practice on Thursday after having rest days. Indianapolis hosts the Cowboys on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Taylor hasn't been traded yet, and the team may look to move him after Sunday's game against the Cowboys. We believe Taylor will be playing for a new team in Week 10. With a workload that is expected to be normal (that could change with him being on the trade block), Taylor is his usual RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Colts | Colts get 'plenty of calls' on Taylor, Downs, Stewart; likely to wait until after Sunday Thu Nov 5, 09:54 AM
The Colts have received "plenty of calls" on several players, including RB Jonathan Taylor, WR Josh Downs and DT Grover Stewart. The belief around the league is that, barring an offer that blows them away, Indianapolis plans to wait until after Sunday's game against the Cowboys before revisiting the offers on the table. The Colts would then make "the trades that make sense" on Monday and Tuesday ahead of the trade deadline.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is going to bring the Colts a haul, and there is likely a bidding war going on behind the scenes. At this time, reports indicate the Colts are going to wait until after Sunday to deal him. We're likely to see Taylor dealt before Tuesday's trade deadline. |

Colts | Bengals among teams 'aggressively pursuing' Jonathan Taylor ahead of deadline Thu Nov 5, 06:30 AM
The Bengals are one of a few teams "aggressively pursuing" Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported, though no deal with any team appears imminent. The Colts have started a fire sale following the firing of general manager Chris Ballard, and Taylor is widely expected to be moved before the deadline, but Indianapolis appears firm on getting top-tier value for him. Cincinnati's passing game has been productive, while its running game has struggled this season. CBS broadcaster J.J. Watt said the Bengals "make sense for a guy like him because of what their offense has in terms of the passing game and they just haven't been able to get going on the ground."
| Footballguys view: The Bengals have one of the league's best passing attacks, and adding Taylor would make their offense even more deadly. Taylor is set to play in Week 9 even though he's likely to be dealt before the trade deadline on Tuesday. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor limited Wednesday on partial 'rest' day Wed Nov 4, 03:43 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, with the team listing it as a partial "rest" day. Taylor was not listed with an injury.
| Footballguys view: Taylor has not gotten traded -- yet. Teams like the Broncos, Giants, Vikings, and others should have interest. However, the Colts' asking price might be pretty high, and teams are so far hesitant to cough up a package for Taylor that could include a first-round pick. |

Colts | Steichen says Daniel Jones will remain Colts' starting QB Mon Nov 2, 02:21 PM
Colts QB Daniel Jones will remain the team's starting quarterback, head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday. Jones was benched for Anthony Richardson after throwing two interceptions in Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars, and Steichen said after the game that he was evaluating everything, including whether Jones would remain the starter.
| Footballguys view: On Sunday, Steichen benched Jones late in the game and gave Anthony Richardson his first playing time of the season. Richardson threw two passes, completing both of them for eight yards, and also took a sack for 10 yards. Richardson also had a five-yard run. As PFT noted, the Colts have already traded away two starters and would surely be willing to trade either Jones or Richardson if any other team wants them, but for now Steichen says he's coaching to win, and that Jones gives him the best chance to win. |

Colts | Taylor held to 23 yards on 8 carries in loss to Jaguars Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ran 8 times for 23 yards, also caught 4 passes for 24 yards on 5 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.7.
| Footballguys view: The Colts are waving the white flag on the season, and Taylor's numbers will reflect that -- as long as he is with the team. The Giants, Vikings, Bengals, Broncos, and Packers have all been mentioned as possible destinations in a trade, but it's not clear if any of those teams will be willing to meet the Colts' demands in a trade, as they reportedly view Taylor as a franchise cornerstone and tone-setter. If you have Taylor on your fantasy team, root for a trade. It's probably too late to sell high. Seth McGowan is the next man up if Taylor is traded before the Week 9 game against the Cowboys. |

Daniel Jones benched for Anthony Richardson Sr. after two interceptions vs. Jaguars, Steichen 'evaluating' everything Sun Nov 1, 03:53 PM
Colts QB Daniel Jones was benched in favor of QB Anthony Richardson Sr. with a little over 11 minutes left in Sunday's blowout loss to the Jaguars. Jones was 19-of-28 for 144 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a Jacksonville score, when he was replaced. He opened the third quarter as the starter after the first interception and threw a touchdown pass to prevent a shutout, but was pulled after LB Branson Combs picked him off on his first drive of the fourth quarter. Head coach Shane Steichen had offered a vote of confidence in Jones before Sunday's game.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars also blew out the Patriots and Browns at home earlier this season, but the Colts still looked like a team that had given up on the season in this game. Next week they will face a Cowboys team that thought they had won when they were up 14 points in the third quarter and Gardner Minshew II got in for a benched Jacoby Brissett. Head coach (for now) Shane Steichen said he is "evaluating" whether Jones is the starter going forward, among other things. He will get more questions about starting quarterback (for now) Daniel Jones this week. |

Colts | Colts 'open to trading' Jonathan Taylor, Broncos among five interested teams Sat Oct 31, 11:14 AM
The Colts are now open to trading RB Jonathan Taylor ahead of the trade deadline, Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport reported. The Broncos, Packers, Vikings, Giants and Seahawks have shown at least some level of interest in Taylor, with the Vikings reported as the frontrunner. The return for Taylor appears to be a second-round pick plus more, according to reports, and the Colts, unsatisfied with the offers so far, are telling teams to send in their best offers now. Indianapolis has already traded G Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and DT DeForest Buckner to the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: There are rumblings that the Colts are already turning down second-round pick packages for Taylor. We'll see if some team ups the offer for the superstar back, and a team like the Broncos or Vikings may be the frontrunners. If the Broncos beat the Chiefs on Sunday, they would be in the driver's seat for the AFC West title, and they might be more open to making this big move. Stay tuned... we have a feeling Taylor will be playing elsewhere in the near future. |

Colts | Colts haven't discussed benching Daniel Jones, but 2027 injury guarantee could factor Sat Oct 31, 08:49 AM
The Colts haven't discussed benching QB Daniel Jones, who is still working back from a torn Achilles and has been playing with depleted weapons. However, a $10.51 million 2027 injury guarantee in Jones' contract could become a factor if and when Indianapolis is out of playoff contention.
| Footballguys view: Colts HC Shane Steichen said this week that he has a 'ton of faith' in Jones. That's a great sentiment, but most feel that a switch to Anthony Richardson could be coming in the near future. Once the 2-5 Colts are officially eliminated from playoff contention, Jones could find his way to the bench. |

Colts | Colts turned down a 2027 second-round pick plus another pick for Jonathan Taylor Sat Oct 31, 08:34 AM
The Colts have already turned down a 2027 second-round draft pick plus an additional pick for RB Jonathan Taylor. The rejection makes clear Indianapolis would want a premium to trade the face of the franchise.
| Footballguys view: We imagine a team like the Vikings or Broncos may have been tossing out some possible trades for the superstar back. The most recent example of a back of Taylor's caliber being traded is Christian McCaffrey back in 2022. The 49ers traded the Panthers four picks, one second-round pick (2023), one third-round pick (2023), one fourth-round pick (2023), and one fifth-round pick (2024). Expect a similar haul for Taylor - if not more given the market for his services. |

Colts | Colts now 'open to trading' Jonathan Taylor, Giants among interested teams Sat Oct 31, 07:45 AM
The Indianapolis Colts are now open to trading RB Jonathan Taylor, ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday. Multiple teams have reached out to Indianapolis, and those talks are said to be "active and ongoing." The Giants have interest in Taylor, though the price "is going to be steep."
| Footballguys view: The Colts have discussed wanting a first-round pick and a defensive tackle in exploratory compensation talks with at least one team in exchange for Taylor, per Josina Anderson. There are at least a few teams, including the Giants, that could be in the mix for Taylor - but the price tag is something the Colts are not budging on (yet). |

Colts | Tyler Warren 'good to go' for Sunday at Jaguars Fri Oct 30, 12:46 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday. Warren had missed two straight games with the groin injury and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Warren suffered this groin injury in practice leading up to Week 6, so the severity was largely unknown. He was able to start this week with a couple of limited practices and is now cleared for Sunday. There's been little to be excited about in the Colts offense this year, but Warren could help. As a short target underneath, he averaged 7.8 targets over his last four games. Warren, even coming off the injury, is a fantasy TE1 this week against the Jaguars. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor practicing Friday amid trade speculation Fri Oct 30, 12:27 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was practicing on Friday. Taylor has been the subject of trade speculation, though head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday that Taylor has not requested a trade.
| Footballguys view: Taylor has scoffed at the idea of a rebuild. He's tried to ignore the trade speculation while maintaining his image as a consummate professional. The Colts remain steadfast in their desire to get a first-round pick in return, so a deal is unlikely unless they change their asking price. Fantasy managers should hope for a trade after the team shipped off Quenton Nelson. Taylor has proven to be a bit game-script-dependent in Indianapolis, and game scripts are not expected to favor him for the rest of this season. He can be started as a back-end RB1 this week, but his floor is shaky if he can't score early. |

Colts | Josh Downs still practicing amid reported trade request Fri Oct 30, 12:05 PM
Colts WR Josh Downs is still practicing amid his reported trade request, according to a Friday update. Downs' trade request was first reported on Wednesday, and WR-needy teams have called the Colts about him.
| Footballguys view: Downs made his desire for a trade public, but he appears willing to play until then. Downs could theoretically play two more games before the deadline, but the Colts have shown a willingness to deal this season, and he could get traded before then. The Colts offense has been horrendous lately, and Downs can't be relied on as much more than a WR3. Hopefully, a change of scenery can move him up the fantasy rankings soon. |

Colts | Tyler Warren limited again Thursday as Colts return to the field Thu Oct 29, 04:00 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was a limited participant again on Thursday, the Colts' first on-field practice of the week after a walkthrough on Wednesday. Warren, who has missed the last two games, was also limited on Wednesday. TE Drew Ogletree (knee) was limited as well ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Warren has been out of action for a couple of games, but this week he's been limited in two days of practice. Another limited practice on Friday isn't total clarity, but a full participation would make it seem like he's ready to return in Week 8. Stay tuned, and check back on Friday to see what Warren's status is. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade, per Shane Steichen Wed Oct 28, 01:50 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade, head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Taylor does not need to request a move; teams should be circling around the Colts to see if they can add him via trade. With Quenton Nelson traded to the Seahawks on Tuesday, the floodgates could open as the Colts are sellers. Taylor is still a great back, and he could be a foundational player going forward. However, he could be seen as someone the Colts trade away to get more assets. |

| Footballguys view: The Colts, who dealt OL Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks earlier Tuesday, "surely aren't done" making moves, "but that doesn't mean everything must go," with ESPN's Adam Schefter sharing the same view on Taylor. There are "still two weeks left for things and minds to change" before the trade deadline. |

Colts WR Keenan Allen is among the Indianapolis names to watch ahead of the trade deadline. The Colts are willing to listen to offers on everyone after agreeing to trade G Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Allen has emerged as one of the Colts' most consistent offensive performers in recent weeks. He's been mentioned in reports suggesting the Bills would be interested. Allen is no longer the elite receiver he once was, but he is still a good veteran option and could be a safety net for Josh Allen. Stay tuned. |

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Sunday that he has not considered a quarterback change because he has "a lot of faith" in QB Daniel Jones. Steichen's comments came after Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: The Colts' season is basically over, so don't be surprised if Steichen's tune changes a little next week unless the Colts can upset the Jaguars. The team might want to see what they have in Anthony Richardson Sr. before hitting the reset button in the offseason. Jones didn't play well against the Vikings, but to be fair to him, most quarterbacks are going to have trouble moving the ball against them this season. |

Colts | Packers, Seahawks, Broncos, Vikings listed as interested in Jonathan Taylor Sun Oct 25, 10:50 AM
The Packers, Seahawks, Broncos, and Vikings are teams interested in Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, ESPN's Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport reported Sunday. The Colts will try to win their next three games, against the Vikings, Jaguars, and Cowboys, before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. If that plan does not go well, the Colts could deal resources and build for the future.
| Footballguys view: According to the report, the Packers inquired about Taylor (a University of Wisconsin product) in 2023, but the talks went nowhere after the Colts asked for Christian Watson and more. They just got Josh Jacobs back, but have coveted Taylor for a while. The Broncos and Seahawks backfields have been maybe the two most disappointing in the league, while the Vikings are trying to win a Super Bowl with a ball-control/defense-based winning blueprint, so Taylor would make a strength stronger. |

There would be at least a few teams interested in a superstar back like Taylor if he's made available. Stay tuned -- we're expecting the Colts to be deal-makers in the near future. |

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday. Warren did not practice all week, missing Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday sessions.
| Footballguys view: We'll get another week without Warren. He suffered the injury in practice leading up to Week 6's game, missed the game, and hasn't practiced since. The Colts face an undefeated Vikings squad this week. Keenan Allen can eat on short targets and has value in PPR leagues as a low-ceiling WR3, but Jonathan Taylor is the only guy with any legitimate value on this roster.

| Footballguys view: If Taylor is on the block as the Colts look to the future, several teams would be interested in the superstar running back. The trade deadline is still around a few weeks away, but there might be some activity in the NFL soon. Taylor is going to be a top target, along with Saquon Barkley and Tony Pollard, for teams looking to trade for running back help. |

Colts | Colts relieve GM Chris Ballard of his duties Mon Oct 19, 09:58 AM

Ballard's tenure produced eight different Week 1 starting quarterbacks from 2017 through 2026: Scott Tolzien, Andrew Luck, Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Anthony Richardson (2023 and 2024) and Daniel Jones (2025 and 2026).
Link to story Colts | Colts sticking with Daniel Jones as starter after two-INT loss: 'He's got to play better' Sun Oct 18, 07:05 PM
Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed after Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Titans that QB Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback. "I think he knows he's got to play better," Steichen said. Jones went 22-of-42 for 269 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, including one in the red zone, and now has six interceptions to four touchdowns this season as the Colts fell to 2-4.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Stephen Holder notes, Jones hasn't come close to matching the run he had at the start of last season, which was the basis for the Colts giving him a new deal following his ruptured Achilles in December. Jones had two more interceptions Sunday, giving him nine turnovers, one behind Justin Herbert's league-high 10 (he has three lost fumbles to go with the INTs). The turnovers are undermining offensive consistency, which has been a challenge in itself. With Anthony Richardson Sr. the next man up, it appears the Colts are willing to weather more inconsistency from Jones. |
