The Indianapolis Colts' tight ends have struggled significantly this season, ranking near the bottom of the NFL in key receiving categories. With a lack of opportunities and a high drop rate, the tight ends have not been able to capitalize on the few chances they receive. Coach Shane Steichen emphasizes the need for execution and trust to improve their production as the team aims for a playoff push.

Guardian Caps are protective headgear introduced in the NFL to reduce head injuries, particularly concussions. Players are required to wear them during training camp and have the option to wear them during games. The caps absorb a significant amount of impact force, contributing to a reported reduction in concussions among players who wear them. The technology has evolved since its inception in 2011, with the latest version designed specifically for NFL use.

The Indianapolis Colts have placed tight end Jelani Woods on season-ending injured reserve after he underwent surgery for turf toe. This marks a challenging period for Woods, who also missed the entirety of the previous season due to a hamstring injury, resulting in two consecutive years without playing. In his absence, tight ends Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox are expected to step up and fill the gap left by Woods.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jelani Woods, who has been on injured reserve with a hamstring injury since August, suffered a setback with his other hamstring during rehab. Head coach Shane Steichen did not commit to Woods returning in 2023. Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson have been sharing tight end duties, but they are not recommended fantasy pickups.

Colts TE Kylen Granson is set to return from a concussion and will likely be the team's lead tight end in Week 9 against the Panthers. Granson has been averaging 4.3 targets, 2.7 catches, and 28 yards per game this season.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson is expected to return for Week 9's game against the Panthers. Granson has been the team's lead tight end when healthy this season but has only scored as a top-12 PPR tight end in one out of six games. He would be a desperation fantasy play for Week 9.

Colts tight end Kylen Granson will miss Sunday's game against the Browns due to a concussion. Granson has been the team's primary tight end this season, with a significant route rate and target share.

It's recommended to avoid starting any of these players in fantasy lineups for Week 7.

Colts TE Kylen Granson is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Browns due to a concussion. His absence would open up opportunities for other tight ends on the team.

Kylen Granson led Colts TEs with 3 targets in Sunday's win over the Titans, but he saw negative development for his role. Andrew Ogletree led the position in snaps, playing 40 to Granson's 26, according to Pro Football Focus. Granson still led in routes, but that lead shrank to 12-9 -- with TE Mo Alie-Cox adding 7 routes. That 42.9% route rate marked a second straight dip vs. 56.7% in Week 4 and 67.3% in Week 3. Ogletree added 2-16 receiving on 2 targets, and Alie-Cox caught his lone target for 17 yards. With TE Jelani Woods still due back from IR soon, it's tough to see any Colts TE as worth rostering in redraft leagues right now.
