Indianapolis Colts DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (back, personal) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Green Bay against the Packers. Herbert popped up on the injury report in Week 18 on Thursday with a limited practice and did not practice at all on Friday, putting his status in question for the season finale. Making the 25-year-old even more of a shaky fantasy option this weekend is the fact that the Bears don't play until the later window on Sunday. It's potentially bad news for fantasy managers in season-long leagues still playing for a championship, as Herbert has been Chicago's backfield leader the last two games and has gone over 100 yards rushing in each contest with two touchdowns. If he does not play or is limited against Green Bay, rookie Roschon Johnson and D'Onta Foreman will split Chicago's backfield duties.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (back) popped up on the Week 18 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Midweek injuries are usually never a good sign, especially with a team heading into a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are still fighting for a playoff spot, but the Bears aren't in postseason consideration and could decide to rest Herbert if he's at all questionable to play. If the 25-year-old can't play this weekend, it would throw Chicago's ground game into a state of flux with rookie Roschon Johnson and D'Onta Foreman. After totaling 16 total rushing yards in Weeks 14 and 15, Herbert went off for 236 yards and two touchdowns on 38 carries the last two weeks. His injury now casts doubt on him as an RB2 for fantasy managers against the Packers.

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Josh Downs caught both of his targets for 53 yards in the team's 23-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie caught a 50-yard deep shot on the team's third play from scrimmage and was then only targeted one more time for a three-yard catch. This also marks the first time Downs has cleared 50 total yards since the team's Week 8 win against the New Orleans Saints. The former Tar Heel has proved to be a viable deep-threat option for quarterback Gardner Minshew but has struggled with consistent fantasy success. He'll look to build on this performance in Week 18 when the Colts face off against the Houston Texans, and fantasy managers can look Downs' way for a boom-or-bust WR3/Flex option.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce took his only target of the day for a 58-yard touchdown in the team's 23-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. The touchdown came late in the first half, which would make for his only catch of the game. Pierce has been an underwhelming fantasy option this season, as today's win marked just the second time he's posted a double-digit fantasy outing. Pierce will look to remain involved in the team's Week 18 matchup against the Houston Texans but is largely off the fantasy radar for that contest.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught five of his seven targets for 46 yards in the team's 23-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. A rather pedestrian outing for Pittman, who hasn't been held to less than 50 yards since Week 8. Quarterback Gardner Minshew found success throwing to both wide receivers Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, which took away some volume from the team's usual No. 1 option. With that, he still led the team in targets, having four more than the next closest pass-catcher. The former USC Trojan will look to get back on track in Week 18 against the Houston Texans, and fantasy managers can rely on him as a solid WR2 option in that contest.
