Riley Leonard

Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee injury, but he practiced in full to open the week. Right now, I'm projecting he will be under center for Indy this week. Last week, he completed 62.1% of his passes with 5.0 yards per attempt, a 65.5% highly accurate throw rate, a 75.9% catchable target rate, and a 3.4% hero throw rate. I'm honestly surprised by the accuracy numbers for Leonard, considering his passing acumen in college. He ran twice for five yards and a score last week. With the knee issue, I doubt running will be a big part of the game plan for him this week. No matter how you look at it, Leonard is a basement-level QB2. Since Week 10, Seattle has remained a nasty pass defense, allowing the fewest yards per attempt, the eighth-fewest passing yards per game, the third-lowest success rate per dropback, and the second-lowest CPOE.

Riley Leonard (knee) logged a full practice session again on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Leonard seems to be close to full health at this point, as he has been a full participant at practice all week for the Colts so far. He is on track to start in Week 15, which is less than ideal for fantasy options like Michael Pittman Jr. and Tyler Warren, who found their success with Daniel Jones (Achilles).
