Alec Pierce caught three of four targets for 74 yards in the Colts' 28-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Pierce caught a long bomb of 39 yards in this one and came second on the team in receiving yards behind only Josh Downs. He's becoming a more reliable deep threat this season than in previous years, a nice thing for dynasty managers who held on to him.

Michael Pittman Jr. caught five of eight targets for 46 yards in the Colts' 28-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Pittman led the team in targets and tied Josh Downs in receptions but was third on the team in yards. He had a chance to make a long reception but dropped it. To be fair, it was a high-speed laser from QB Anthony Richardson, but the opportunity was still there for him. Pittman is morphing into more of a WR2 for his team, with Downs being the main man and Alec Pierce operating on the outside as as deep threat.

Josh Downs caught all five of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 28-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Downs led the team in receiving yards and caught Anthony Richardson's only touchdown pass of the day. Michael Pittman may have had more targets, but Downs is operating as the top option in the passing game. Expect more the same as the season chugs on.

Jonathon Taylor ran for 57 yards on 24 carries to go along with a single catch for three yards on two targets in the Colts' 28-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Surprisingly it was the Colts passing game that proved most effective against the Jets after the New York team had been gashed by the run in recent weeks. Taylor's production took a big hit because of it, but the backfield is unquestionably his. Richardson will vulture some touchdowns, as seen twice in this game, but overall if the offense moves better, it will benefit Taylor in the long run.

Anthony Richardson completed 20-of-30 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 28-27 win over the Jets on Sunday. He also ran 10 times for 32 yards and two scores.
Fantasy Impact: Richardson completed 66% of his passes in his return to the lineup on Sunday, a promising start. His rushing ability was on display with two scores, though his efficiency was a little lacking. Fantasy managers will happily overlook that for the points he scored, but it's a step in the right direction for the young QB.

The Colts D/ST allowed 23 points on 415 yards from scrimmage with two interceptions and two sacks on Sunday against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Outside of the two interceptions, Josh Allen and Buffalo was able to move the ball down the field consistently for most of the afternoon. The Colts D/ST remains off the fantasy radar.

Adonai Mitchell caught 6-of-6 targets for 71 yards in the Colts 30-20 loss against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Mitchell saw some added opportunity in the absence of Michael Pittman. If Pittman misses another game, Mitchell would remain in the WR3/flex conversation.

Trey Sermon caught his lone target for four yards receiving in the Colts 30-20 loss against the Bills.
Fantasy Impact: Sermon did not see a carry on the day. Jonathan Taylor remains the workhorse in the Colts backfield.
