Colts LB E.J. Speed is active for today's game against the Jets. He entered the day questionable with a knee issue but finished the week with a full Friday practice. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
E.J. Speed Downgraded to Doubtful
The Colts have downgraded LB E.J. Speed (knee) to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. This is a surprising turn after Speed advanced to a full practice Friday. Jaylon Carlies has run as Indy's third LB and figures to see his role elevated. The rookie hasn't made more than 2 solo tackles or 4 total tackles in a game yet, though. There's IDP upside -- especially against a Tyler Huntley-led Dolphins offense. But there's also risk that Carlies doesn't take on Speed's full role. Segun Olubi and Grant Stuard are other options. Neither has played a defensive snap yet this season.
Zaire Franklin likely out vs. Panthers
The Colts have downgraded LB Zaire Franklin to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers for the knee injury that kept him out of practice all week. That should leave Shaquille Leonard and E.J. Speed as the top two LBs for Indy in this game. Check our Week 9 LB rankings to see how high each has risen.
Zaire Franklin headed for late-game decision
Colts LB Zaire Franklin missed his third straight practice Friday with a knee injury. Mike Chappell of Fox 59 in Indianapolis reports that Franklin will be a game-time decision. Unfortunately, that game carries a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. So we might not know Franklin's status until after the first set of Sunday games has begun. On top of that, Franklin figures to carry some re-injury risk even if active. It'll be scary to sit fantasy's No. 2 scoring LB (in most formats) for anyone if he's active. But we're moving Franklin down the Week 9 LB rankings for those risk factors. E.J. Speed would likely see full or near-full playing time if Franklin goes inactive.
Zaire Franklin misses second practice
Colts LB Zaire Franklin missed his second Thursday with a knee injury he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He returned quickly, though, and missed just two of Indy's defensive snaps for the game. That makes his practice absences a bit surprising. Friday should tell us whether they were more maintenance days of if Franklin is in danger of missing Sunday's clash with the Panthers. E.J. Speed would likely pick up more playing time if Zaire Franklin can't go and makes sense as a stash right now in deeper IDP leagues.
