Colts vs Ravens: Preseason week one snap counts look at the snap counts to see what we might be able to learn. The Colts are really trying to figure out their final depth chart as the preseason hits the midpoint Indianapolis Colts T-Shirt , and there are a few interesting things of note in the details here. Let’s jump in:Offense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesJacoby Brissett saw a lot more time this week than last, going from 16 snaps in week one to 44. That’s a lot of film out there for any teams who might be interested in making a trade. Not sure the Colts are selling, but if they want to drive up the price, giving Brissett more time on the field makes sense.The competition at wide receiver is still raging. The absence of several guys with injury meant more snaps for some of the depth players. Notably, Reece Fountain and Steve Ishmael had fewer snaps than the rest of the group.Injuries have kept the offensive line playing a heavy number of snaps. They need the work to build some cohesion, but can’t risk any of these guys getting hurt. Playing just 5 snaps, it is tough to imagine running back Josh Ferguson making this roster.Defense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesHassan Ridgeway saw an increase in snaps this week, perhaps to see if he could offer an encore performance of his week one effort. He rose to the occasion nicely and could see his role increase if he keeps it up.John Simon saw just 9 snaps last week and 29 this week. They had him on the field late in the game, which was somewhat perplexing. He has been a playmaker so far this offseason, but they are clearly trying to figure out how best to use him.Antonio Morrison had just 11 snaps in this game. Whatever Chris Ballard says about him Indianapolis Colts Hats , he is looking less and less like a guy who can make this team.Signed just two days prior, S Robenson Therezie was still given a chance to play and was in on 11 snaps.Clayton Geathers was given 20 snaps, offering solid contribution. He came out midway through a drive, which indicates the team had him on a pitch count as he comes back from his minor offseason knee surgery.Special Teams#First NameLast NamePosition#First NameLast NamePosition More notable injuries, plus the Buccaneers and Bears on byes this week will create a greater sense of urgency when heading to the waiver wire.Be prepared to spend aggressively if you use a Free Agency Acquisition Budget (FAAB), or have contingent/alternative options ready in case you don't land your preferred player on waivers because an opponent has priority.RUNNING BACKSRobert Turbin, Indianapolis (0.3 percent owned): Turbin returns from a four-game suspension this week. The veteran can bring a stabilizing presence to the Colts' 29th-ranked rushing game. Turbin is an adequate ball carrier and scored seven TDs two years ago. He has flex potential, with Marlon Mack not being able to stay healthy, and Nyheim Hines possibly complementing him as a pass-catcher. The Colts play on a short week this Thursday, but add Turbin for possible impact thereafter.Alfred Blue Indianapolis Colts Hoodie , Houston (1.9): Lamar Miller has rushed for 59 yards on 24 carries in the past two games, and he sat out the fourth quarter in the Week 4 win over Indianapolis. Miller has never lived up to expectations since coming to Houston and it would not be surprising to see Blue start to cut into his workload even more.Ty Montgomery, Green Bay (40.0): Injuries are starting to pile up at the WR position for Green Bay and despite the recent buzz about Aaron Jones, this remains a pass-first offense. Montgomery is a former wide receiver and has familiarity with Aaron Rodgers. He has caught eight passes for 105 yards in his past two games and is worth an add in point-per-reception (PPR) formats. Rodgers may look to him frequently as a known target over some other less experienced pass-catchers.Mike Davis, Seattle (0.2): He was a surprise starter over Rashaad Penny when Chris Carson (ankle) was declared a late inactive on Sunday. Davis stepped in and rushed for 101 yards and two scores. Carson has been riddled by injuries early in his pro career and the rookie Penny does not seem to have the confidence of the coaching staff yet. Davis can at least be a short-term option. Don't bid too heavily, though, as he may only serve you well enough for a game or two.WIDE RECEIVERSWillie Snead, Baltimore (5.5): We are witnessing the re-emergence of the Snead we saw in his first two pro seasons with New Orleans. The resurgent Baltimore passing game has re-energized Snead fantasy-wise from a PPR perspective. He has scored in double figures in three of four games so far in that format and he is a fine bye week plug-in.Keke Coutee, Houston (0.5): The fourth round rookie subbed in for Will Fuller and tied a modern NFL record for catches in a pro debut with 11 receptions vs. Indianapolis. There have been some questions about why Fuller was removed from the game and did not see second half action, but he is injury-prone and Coutee Youth Customized Indianapolis Colts Jerseys , who finished with 109 receiving yards, has a chance to stay relevant in the Texans passing game.Chester Rogers, Indianapolis (0.3): With T.Y. Hilton hurting, Rogers caught eight passes for 85 yards and added a two-point conversion against Houston. Hilton could miss Thursday's game at New England and Rogers could be ticketed for a significant role again.David Moore, Seattle (0.0): The Seahawks need to have playmakers step forward in their passing game, and Moore, who has flashed during the preseason, has downfield and big-play promise. He caught two passes for 39 yards last week at Arizona. Doug Baldwin is a health risk and Brandon Marshall is very obviously done and will have his snap counts reduced, so Moore may have to step forward and continue to make an impact.TIGHT ENDSTyler Kroft, Cincinnati (0.4): The most obvious and possibly sought-after add this week at a very thin and unreliable position www.coltsauthorizedshops.com , Kroft has already effectively replaced Tyler Eifert before, as he caught seven TD passes last year. Andy Dalton loves to look for his tight ends in the red zone, so be prepared to bid heavily in FAAB situations.Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay (10.6): Rising star O.J. Howard is expected to miss two to four weeks with a knee injury and Jameis Winston has been re-installed as Tampa Bay's starting QB. Brate, who caught eight TD passes last year with Winston as the full-season starter, instantly becomes a TE1 candidate again.QUARTERBACKJamies Winston, Tampa Bay (8.4): He has been confirmed as the starter when the Buccaneers when return from the bye week, and with a need to throw often to a fine receiving group because of the lack of a defense and running game, game flow will frequently put Winston in high volume passing situations.
