Fades in second half of season
Alie-Cox had one reception for four yards on his lone target in Sunday's loss to Houston.
Analysis: Alie-Cox entered 2022 as a potential sleeper tight end and red-zone target, but his production declined in almost every area. He had just 19 receptions for 189 yards and three touchdowns. He was also phased out of the offense in the second half of 2022 with just six receptions and 10 targets over his last eight games.

Held catchless in loss
Alie-Cox failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Alie-Cox was a complete nonfactor Sunday while playing 31 of the Colts' 58 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, rookie tight end Jelani Woods was on the field for 35 snaps and saw four targets. The veteran continues to see his opportunities shrink with the emergence of Woods on offense. Despite his limited usage, Alie-Cox will look to bounce back when the Colts host the Texans in Week 18.

Minimal role in passing attack
Alie-Cox caught one of two targets for two yards during Monday's 20-3 defeat versus the Chargers.
Analysis: Alie-Cox saw 10 fewer snaps than Jelani Woods, and the former failed to make an impact in the passing game again. Woods, a rookie third-round pick, has caught 14 of 19 targets for 205 yards over his past four games and appears to have surpassed Alie-Cox on the depth chart. Alie-Cox's playing time figures to drop even more if Kylen Granson (ankle) returns to action before the end of the campaign.

No receptions Saturday
Alie-Cox did not have a reception on one target in Saturday's overtime loss at Minnesota.
Analysis: Alie-Cox played more snaps and ran more routes than Jelani Woods and Kylen Granson, but was a distant third in the passing game. (Granson had two receptions for 34 yards and Woods had one for 36 yards). Alie-Cox looks like the third option among the tight ends in an offense that's struggling, making him a poor fantasy option.

Loses fumble on lone reception
Alie-Cox had one reception for six yards on his lone target but lost a fumble in Sunday's loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Kylen Granson started at tight end and played more snaps than Alie-Cox (41 to 31). Alie-Cox was also third in routes run among the tight ends, as Granson had 22 and Jelani Woods had 12, compared to Alie-Cox's 10. Given Alie-Cox had a key fumble, he's likely to be the third option among the tight ends in the passing game when Indy returns from its bye week.

Two receptions in loss
Alie-Cox had two receptions for 14 yards on three targets in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Alie-Cox got the start at tight end and played 22 snaps on offense, but was outperformed by rookie Jelani Woods, who had eight receptions for 98 yards on 39 snaps. It's possible Woods takes over as the primary tight end target after this breakout game, but all three Colts tight ends have had their moments this season, including Kylen Granson, who was out Monday with an illness. Alie-Cox isn't a dependable fantasy asset and isn't even getting many red zone looks despite his size -- he's 6-5, but…read more

Targeted once in Week 11
Alie-Cox caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: With fellow tight end Jelani Woods (shoulder) inactive, Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson were each targeted only once. Since racking up a season-high 85 yards in Week 4, Alie-Cox has mustered only 34 yards over seven subsequent games.

Untargeted on big snap count
Alie-Cox went without a target while playing 36 of the Colts' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Even though he benefited from a slight boost in playing time with one member of the Colts' three-man tight-end committee out of the lineup in Jelani Woods (shoulder), Alie-Cox couldn't come through with any useful numbers. The bulk of Alie-Cox's fantasy production for the season came Week 3, when he scored two touchdowns and caught six passes for 85 yards. In his other nine appearances, Alie-Cox has mustered only seven receptions for 64 yards and no scores.

Suits up Sunday
Alie-Cox (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Alie-Cox missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but returned to a limited session Friday, setting the stage for him to be available Sunday. The tight end recorded a 6-85-2 receiving line in Week 4, but apart from that Alie-Cox hasn't hauled in more than two passes in any game this season while working in a timeshare with Kylen Granson and Jelani Woods (shoulder).

Questionable for Sunday's game
Alie-Cox (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders after practicing in a limited capacity Friday.
Analysis: Alie-Cox put up a 6-85-2 receiving line Week 4 but otherwise hasn't caught more than two passes in any game this season while working in a timeshare with Kylen Granson and Jelani Woods (shoulder). With Woods out this weekend, both Alie-Cox and Granson could get a little more playing time than usual.

Dealing with foot/ankle injury
Alie-Cox isn't practicing Wednesday and is sporting a protective boot over his right foot, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: With Jelani Woods (shoulder) also missing practice, Kylen Granson is the only healthy tight end on the active roster as the Colts and interim head coach Jeff Saturday begin preparations for their Week 10 trip to Las Vegas. The team has deployed a three-man committee at tight end for most of the season, limiting Alie-Cox to four targets in five games since his 6-85-2 explosion Week 4 against the Titans. The three tight ends have combined for only 17.4 percent of Indianapolis' targets and 17.6…read more

Two receptions in loss
Alie-Cox had two receptions for 13 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at New England.
Analysis: Alie-Cox had his first reception since Week 5 as he had just one catch and two targets in his previous five games. He could see an increase in targets if Jelani Woods misses time with a shoulder injury, but Indy's struggles in the passing game make any of the team's tight ends a long-shot fantasy option.

No receptions again
Alie-Cox did not have a catch and had one target in Sunday's loss to Washington
Analysis: That's three consecutive games where Alie-Cox hasn't had a reception. He didn't even have a target the prior two games. While Alie-Cox got the start at tight end, Kylen Granson had the most snaps on offense (32, compared to 29 for Alie-Cox), and all three tight ends went out on about the same number of routes (12, compared 13 for Alie-Cox and 10 for Jelani Woods). There were not any major changes in tight end usage, despite the change to Sam Ehlinger at quarterback.

No targets again Sunday
Alie-Cox did not have a target nor reception but played 24 snaps on offense in Sunday's loss at Tennessee.
Analysis: That's two concecutive games where Alie-Cox hasn't had a target even though he's playing about the same as the other tight ends. Alie-Cox ran 15 routes compaired to 18 for Kylen Granson and 14 for Jelani Woods. None of the three was a factor Sunday with a combined two receptions and three targets. Alie-Cox appears to have fallen to the third option in the passing game among tight ends and may not have any fantasy value other than the rare red-zone target.

No targets Sunday
Alie-Cox did not have a target nor reception but played 28 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Alie-Cox's role in the offense continues to shrink as Kylen Granson got the start and had four targets. Alie-Cox also had the least playing time of the team's tight ends (31 snaps apiece for Granson and Jelani Woods). While the trio has alternated as the top target so far this season, the last two games appear to be trending away from Alie-Cox.

Held in check Thursday
Alie-Cox secured his lone target for seven yards during the Colts' 12-9 overtime win over the Broncos on Thursday.
Analysis: Alie-Cox found the end zone twice during the Colts' Week 4 loss to the Titans, but he wasn't very involved in the passing game during Thursday's low-scoring matchup. The 29-year-old has been held under 10 receiving yards in three of the first five games of the season.

Two touchdowns against Titans
Alie-Cox recorded six receptions on six targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Alie-Cox entered Sunday's game having tallied only four catches for 44 yards across the first three games of the season. However, he emerged to lead Indianapolis' pass catchers in receptions and yards, highlighted by touchdown grabs of 14 and seven yards. Alie-Cox also recorded the Colts' second-longest play from scrimmage. Matt Ryan distributed targets to a wider range of receivers against the Titans, and if that continues, Alie-Cox is a candidate to see sustained increased production.

Just one reception
Alie-Cox had one reception for nine yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Alie-Cox's role on the offense continues to shrink even though he played the most snaps and ran the most routes of Indy's tight ends (Alie-Cox with 42 snaps compared to 16 for Jelani Woods and 30 for Kylen Granson). He already was splitting time with Granson in terms of targets and routes, but then Woods caught two touchdowns Sunday. Alie-Cox's 6-foot-5 height looked set to make him a primary red-zone target of Matt Ryan, but he may have been supplanted by the 6-foot-7 Woods in that role as…read more

Meager receiving role again
Cox had one reception for nine yards on three targets in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
Analysis: It was another bad game for Alie-Cox's outlook in the offense. He wasn't on the field to begin the game in favor of Kylen Granson. Alie-Cox played the same number of snaps as Granson (27) and went out on fewer routes (20 to 17), though Alie-Cox did have three targets compared to Granson's two. It looks like Alie-Cox isn't even the top tight end in the passing offense, though neither player is getting a lot of action.

Just two targets in season opener
Alie-Cox had two receptions for 26 yards on two targets in Sunday's tie at Houston.
Analysis: Alie-Cox played on 50 of the offense's 92 snaps but went out for a pass on just 20 snaps. He started at tight end but played fewer snaps than Kylen Granson (51) and went out on fewer pass routes (30-20). Alie-Cox still could be a big factor in the red zone given he's 6-foot-5, but his lack of targets in a game where Matt Ryan attempted 50 passes is discouraging.

No catches in preseason finale
Alie-Cox failed to bring in his only target in the Colts' 27-10 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Alie-Cox's lackluster preseason ended with a thud Saturday night, calling into question how snaps might be divided at tight end for the Colts come the regular season. Alie-Cox appeared set to lose some playing time to rookie Andrew Ogletree prior to the latter's season-ending knee injury, but second-year pro Kylen Granson and rookie third-round pick Jelani Woods could be threats as well beginning with the Week 1 divisional road matchup against the Texans on Sept. 11.

Starts first preseason game
Alie-Cox started Saturday's 27-24 preseason loss to the Bills but did not tally a stat.
Analysis: Alie-Cox started along with fellow skill-position players Nyheim Hines, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Parris Campbell. Alie-Cox didn't earn a target but was on the field regularly and appears to have a clear grip on the top spot of the tight end depth chart. Alie-Cox tallied a career-high four touchdowns in 2021 and could serve as a favorite target of Matt Ryan near the end zone in 2022.

Back at practice
Alie-Cox (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: He suffered the injury Saturday but is now back at practice three days later. The Colts mostly have used Alie-Cox as a blocker (and sometimes a goal-line threat) to this point in his career, but he could take on a larger role this season with Jack Doyle having retired and the competition for snaps coming from young, untested players (2021 fourth-round pick Kylen Granson and 2022 third-rounder Jelani Woods).

Tweaks knee
Alie-Cox tweaked his left knee during Saturday's practice and was not able to finish the session, 107.5 Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: The injury isn't thought to be serious. He was able to stay in for another play after hurting his knee and later left. With Jack Doyle's retirement, Alie-Cox is poised to be the team's top tight end and his target share and red-zone usage could increase significantly.

Re-ups with Colts for three years
Alie-Cox agreed Monday to re-sign with the Colts on a three-year, $18 million deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 6-foot-5, 267-pound Alie-Cox has proven not only to be a serviceable blocker since joining the Colts as an undrafted rookie in 2017, but he's also used his big frame and athleticism to become a reliable threat in the red zone. After coming to terms with Indianapolis on a new deal, Alie-Cox now appears set to move into an expanded role following the retirement of starting tight end Jack Doyle.

Alie-Cox had two receptions for 27 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
Analysis: Alie-Cox had 24 receptions for 316 yards and four touchdowns on 45 targets while playing all 17 games this season. It looked like he was going to become a larger factor in the offense, but he had just four receptions in a seven-game stretch in the middle of the year. He's set to become a free agent and could have a significant role in 2022 if re-signed, as Jack Doyle is contemplating retirement.

Earns five targets
Alie-Cox recorded three receptions on five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Alie-Cox matched his highest target total of the season, though he wasn't able to deliver major production with the opportunity. He did manage a pair of double-digit gains that went for 17 and 10 yards. Though Jack Doyle was active after dealing with ankle and knee issues throughout the week, he may have suited up at less than full strength. If that remains the case for a Week 18 matchup against Jacksonville, Alie-Cox could maintain some increased volume.

Two catches in win
Alie-Cox caught two of his four targets for 42 yards during Saturday's 22-16 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Jack Doyle (ankle, knee) played just two offensive snaps before leaving the game with a pair of injuries. His absence opened the door for Alie-Cox to record his most receptions since Week 7 and his most receiving yards since Week 5. If Doyle is unable to play in Week 17, then Alie-Cox could be a viable streaming option against the Raiders on Sunday.

One catch for zero yards
Alie-Cox catch his only target for zero yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.

No receptions Sunday
Alie-Cox failed to catch his only target in Sunday's win at Buffalo.
Analysis: While his lack of production was mostly due to game script (Indy attempted just 20 passes amid 264 yards rushing), it's also the fourth consecutive game in which he's had less of a role in the passing game than Jack Doyle (three receptions at Buffalo). The Indy passing game should be more active next week against Tampa Bay, but Alie-Cox needs to show more consistency before he can be trusted in most fantasy formats.

Analysis: Alie-Cox played on 35 of the offense's 64 snaps but went out for a pass on just 17 snaps. While he ran slightly fewer routes than usual, it was also a game where the Colts emphasized the run. Still, it looked like Alie-Cox was emerging as the top tight end in the passing game over Jack Doyle, but Doyle has six receptions and two touchdowns in the last three games compared to two receptions and no touchdowns for Alie-Cox.

No receptions Sunday
Alie-Cox did not have a reception despite four targets in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Alie-Cox played on 39 of the offense's 80 snaps and went out for a pass on 25 plays, both about his season average. It was Jack Doyle who had a touchdown catch in the loss despite Alie-Cox having four touchdowns in his last four games. Still, there wasn't a significant change in either tight end's workload, so we wouldn't be too worried about his lack of receptions. Alie-Cox is a red-zone threat, but his upside is limited given his low target share.

Hits pay dirt yet again
Alie-Cox caught all three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-18 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Alie-Cox contributed his fourth touchdown over the past four weeks, and he has quickly established himself as one of Carson Wentz's favorite red-zone targets. The veteran tight end doesn't bring a ton of upside to the table while splitting time with Jack Doyle, but he could be used in a pinch for those needing help at the position while he maintains this scoring hot streak.

Analysis: Alie-Cox made his only catch count against a Texans defense that has struggled to defend tight ends.

He'll look to build on his recent momentum in Week 7 against the 49ers.

Alie-Cox caught three of four targets for 50 yards in Monday night's 31-25 overtime loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Alie-Cox couldn't follow up his two-touchdown outing in Week 4 with another score, but he at least caught three passes for the second straight game while posting his highest yardage total this season. Although he's a complementary target within the Colts offense, Cox has made enough plays the past couple weeks to boost his fantasy stock ahead of a Week 6 matchup against the Texans.

Finds end zone twice in win
Alie-Cox secured three of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the Colts' 27-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Alie-Cox became the surprise beneficiary of both of Carson Wentz's touchdown passes, recording three- and 11-yard scoring grabs in the second half to help seal the Colts' first win of the season. The fourth-year tight end has already matched a career high with the pair of scores, and perhaps his connection with Wentz will help lead to the athletic Alie-Cox surpassing the career-best 31-394 line he produced while working with Philip Rivers in 2020.

Alie-Cox had one reception on two targets for 18 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Alie-Cox saw significantly less playing time than in Week 1, as he played just 27 snaps compared to 49 snaps for Jack Doyle, whereas the two were about equal in snaps last week. Alie-Cox at least had a reception after failing to make a catch in the season opener. While he could emerge with a larger role and find usage as a red-zone option (where the Colts have struggled), he's not a significant part of the passing offense at the moment.

It looks like both will split the targets and playing time at tight end. Kyle Granson was a non-factor with just seven snaps on offense and no targets.

Gets start at tight end
Cox started at tight end and didn't have a reception on his lone target in Saturday's preseason win at Minnesota.
Analysis: Cox got the start at tight end with Jack Doyle sitting out. While Cox didn't show much on offense, he proved he's healthy after missing two weeks of practice due to a knee injury. Doyle looks set to remain the starter, and the Colts value Alie-Cox's blocking and in-line work, but Alie-Cox could emerge as a red-zone threat due to his height (6-foot-5) and promising hands.

Back at practice
Alie-Cox (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Analysis: After missing about two weeks of practice, Alie-Cox should have time to prep for an appearance in one or both of the Colts' remaining preseason games. He's competing for snaps in what could be a committee at tight end, with Jack Doyle and rookie Kylen Granson being the main competition for snaps/targets. Alie-Cox produced 394 yards on 39 targets last season, but the Colts seem to value his blocking and in-line work as much as, or more than, his athleticism.

Dealing with knee injury
Alie-Cox sat out practice Wednesday with a knee injury, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: The tight end didn't participate in the session, but he attended practice as an observer, suggesting the injury isn't too serious. Alie-Cox, Jack Doyle and Kylen Granson are competing for tight end snaps, after Doyle and Alie-Cox shared the position with Trey Burton in 2020. Alie-Cox doesn't have an obvious path to more than three or four targets per game, but he made a good impression last season with 394 receiving yards on only 39 targets (10.1 YPT).

Analysis: The 27-year-old is a restricted free agent, and the Colts clearly want to retain him for 2021. Alie-Cox caught 31 passes for 394 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games last season. Any interested team would need to give up a second-round pick in order to sign Alie-Cox to an offer sheet, so he's likely to remain in Indianapolis.

Has career season in 2020
Alie-Cox closed out the 2020 season catching 31 of 39 targets for 394 yards and two touchdowns through 15 games.
Analysis: After his third campaign with the Colts, Alie-Cox will be a restricted free agent this offseason on the heels of career highs in receptions, targets and yards. His snap count has steadily increased along the way, but he had to contend with Jack Doyle and Trey Burton for work at tight end. Having said that, Alie-Cox had more receptions than both of his accomplished position mates this year. Burton's contract expires after the season, while Doyle is signed through 2022, so Alie-Cox may only have…read more

Snares one pass
Alie-Cox caught his lone target for a 20-yard gain in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Three weeks removed from leading the Colts' tight end room in snaps, Alie-Cox finished as the clear No. 3 with just 23 snaps on offense, behind Jack Doyle (38) and Trey Burton (34). The 27-year-old tight end has produced fewer than 24 receiving yards in seven straight games.

Upgrades to full practice
Alie-Cox (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Alie-Cox has been managing the knee injury for much of the season, but he hasn't been forced to miss a game since Week 6. With Alie-Cox returning to full participation at practice Thursday, he's now on track to be available for Sunday's game against the Steelers. The 27-year-old's playing time and usage in the passing game has been capped for much of the season due to the Colts' three-man timeshare at tight end, but both Alie-Cox and Trey Burton could be in store for expanded roles Week 16 if…read more

Limited to start week
Alie-Cox (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Alie-Cox's bothersome knee has routinely capped his practice reps in recent weeks, but unless he's dealing with a setback, he should be able to suit up Sunday against the Steelers. If that's the case, he'll likely be sharing snaps at tight end with Jack Doyle and Trey Burton.

Snares two passes
Alie-Cox caught both targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Alie-Cox produced the same exact stat line as Jack Doyle, while Trey Burton caught just one pass for eight yards. The trio of tight ends has just one touchdown over the past four weeks, and none of the players have produced more than 50 yards in a given outing.

Set to play vs. HOU
Alie-Cox (knee) is active Week 15 against the Texans.
Analysis: Alie-Cox has been tending to a lingering knee injury that cost him multiple days of practice this week, but it won't stop him from suiting up as the Colts' third active tight end. The problem here is that Alie-Cox was out-snapped and out-targeted by both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton in Week 14, so there's no guarantee he's a notable part of the offensive game plan in this matchup.

Tagged as questionable
Alie-Cox (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Coach Frank Reich said Friday that Alie Cox's knee injury -- which has been lingering since October -- has been "nagging more recently." The 27-year-old tight end made his first appearance at practice this week on Friday, turning in a limited session. He'll likely be monitored closely leading up to game time. Meanwhile, position mates Jack Doyle and Trey Burton both have clean bills of health heading into the Week 15 matchup.

DNP for second straight day
Alie-Cox (knee) missed a second consecutive practice session Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 93.5 the Fan reports.
Analysis: The VCU standout banged up his knee during Indianapolis' Week 14 triumph over the Raiders. Though he was ultimately able to return and round out his workload at 20 offensive snaps, back-to-back practice DNPs shed doubt on the likelihood of Alie-Cox suiting up Sunday against the Texans. An output of eight combined receptions for 161 yards and one TD between Weeks 2 and 3 caught the eye of deep-league fantasy managers, but Alie-Cox has not exceeded 45 receiving yards in a game since that point.

Misses practice Wednesday
Alie-Cox (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Alie-Cox missed part of last week's win over the Raiders after hurting his knee in the first quarter, but he later returned to the contest. Fellow tight end Trey Burton also missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, so Jack Doyle could enjoy some breathing room in the normally crowded Colts tight end rotation if either or both of Alie-Cox and Burton is unable to play Sunday against the Texans.

Snags three passes
Alie-Cox caught three of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Alie-Cox out-snapped both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton for a second straight week, logging 44 snaps on offense (64 percent). That hasn't translated into much production though. In fact, he hasn't caught more than three passes or produced more than 50 yards in a game since his Week 2 breakout against the Vikings, when he posted a 5-111-0 line. His usage sets him on the right track, but it's often Burton who gets the looks in the red zone.

Just two receptions Sunday
Alie-Cox had two receptions for 19 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Alie-Cox was out there for 38 of the offense's 74 snaps. He played the most snaps among the Indy tight ends, but he had fewer targets than Trey Burton (three receptions on six targets, including a touchdown). The Indy passing game utilizes all three tight ends, so Alie-Cox isn't going to get many receptions per week, and Burton has overtaken him as a red-zone target.

Alie-Cox had two receptions for 16 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Alie-Cox played on 43 of the offense's 84 snaps. Meanwhile, Trey Burton played on 24 snaps and Jack Doyle played on 45 snaps. Alie-Cox went out on 17 routes, which led the tight ends. However, it's hard to depend on any of the trio's production with all three active in the passing game.

Avoids Week 11 injury designation
Alie-Cox (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Though Alie-Cox didn't take part in Friday's practice, the fact that he's not even being listed as questionable for Sunday's game suggests his lack of activity to conclude the week was merely for maintenance purposes. Alie-Cox has seen an uptick in work over the past three weeks, playing between 42 and 66 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps in those contests while hauling in nine of 11 targets for 99 yards.

Analysis: A knee issue has plagued Alie-Cox for exactly one month, resulting in one absence Week 6. Otherwise, he's suited up in both of the Colts' last two games en route to six catches (on seven targets) for 80 yards. Alie-Cox may benefit from the team listing Jack Doyle (concussion) as inactive, but he'll still have to contend with Trey Burton for looks from Philip Rivers.

Deemed questionable for Thursday
Alie-Cox (knee) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report but is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: The Colts held three walk-through sessions this week in lieu of practices, with Alie-Cox going down as a non-participant Monday and a limited participant Tuesday before upgrading to full activity. As such, Alie-Cox probably has a better than 50-50 chance of playing than his questionable designation implies, and he could have a heightened role if he suits up with fellow tight end Jack Doyle (concussion) ruled out for the contest.

Alie-Cox (knee) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Alie-Cox managed to play through his lingering knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Ravens, during which he caught all three of his targets for 43 yards, so it's easy to imagine that the Colts simply intend to allow the tight end a bit of rest on a short week. With Jack Doyle (concussion) trending in the wrong direction for Thursday's game in Tennessee, Alie-Cox could find himself handling increased opportunities alongside Trey Burton as long as he's able to suit up.

Analysis: Alie-Cox returned to action following the team's Week 7 bye, playing 32 snaps and seeing four targets -- his second-highest total of the season -- in that contest. The knee troubles did resurface a bit in practice this week, and he was held out of Thursday's session as a precaution. Alie-Cox will ultimately get clearance to suit up, but with both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton active as well, there will be a crowded position group contending for targets.

Analysis: Alie-Cox managed to play through his lingering knee issue during Sunday's win over the Lions, so barring any setbacks, he should be good for Week 9.

Alie-Cox (knee) caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Alie-Cox led Colts tight ends in receiving yards but was kept out of the end zone while both Jack Doyle and Trey Burton found pay dirt, giving Doyle and Burton a combined five touchdowns in the past two weeks. Even though he was the most productive of the three tight ends when healthy earlier this season, Alie-Cox will have a hard time carving out value in the Colts' three-man tight end rotation if he plays second fiddle in the red zone.

Returning to action Sunday
Alie-Cox (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Though Alie-Cox's availability came down to a pregame workout, the Colts were evidently pleased enough with the health of his knee to clear him to rejoin the lineup. Since erupting for a five-catch, 111-yard performance Week 2, Alie-Cox has been limited to four receptions for 63 yards in his most recent three outings combined. He'll likely be limited to a bit role in the Colts' passing game with both Trey Burton and Jack Doyle seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order for reps at tight end.

Status hinges on pregame warmup
The Colts are optimistic that Alie-Cox (knee) will play Sunday against the Lions, but he'll be put through a pregame workout before the team determines his status, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Alie-Cox is listed as questionable for the Week 8 contest after having been sidelined for the Colts' Week 6 win over the Bengals prior to the team going on bye Week 7. Assuming his knee provides no major complications during his pregame workout, Alie-Cox should avoid the inactive list, which the Colts will release approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If he dresses for the contest, Alie-Cox will be stuck in a timeshare at tight end with Trey Burton and Jack Doyle.

Analysis: Alie-Cox was held catchless during Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns (one target), and he appears to have picked up a knee injury during the affair.

Goes catchless in loss
Alie-Cox failed to haul in his lone target Sunday in the Colts' 32-23 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Following his six-catch, 111-yard outing Week 2, Alie-Cox remained useful for fantasy managers in the subsequent two weeks, but his production mostly came on the back of touchdowns in both of those games rather than steady target volume. After failing to reach the end zone Sunday, Alie-Cox's fantasy utility unsurprisingly eroded entirely, and more games like these could be on the docket for the 27-year-old in the weeks to come.

Finds end zone in win
Alie-Cox caught all three of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-7 win over the Jets.
Analysis: The Colts' passing game wasn't needed much in the big win, but Alie-Cox made his mark early with a one-yard TD catch in the second quarter for Indy's first offensive score. Even with Jack Doyle active, Alie-Cox had his second straight productive game, and the athletic third-year tight end could be emerging as one of Philip Rivers' favorite targets. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 4 against a Bears defense that's allowed a TE to find the end zone in two of three games to begin the season.

Excels in starting role
Alie-Cox caught five of six targets for 111 yards during Sunday's 28-11 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Alie-Cox stepped in for Jack Doyle (ankle) and led the team in receiving yards by a comfortable margin. He had the team's longest gain of the day -- a beautiful 33-yard reception -- and tied for the team lead in targtes. Alie-Cox's performance should earn him a role in the offense once Doyle is healthy enough to return, but with many other mouths to feed in the Colts offense, he shouldn't command an abundance of targets every week. His next outing will come Sunday against the Jets.

Opportunity knocks
Alie-Cox is expected to be the Colts' No. 1 TE in Week 2 against the Vikings following news that Jack Doyle (ankle) has been ruled out, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Head coach Frank Reich expressed his confidence in Alie-Cox to fill into this role, which is crucial in the Colts' TE-centric scheme. The 6-foot-5, 267-pound TE has experience, as he averaged 22.3 snaps per game in 2019, and he caught two passes for 20 yards against the Jaguars this past Sunday. Alie-Cox is an intriguing DFS tournament play, and the TD upside makes him viable in deeper season-long leagues.

Alie-Cox signed a one-year extension with the Colts on Monday.
Analysis: Alie-Cox caught his only target for 15 yards in the season finale and finished 2019 with eight catches for 93 yards while mostly working as a reserve tight end.

Snags pass in win
Alie-Cox reeled in his only target for a 21-yard catch during Sunday's 38-6 win over Carolina.
Analysis: Alie-Cox's grab helped set up Marlon Mack's second-quarter touchdown plunge, but it was just his second catch since Week 9. The sophomore tight end has just one game with multiple receptions this season, way back in Week 3 against Atlanta. He hasn't seen an uptick in production since Eric Ebron (ankle) headed to injured reserve and it'd be a surprise if he broke out against Jacksonville's 20th-ranked pass defense in the season finale Sunday.

Analysis: Indianapolis didn't use many two-TE sets in a shootout with Alie-Cox getting just 16 snaps and Ross Travis having five snaps behind Jack Doyle (49 snaps).

No receptions Sunday
Alie-Cox played 15 snaps on offense but did not have a reception or target in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: With Eric Ebron out with an ankle injury and several other wide receivers sidelined, Alie-Cox appeared poised for a larger role in the offense. However, Ross Travis got the start as the second TE opposite Jack Doyle and had three targets and more pass routes run (12 compared to three for Alie-Cox). Alie-Cox battled a thumb injury during practices last week, but it looks like Travis may get looks over him in the passing game despite Alie-Cox previously showing promise as a receiver.

Set for increased role
Alie-Cox may have the opportunity to carve out a larger role on offense with Eric Ebron (ankle) set to land on injured reserve, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old has mostly been utilized as a blocker this season, having logged just five catches for 49 yards across 245 offensive snaps, but in Ebron's absence his role could expand. Alie-Cox's frame (6-foot-5, 267 pounds) suggests he could be effective in the end zone, though Jack Doyle figures to handle the bulk of receiving work at the tight end position for Indianapolis.

No targets Thursday
Alie-Cox wasn't targeted during Thursday's 20-17 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Alie-Cox suited up through a thumb injury for Thursday's divisional clash, but he was relegated to a depth role with both Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle active. The 26-year-old figures to play his usual role as a blocker against the Titans in Week 13.

Suits up Thursday night
Alie-Cox (thumb) is active for Thursday night's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Alie-Cox might see some extra work in this one even with Eric Ebron (ankle) active, as Ebron missed a couple days of practice this week. Jack Doyle figures to see the bulk of the work ahead of Alie-Cox, anyway.

Questionable for TNF
Alie-Cox (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Considering he wasn't limited in practice, Alie-Cox has a good shot to suit up for the divisional clash. The 26-year-old could have a heightened role in the offensive if Eric Ebron (ankle) is unable to play, but he'd still be behind Jack Doyle in the pecking order.

Turns in limited practice Tuesday
Alie-Cox (thumb) was limited in practice Tuesday.
Analysis: After an estimated DNP on Monday, it's a good sign that Alie-Cox was at least able to get some work in Tuesday. With Eric Ebron (ankle) sitting out for a second-straight day, the Virginia Commonwealth product could be in line for more work Thursday against the Texans.

Estimated as non-participant
Alie-Cox (thumb) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's injury report.
Analysis: Alie-Cox sustained the thumb injury during Sunday's win over the Jaguars and was unable to retake the field, so it's no major surprise to see he wasn't expected to practice one day later. Eric Ebron is also tending to an ankle injury, leaving Jack Doyle as the team's only healthy tight end.

Done for day
Alie-Cox (thumb) won't return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: It's unclear how Alie-Cox picked up the injury, but the issue is serious enough to keep him out of game time. With the VCU product sidelined, Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle remain the only healthy tight ends on the roster for the remainder of the game.

Gearing up Sunday
Alie-Cox (hip) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Despite not practicing all week, Alie-Cox is ready to rock for the divisional matchup. The tight end will mainly be used in a blocking role behind Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle on the depth chart, as Alie-Cox has been targeted just seven times over nine contests.

Questionable for Sunday
Alie-Cox (hip) is listed as quesitonable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Alie-Cox didn't practice this week but apparently still has a chance at suiting up Sunday. The 26-year-old has only one catch over the last four games, so the Colts' offense is unlikely to be significantly impacted by his potential absence.

Remains sidelined Thursday
Alie-Cox (hip) was not spotted at Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Alie-Cox hasn't practiced in any capacity this week, and he looks to be trending toward missing Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville. With Eric Ebron fully healthy and Jack Doyle (shoulder) having returned to practice Thursday, even if Alie-Cox were forced to miss any time, it wouldn't be a tremendous loss for the Colts' offense. The 26-year-old mainly contributes as a blocker for Indianapolis.

Injury concerns surface
Alie-Cox (hip) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Alie-Cox has averaged 22.4 offensive snaps per game, and he mainly works in a blocking role, posting just five receptions for 49 scoreless yards. Jack Doyle (shoulder) also sat out of practice, so the Colts only have one healthy tight end -- Eric Ebron -- remaining. If both Alie-Cox and Doyle can't play Sunday against the Jaguars, the team may promote Ian Bunting from the practice squad to provide depth.

Catchless in loss
Alie-Cox was unable to bring in his only target of Sunday's 16-12 loss to Miami.
Analysis: The Colts were shocked by the Dolphins as Brian Hoyer got the start over Jacoby Brissett (knee). Brissett's status for Sunday against the Jaguars is undetermined, but it's unlikely that Alie-Cox will not get enough targets for it to matter much either way. The sophomore tight end has been targeted multiple times just twice this season and only twice since Week 5. Keep him on the shelf.

Catches lone target
Alie-Cox caught his only target for an 11-yard gain during Sunday's 26-24 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Alie-Cox's reception on the first play of the second half was his first in four weeks. The Colts coughed up a halftime lead despite a solid performance by Brian Hoyer in relief of Jacoby Brissett (knee). Brissett is reportedly optimistic that he can come back for Sunday's game against a middle-of-the-road Miami pass defense. Given Alie-Cox's minimal usage this season, with just seven targets in 2019, the VCU product probably won't get much action no matter who is at quarterback.
