The Indianapolis Colts will face the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Trey Sermon.
Is Trey Sermon Playing in Week 7?
Trey Sermon has handled 60% of Indy’s RB snaps with Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sidelined over the past two weeks. While he’s had little to no success on the ground, he did score in Week 5 while catching six passes for 25 yards.
After missing Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury, he was upgraded to limited on Thursday. Sermon doesn’t have an injury designation for Week 7.
Tyler Goodson is next up on the Colts’ depth chart and could handle pass-catching duties. Running back Evan Hull is also on Indy’s roster, and the Colts would likely ask QB Anthony Richardson to handle significant carries, too.
We’ll continue to monitor the Colts’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Trey Sermon in Week 7?
Sermon has more than a 2:1 carry edge over Tyler Goodson over the two weeks as a replacement option for Jonathan Taylor, but that role might not last much longer. Over that stretch, he’s turned 28 carries into just 67 yards, while Goodson’s 13 totes have netted 77 yards (Goodson also out-targeted Sermon 5-0 last week).
The scary part? The deeper you dive into Sermon’s rushing profile, the worse it gets. Across those two starts, 41.8% of his rushing yards came on two carries, and for the season, 37.8% of his attempts have failed to gain yardage.
In theory, the game script shouldn’t be a massive issue in this game. But if the touches aren’t productive, I don’t care how many looks he gets. Assuming Taylor sits, Sermon is a bail-me-out-of-trouble Flex option at best.
