News: The Colts placed running back Robert Hughes (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Hughes dressed for five games this season, but he had just one carry and one reception. He was mostly used as a blocking fullback and had no Fantasy appeal.
News: Colts running back Robert Hughes barely made an impact during Thursday night's contest against the Jaguars in Week 10. Highes caught an early pass for 3 yards and was held in check for the rest of the night.
Analysis: Hughes was just signed from the practice squad in late October for some depth at running back. His short reception was the first catch of the season as he is not typically involved on offense with Vick Ballard and Donald Brown at running back. He should be left on waivers for now.
News: The Colts promoted running back Robert Hughes from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Monday.
Analysis: Hughes is nothing more than roster depth at this point so continue to ignore him in all Fantasy formats.
News: The Bears finished off their cuts on the way to getting down to the final 53 players on the active roster on Saturday. Among the casualties were RB Harvey Unga, LB J.T. Thomas, S Anthony Walters, LB Patrick Trahan, TE Andre Smith DT Jordan Miller, FB Robert Hughes, WR Kris Adams and DT Marcus Harrison.
Analysis: All of these players were competing for reserve spots on the roster, so they were not expected to impact game day anyway. On the same token, they had little to no Fantasy value even if they had made the squad.
