News: The Colts have announced the inactives for Week 8 vs. San Francisco: K Adam Vinatieri, QB Curtis Painter, WR Anthony Gonzalez, DB T.J. Rushing, DB Marlin Jackson and RB Donald Brown.
Analysis: Vinatieri, Gonzalez and Brown all have solid Fantasy value, but were either out or doubtful coming in to Sunday, so you should already have prepared for their absence. The others can all continue to be ignored.
News: The Indianapolis Colts placed kick returner T.J. Rushing and backup tight end Zac Herold on injured reserve Tuesday, ending their seasons. Indy also released kicker Adam Crossett, linebacker Marcus Richardson and running back Clifton Dawson.
Analysis: None of these players were expected to produce even nominal Fantasy stats this season. Ignore them all until further notice.
News: Indianapolis lost kick returner T.J. Rushing to a left knee injury during Sunday's preseason game against the Bills. Coach Tony Dungy said Rushing was scheduled to have an MRI on Monday.
Analysis: Rushing has minimal Fantasy value and should not be drafted in IDP leagues heading into 2008.
News: Colts DB T.J. Rushing appeared in 14 games in 2007 and finished with 22 tackles (18 solo) and one defensive touchdown.
Analysis: Rushing has minimal Fantasy value and should not be drafted in IDP leagues heading into 2008.
News: Colts DB T.J. Rushing returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown Week 15 at Oakland. He contributed 167 total return yards.
Analysis: As an IDP player who rarely sees the field on defense, Fantasy owners don't have much use for Rushing -- touchdown or not.
News: Colts.com reports the team re-signed CB/KR T.J. Rushing and WR Devin Aromashodu. Rushing was cut last week, and Aromashodu was cut after training camp.
Analysis: Both players provide nothing more than organizational depth and shouldn't be considered useful in any Fantasy league at this point.
News: The Colts waived defensive back T.J. Rushing on Saturday. Rushing had been active for seven games this season, recording two tackles.
Analysis: Rushing was nothing more than an extra body in the secondary for the Colts. It is safe to keep him on Fantasy waivers at this time.

Analysis: Keep all these players reserved.
News: The Colts listed WR Ricky Proehl, DB Bob Sanders, DB Tim Jennings, DB T.J. Rushing, TE Dallas Clark, DE Ryan LaCasse and RB Kory Chapman as inactive for Week 16 at Houston.
Analysis: None of these players should be anywhere near your active Fantasy lineup.
News: The Colts inactives for Week 14 against Jacksonville are DB Bob Sanders, DB T.J. Rushing, TE Dallas Clark, TE Jerome Collins, LB Tyjuan Hagler, DL Bo Schobel, WR Aaron Moorehead and DL Ryan LaCasse.

TE Ben Utecht will start for Clark and Bryan Fletcher will start at H-Back. For the Titans, CB Andre Woolfolk, RB Chris Brown, DE DeQuincy Scott, WR Jonathan Orr, DT Jesse Mahelona, DE Josh Savage and DE Antwan Odom are inactive.
Analysis: Anyone listed as inactive shouldn't start in Week 13 Fantasy play. Utecht is a No. 2 Fantasy TE.
News: The Colts listed Brandon Stokley, Bob Sanders, T.J. Rushing, Jerome Collins, Keith O'Neil, Bo Schobel and Montae Reagor as inactive for Week 8 at Denver.
Analysis: None of these players should be in your active Fantasy lineup for Week 8.

Analysis: Keep these players reserved for Fantasy purposes in Week 7.
News: Colts DB T.J. Rushing (low back) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Week 7 vs. Washington.

Rushing (low back), DL Josh Thomas (ankle), TE Ben Utecht (low back) and WR Terrence Wilkins (concussion) are listed as questionable for Week 7 vs. Washington.
Analysis: Jackson and Gardner are decent bye-week replacement players in IDP leagues, but the rest of the injured players on this list are not viable Fantasy options heading into Week 7.
News: The Colts added DB T.J. Rushing, WR John Standeford, RB Ran Carthon and WR Devin Aromashadou to the practice squad.
Analysis: These players are too far down the depth chart to own in Fantasy leagues right now. Ignore them.
News: The Colts signed two more draft picks Sunday, defensive back Antoine Bethea and cornerback-kick returner T.J. Rushing. Bethea, from Howard, was the team's second sixth-round pick and Rushing, who played at Stanford, was a seventh-rounder.
Analysis: Neither player will make enough of a contribution to be used in Fantasy Football.
