Colts elevate veteran Mike Hilton to the active roster and promote Josh Sills as they prepare for the Rams, filling for Kenny Moore II who’s sidelined by an Achilles injury. Hilton could see immediate action, leveraging his Bengals familiarity under Lou Anarumo. Sills adds interior guard depth with Matt Goncalves out toe-wise, while Dalton Tucker logs reps behind him. The move injects veteran stability for Indy’s defense and line in a road test against Los Angeles, with fantasy managers eyeing Hilton’s early snaps and Sills’ potential upside if guard depth shakes out.

Hilton’s fit, coupled with Sills’ depth, could alter weekly rostering for Colts defenders and reserve offensive line options. Look for Hilton to be aligned heavily in the slot and to take on blitz roles, while Sills provides a reliable interior option if Goncalves remains limited. The Rams game becomes a test of Indiana’s veteran reclamation project and how quickly Hilton can translate experience into fantasy points.

Denver’s Week 2 loss to Indianapolis boiled down to a late misalignment, a pre-snap swap, and a penalty that erased precious clock. Tillman’s jump in the snap, Uwazurike’s positional shuffle, and a jumper-style block concept sparked by Colts observers collided with Sean Payton’s clock usage as the Broncos dropped to 1-1. Rizzi owned the miscue, while the wider NFL storm surrounding last-minute kicks adds volatility for Broncos kickers and fantasy managers alike.

Past-proven kicks and blockers frame this as a cautionary tale for fantasy kickers and defenses: special teams chaos, not just offense, can swing outcomes, and Payton-era Denver will be judged on its late-game discipline and risk-reward decisions as the season unfolds.
