Indy surged to 4-1 behind a dominant 40-6 win over Las Vegas, with Jonathan Taylor delivering a three-TD showcase that solidifies him as a premier NFL back. Daniel Jones managed the offense effectively (212 yards, 2 TDs) while the defense harassed Geno Smith, recording four sacks and two INTs. Special-teams chaos followed when Spencer Shrader exited with a knee injury, forcing an emergency kicker and shifting kick duties to the punter. Indy heads to Arizona with momentum.

Colts visit Raiders in Week 5 with Indianapolis riding a 3-1 surge led by Jonathan Taylor, while Las Vegas fights to stay in playoff contention. The clash in the trenches shapes the game: Jonah Laulu vs. Quenton Nelson, DJ Glaze vs. Laiatu Latu, and the Buckner-Stuart duo trying to flood the Raiders’ interior. Las Vegas’ improved interior run blocking from Parham, Meredith, and Powers-Johnson will be tested by Indiana’s big men, and Miller’s IR status adds uncertainty up front. Expect heavy ground work and pivotal line play that could swing fantasy value for both sides.

Colts missteps cost them in a 27-20 loss at the Rams as AD Mitchell’s two critical gaffes swing momentum: a 56-yard grab that ends in a goal-line fumble and a late holding that wipes out Taylor’s long TD. Indy recovered enough to stay in it, but the defense allowed 462 yards and Jones coughed up two interceptions. Warren flashed with 70 receiving yards and Pittman added a TD, leaving fantasy managers weighing Mitchell’s volatility against upcoming matchups.

Rams at Colts in Week 4 pits a high-powered Los Angeles offense against a stout Indianapolis defense, with Stafford’s quick-release and weapons like Nacua and Adams testing Indy’s secondary while Kyren Williams anchors the run. Indy counters with a balanced attack led by Taylor and a growing group around Pierce and Moore, but injuries—Havenstein and Adams among them—could shift targets and roles. Expect a tight, fantasy-relevant game with volume-driven upside on both sides.
