Latu now has a career-high 6.5 sacks. He also had three stops, according to Pro Football Focus, as he was effective against the run as well.

Colts' Philip Rivers: Remaining starter for Week 16
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Rivers will draw another start during Monday Night Football against the 49ers in Week 16 on Dec. 22, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Rivers made his first start since 2021 during Indianapolis' narrow 18-16 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday, in which he completed 18 of 27 pass attempts for 120 yards, one touchdown and one interception while losing five yards on his only carry. While the 44-year-old signal-caller's numbers were excessively modest, he piloted Indianapolis' offense with prudence and kept the team competitive in a difficult road environment. He'll have an opportunity to build on that production at home versus a 49ers defense that's lost multiple key playmakers Monday.

Colts' Anthony Richardson: Medically cleared, still on IR
Richardson (orbital) has been cleared to resume football activities but it remains uncertain whether he will return for Indianapolis' final three games of the regular season, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 reports.
Richardson remains on injury reserve after having suffered an orbital bone fracture during Oct. 12 warmups prior to a matchup against Arizona, and Indianapolis has yet to offer even a tentative update on his 21-day practice window opening. In the wake of Daniel Jones (Achilles) sustaining a season-ending injury Dec. 7, the Colts turned to veteran signee Philip Rivers to start Week 15 against the Seahawks, while Richardson remained on IR. Head coach Shane Steichen said last week that Richardson was "not ready yet" but that an update would be provided upon his being cleared for contact, as has now occurred.

Colts' Ameer Abdullah: Leads team in receiving Sunday
Abdullah rushed four times for 15 yards and caught all five of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Abdullah benefited from having Philip Rivers take over under center for the injured Daniel Jones (Achilles) after the backup running back finished as the Colts' leading receiver Sunday. The 32-year-old Abdullah hadn't recorded more than two receptions in any of his previous nine appearances this season, but the higher target share could become a trend with Rivers needing to make plenty of check-down passes to preserve his own health down the stretch. Abdullah represents a sneaky play in Week 16 for those in deep PPR formats, but the veteran backup can safely be ignored elsewhere.

Colts' Josh Downs: Catches TD from Rivers
Downs caught three of five targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Downs caught Philip Rivers' first touchdown pass following a five-year layoff on an eight-yard connection in the second quarter. Outside of scoring the only touchdown for either team, Downs had another quiet performance as Rivers threw for only 120 yards. Following Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury, the Colts' passing game has lost most of its fantasy appeal heading into a MNF home game against the 49ers on Dec. 22.

Colts' Alec Pierce: One snag in defeat
Pierce caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Pierce was limited to a season-low 16 receiving yards while reeling in just one catch for the second time in four weeks. The wide receiver was working with 44-year-old Philip Rivers for the first time, and the veteran quarterback struggled to push the ball down the field, completing 18 of 27 passes for 120 yards in the contest. Pierce has proven to be an elite vertical threat in his fourth campaign in Indianapolis, securing 13 receptions of 20-plus yards, but his upside could be limited moving forward if Rivers remains the starter.

Colts' Tyler Warren: Little production on six targets
Warren brought in three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to Seattle.
Warren was limited to meager production on six targets in consecutive weeks, highlighting the effect the loss of QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) early in Week 14 has had on the Colts' position players. It was a tough ask for 44-year-old Philip Rivers to save the team's passing attack, so Warren's recent drop-off shouldn't come as a huge surprise to fantasy managers. The 23-year-old Warren may have to make his mark on short underneath routes against the 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 16.

Colts' Michael Pittman: Quiet in Rivers' first start w/ IND
Pittman had three receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Philip Rivers' first start with the Colts in 2025 did not generate any fantasy stars from the receiving corps. Pittman did lead all Indianapolis wide receivers in targets and yardage, but that is not saying much in a game during which the offense was held to 120 passing yards. Pittman's value understandably dropped off following the news of QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) missing the rest of the season, and Rivers coming out of retirement may not be able to salvage it. The 27-year-old Pittman carries more value in deep and PPR formats for next Monday's tilt against the 49ers.

Colts' Blake Grupe: Makes 60-yard field goal
Grupe connected on all three field-goal attempts, including a 60-yarder, and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
The 60-yard field goal briefly gave Indianapolis a one-point lead with less than a minute to play, though Seattle drove back down for a clutch field goal of its own to win it. Grupe also made a 54-yarder and a 42-yarder in this one, as he stayed perfect across two games with the Colts since replacing Michael Badgley. Though Grupe missed eight field goals in 11 games with the Saints earlier in the year, he seems to have found his groove with his new team.

Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Grinds for over 100 yards in loss
Taylor rushed 25 times for 87 yards while bringing in three of four targets for 14 receiving yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to Seattle.
Since 44-year-old Philip Rivers wasn't able to be a downfield threat in his first start since 2021, he wasn't able to take the pressure off Taylor and Indianapolis' ground game Sunday. Once the Seahawks realized this, the defense was consistently stacking the box against the Colts' top weapon on offense, resulting in a pedestrian mark of 3.5 yards per carry. Taylor suffered a similar fate against Jacksonville in Week 14 after Daniel Jones (Achilles) left the contest, so it may be tough sledding for the superstar running back going forward without the threat of a deep passing attack. The 26-year-old Taylor will receive a heavy workload to help offset the recent drop in efficiency, and a soft matchup against the 49ers' defense next Monday boosts his prospects for Week 16.

Colts' Philip Rivers: Makes first start since 2021
Rivers completed 18 of 27 pass attempts for 120 yards, one touchdown and one interception while losing five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Rivers performed about as well as you could expect Sunday from a player coming out of retirement after nearly a five-year absence. The 44-year-old attempted short, safe passes while keeping the Colts competitive against a daunting opponent. Rivers was finally asked to take a shot down the field in the closing moments of the contest in order to get his club into range for a game-winning field goal, but he airmailed his target for his only interception. It was a valiant effort from Rivers given Indianapolis' desperate circumstances, but his game-manager style of play is unlikely to produce alluring fantasy numbers. That said, next Monday's matchup against San Francisco's depleted defensive unit presents a softer matchup for Rivers' second start of the campaign.

Colts' Bernhard Raimann: Questionable to return
Raimann (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Seattle.
Raimann sustained the injury in the second quarter and will now undergo evaluation by Indianapolis' medical staff to determine if he can return. Luke Tenuta will fill in at left tackle while Raimann's sidelined.

Colts' Brett Rypien: Inactive in Week 15
Rypien (coach's decision) is inactive as the Colts' emergency No. 3 quarterback for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Though he began Week 15 prep as the only healthy quarterback in the Colts organization and was officially signed off the practice squad Wednesday, Rypien will be available only in an emergency Sunday. With Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the season and Anthony Richardson (orbital) stuck on injured reserve, the Colts lured Philip Rivers out of retirement and are expected to have the 44-year-old start Sunday in what will be his first NFL appearance since the 2020 postseason. Riley Leonard, who was slowed by a low-grade knee sprain to begin the week, will be active as Rivers' backup.
