Rogers impressed during Monday's practice

Rogers finally had a monster day during Monday's training camp practice. He made routine short routes look easy against the Colts defensive backs and is making a strong push for the fifth receiver spot. (Ink on Indy)
Fantasy Impact:
The critics of Da'Rick Rogers argue that he can only beat coverage on deep routes due to his blazing speed and that he fails to gain separation on short to intermediate routes due to his poor route running skills. This seemed to be the case last year, but Rogers is still very young and he seems to be improving in this area as he routinely beat the colts secondary in short routes yesterday. Rogers is battling Griff Whalen for the fifth receiver spot and is making a case to be on the Colts active gameday roster this year. His roster spot seems to be safe considering the Colts will probably hold onto six receivers this year, but he is not currently worth drafting in even the deepest of fantasy leagues.
