Fantasy Impact:
Ehlinger, a sixth-round pick in this year's draft, has yet to throw a pass in an NFL game. Regardless of the strength of the Raiders' pass defense, there's no way any fantasy manager can expect the Indianapolis passing game to do anything of substance this week. Jonathan Taylor is, of course, still a must-start option, but Michael Pittman suddenly becomes a dicey option at the time when fantasy managers most need him. Wentz likely won't be the last player to be ruled out this week, either from the Colts or otherwise, so fantasy managers playing in their championship game will need to monitor the developments closely.
