The Colts have stated that Matt Ryan will not play in Week 8, and Sam Ehlinger will get the start in their home game against the Commanders. Though Ryan is dealing with a Grade 2 flexor strain, the Colts have stated that Ehlinger will be the starter for the rest of the season. (Zak Keefer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Essentially, the Colts are benching Matt Ryan. The 37-year-old went 33 for 44 with 243 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in Week 7. Ehlinger will start his first NFL game with Nick Foles as QB2. Fantasy managers can probably find better options than Ehlinger on waivers, but he could fill a QB spot in deeper leagues or SuperFlex leagues.
