The Colts D/ST gave up two touchdowns on Thursday and ended up losing to the Texans by a 20-17 score.

Fantasy Impact: The Colts D/ST came up with one interception, one sack and three passes defended on Thursday. The defense faces the Titans in Week 13 and they could be worth starting in deeper fantasy formats.

The Texans D/ST held the Colts to two touchdowns on Thursday as the team won by a 20-17 score.

Fantasy Impact: The Texans DST also had one sack, three tackles for losses and one pass defended on Thursday. The defense has a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Patriots and are not worth starting in standard leagues.

Chester Rogers caught his only target for 12 yards on Thursday as the Colts lost to the Texans by a 20-17 score.

Fantasy Impact: Rogers has caught one pass in each of his last two games as he has not been a big part of the passing game. With T.Y. Hilton back on the field there will be even less opportunities for Rogers and he can be left on the waiver wire.

Adam Vinatieri made his only field goal try from 36 yards and was 2-for-2 in extra point attempts on Thursday as the Colts lost to the Texans by a 20-17 score.

Fantasy Impact: Vinatieri has had one of his worst seasons in his long storied career as he has hit 76% of this field goals and just 77% of his extra point attempts. The veteran kicker is no longer a must-own in fantasy and can be left on the waiver wire.

Jack Doyle caught three of four targets for 28 yards in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Doyle was a victim of the Colts offense on Thursday as the team went run heavy and only passed the ball 25 times. The veteran tight end continues to split time with Eric Ebron is more of a 12 team and deeper fantasy own.

Nyheim Hines rushed nine times for 51 yards and secured two of three targets for 10 yards in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Hines got some extra touches in Week 12 with Marlon Mack out with a broken hand. But the second-year running back took a back seat to Jonathan Williams who got the bulk of the carries on Thursday and looks to continue role in Week 13 if Mack is out again. Hines is only worth owning in deeper fantasy formats.

Eric Ebron caught four of five targets for 44 yards in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: The Colts decided to run a conservative offense on Thursday focusing mainly on the run and Ebron led the Colts with catches even though it was just four. The veteran tight end continues to split time with Jack Doyle which hurts his fantasy value and is not a must own in standard fantasy leagues.

Jordan Wilkins was held without a touch in the Colts' Week 12 loss to the Texans by a 20-17 score on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Wilkins was battling an ankle injury coming into the game and it looked like the Colts were only going to use him if they really needed him. Jonathan Williams got the workload and played well and if Marlon Mack misses another game then it looks like Williams will get the start. Wilkins can be left on the waiver wire in standard fantasy leagues.

Ka'imi Fairbairn went 2-for-2 in field goal attempts and made both his extra point tries as the Texans beat the Colts by a 20-17 score on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Fairbairn has had a disappointing season as the kicker has only made 75% of his field goals this season and has missed five extra point attempts. If Fairbairn can start to get hot then he would be worth adding in 12 team fantasy leagues.

DeAndre Carter did not see a target on Thursday as the Texans beat the Colts by a 20-17 score.

Fantasy Impact: Carter has not seen a target in the last two games as he has become an afterthought in the Texans offense and is mainly used for special teams. Carter can be dropped in all fantasy formats.

Jordan Akins caught three passes on four targets for 26 yards on Thursday as the Texans beat the Colts by a 20-17 score.

Fantasy Impact: Akins tied his season high in catches with three on Thursday as the tight end has usually been an afterthought in the Texans offense. On the season Akins now has 24 catches and is only worth owning in deep fantasy formats.

Darren Fells caught 1-of-2 targets for 24 yards in the Texans' Week 12 win over the Colts by a 20-17 score on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Fells has not taken advantage of being at the top of the depth chart at tight end for the Texans. The veteran has caught just one pass in each of his last three games and could see his workload be reduced even more with the return of fellow TE Jordan Thomas. Fells can be dropped by fantasy owners.

Kenny Stills caught 1-of-2 targets for six yards in the Texans' Week 12 win over the Colts by a 20-17 score on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact: With Will Fuller back on the field, Stills drops to third on the receiver depth chart. The veteran receiver will struggle to see targets with everyone healthy and can be dropped by fantasy owners.

Duke Johnson rushed five times for 22 yards and caught one pass for eight yards in the Texans' Week 12 win over the Colts by a 20-17 score.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson has had a disappointing season with the Texans. He continues to play a backseat to Carlos Hyde at running back and is not seeing enough touches to be worth owning in fantasy except as a handcuff.

Zach Pascal was held without a catch on one target in the Colts' Week 12 loss to the Texans by a 20-17 score.

Fantasy Impact: Pascal dropped to second on the depth chart with the return of T.Y. Hilton. And with the Colts opting to play conservatively with a run-heavy offense there were not may passes thrown on Thursday. With Hilton back on the field, Pascal can be dropped by fantasy owners.

Jonathan Williams rushed 26 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 17 yards in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Williams got the start on Thursday with Marlon Mack out with a broken hand. Mack may miss one more game which would make Williams worth starting in 12 team leagues and deeper.

T.Y. Hilton caught three of his six targets for 18 yards in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Hilton had missed the last three games with a calf injury and it looked like the Colts were being cautious with their star receiver on Thursday night. The Colts will have a long week to get ready for Week 13 and it may give Hilton enough time to get fully healthy.

Jacoby Brissett completed 16 of 25 passes for 129 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed four times for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 20-17 loss to the Texans on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: The Colts went conservative on Thursday with a run-heavy offense. Brissett never had a chance to get things going in the passing game. With TY Hilton back on the field look for the Colts to start to open things up again but could focus on the run once again in Week 13 when the team faces the Titans.

Will Fuller caught seven of 11 targets for 140 yards in the Texans' 20-17 win over the Colts on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Fuller had missed the previous three games with a hamstring injury but looked like he was fine on Thursday with the big game. Now that he is healthy, Fuller should be owned in all fantasy formats and owners should grab him if he is on any waiver wires.

Carlos Hyde rushed 16 times for 67 yards in the Texans' Week 12 win over the Colts by a 20-17 score on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: The Colts were able to contain Hyde most of the night as the running back got most of his yards on a 33-yard carry. Hyde also continues to be left out of the passing game as he did not have a catch and only has six total on the season. Hyde will be facing a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Patriots and should be left on the bench in standard leagues.
