INDIANAPOLIS COLTS NEWS

Laquon Treadwell - Elevated ahead of Week 10 contest The Colts elevated Treadwell from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup against Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact This is Treadwell's first elevation of the season, and it corresponds with Indianapolis' top wideout Michael Pittman being ruled out against the Bills due to a back injury and a finger injury. Treadwell played in five game with Baltimore last season, recording one catch on three targets for 16 yards. The veteran receiver isn't likely to see much action on offense against Buffalo on Sunday, as the Colts' wideout corps will likely be led by Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, with Ashton Dulin, Adonai Mitchell and Anthony Gould also possibly ahead of Treadwell in the pecking order.

Adonai Mitchell - Expected to see elevated snaps With Michael Pittman (back) ruled out, Mitchell is expected to see elevated offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the Bills, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Impact "He's improving, so looking forward to him playing this week," coach Shane Steichen said of Mitchell. The rookie played a season-low five offensive snaps in last Sunday night's loss to the Vikings, but he's expected to bump up the depth chart alongside Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, though Ashton Dulin will also see playing time as a plus blocker in the run game. Mitchell has big-play ability but has been unable to show it yet in the NFL, having failed to reach 40 receiving yards in any game this season.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Ruled out this week Coach Shane Steichen noted Friday that Pittman (back/finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Pittman, who didn't participate in practice this week, is thus slated to miss his first game of the season Sunday. Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Steichen indicated Friday that Pittman is viewed as week-to-week, but at this stage the team is still not considering IR for the wideout. In Pittman's absence, Josh Downs and Alec Pierce are in line to lead the Colts' WR corps, with Ashton Dulin and Adonai Mitchell mixing in, while Anthony Gould is available in reserve.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Still not practicing Pittman (back/finger) remained sidelined at practice Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pittman also missed Wednesday and Thursday's sessions, and his continued absence Friday doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. If Pittman ends up being unavailable for the contest, the Colts' Week 10 wideout corps would be in line to be led by Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, with Ashton Dulin and Adonai Mitchell mixing in.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Not seen at Thursday's practice Pittman (back, finger) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pittman didn't practice Wednesday, his norm since Week 6, so his absence a day later is notable. What the wideout -- who hasn't missed any games yet this season -- is able to do Friday, if anything, will thus be pivotal in terms of gauging the chances of him be able to continue to play through the back issue that he's been managing of late. The Colts face the Bills at 1:00 ET on Sunday.

Zaire Franklin - Back at practice Thursday Franklin (ankle) participated at practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Impact Franklin missed practice Wednesday after playing 100 percent of Indianapolis' defensive snaps in Week 9, but he's now a step closer to potentially suiting up again in Week 10. If he can practice in full Friday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Zaire Franklin - Logs DNP on Wednesday Franklin (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact The NFL's leading tackler played 100.0 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps in their Week 9 loss to the Vikings, but it now appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process. Franklin will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Indianapolis' Week 10 matchup against the Bills.

Bernhard Raimann - Clears protocol Raimann passed concussion protocol Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 93.5 The Fan reports.

Impact Raimann missed Indianapolis' Week 9 loss to the Vikings after sustaining a concussion the week prior. However, it now appears that he's passed through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Expect the third-year offensive lineman from Central Michigan to serve as the Colts' top left tackle in Week 10, when the team hosts the Bills.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Another Wednesday absence Pittman (back) didn't practice Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wednesday absences have been the norm for Pittman since Week 6 as he continues to manage a back issue, but the wideout has managed to suit up for all nine of the Colts' games to date. That said, head coach Shane Steichen acknowledged Wednesday, "obviously, (Pittman is) dealing with some stuff, but obviously we are trying to get him the ball as well, adding that the wideout "knows his body more than anyone. He's battling through it. He's showing the toughness, wants to be out there with his teammates. So we are just taking it week-by week." In this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings, Pittman logged a 76 percent snap share, while catching just one pass (for 14 yards on four targets) for the second straight game.

NOVEMBER 6

Kylen Granson - Targeted once against Minnesota Granson caught his lone target for 22 yars in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Granson was on the field for 44 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps, just behind fellow tight end Mo Alie-Cox who played 48 percent of snaps. The 26-year-old Granson now has just four receptions for 75 yards through nine games. His lack of involvement and production should keep the 6-foot-3, 242-pounder far off the fantasy radar as the Colts host the Bills in Week 10.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Adonai Mitchell - One grab in loss Mithcell caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Mitchell played just five of the Colts' 54 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Indianapolis wide receiver and his lowest snap share of the season. The rookie wideout isn't seeing enough playing time or opportunities to be relevant for fantasy purposes. Barring injuries to members of the Colts' receiving corps, Mitchell cannot be trusted to produce for fantasy heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Bills.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Goodson - No touches in Week 9 Goodson failed to record a single carry or target in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Goodson played just one offensive snap in the contest, matching a season low in the eight games he's played this season. With teammate Jonathan Taylor back to full health, Goodson has reverted to his No. 3 running back role, with teammate Trey Sermon slotting in as the top backup. The 23-year-old should not be considered for fantasy purposes as the Colts host the Bills in Week 10.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Trey Sermon - Limited role against Minnesota Sermon rushed twice for four yards and caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Sermon played just 14 of the Colts' 54 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter Jonathan Taylor (39) and Tyler Goodson (1). The 25-year-old operated in a minimal role as the Colts' No. 2 running back, and he should continue to see limited opportunities as long as Taylor can stay healthy. Sermon and the Colts will host the Bills in Week 10.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

DeForest Buckner - Puts up another sack Buckner recorded six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Buckner has notched a sack in each game since returning from a five-game stint on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Considering he hasn't lost a step and is still handling a significant snap share -- 60 and 76 percent the last two weeks, respectively -- Buckner should be considered a solid DL start moving forward.
