2022 Fantasy Outlook
Lindsay recorded consecutive 1,000-yard rushing campaigns for the Broncos during each of his first two years as a pro, but his production has tapered off since then. Over the course of a 2021 campaign split between Houston and Miami, the 28-year-old recorded 249 yards on 88 carries (2.8 YPC) and a TD and four catches (on five targets) for 45 yards and one more score in 14 games. He then signed with the Colts this offseason, but they released Lindsay in September and may try to keep him on the practice squad as an insurance policy in case Jonathan Taylor gets hurt. With Taylor healthy, the team doesn't have much use for a running back who doesn't play special teams or passing downs. Read Past Outlooks

Let go from practice squad
The Colts cut Lindsay from the practice squad Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Lindsay was activated from the practice squad Week 9 versus New England, but Indianapolis' new coaching staff has already decided to part ways with the veteran running back in favor of Jake Funk. Now, Lindsay will likely have to search for a practice squad opportunity elsewhere in the league.

2018
After consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, Lindsay fizzled in his final season with the Broncos. The offseason addition of Melvin Gordon initially seemed to merely give Lindsay a different partner in the team's backfield committee, but his Week 1 turf toe injury gave Gordon a chance to establish himself, and aside from a big Week 6 performance against the Patriots when Gordon was sidelined, Lindsay was never able to stay healthy long enough the rest of the season to make an impact or push his way back into a full timeshare. When he's 100 percent, the 2018 UDFA out of Colorado offsets his lack of size with elite speed and acceleration, and prior to 2020 he'd missed only one of his first 32 NFL games. Cut by Denver, Lindsay signed a one-year deal with Houston to provide depth behind David Johnson, though he'll have to compete for backup snaps with Mark Ingram. New Houston head coach
David Culley comes from a committee-backfield offense in Baltimore, but the fact that offensive coordinator Tim Kelly is a holdover from the Bill O'Brien regime suggests Johnson should stay involved. Even if snaps and touches get spread out more, Lindsay will have to earn a prominent spot in the mix.
