Ogletree had two receptions for 24 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee. He played on 21 of the offense's 70 snaps (Mo Alie-Cox played 34 and Kylen Granson played 17) and had the second most targets (Alie-Cox had four) among tight ends. While Alie-Cox has had a few more targets with Joe Flacco at quarterback, the Colts continue to divide the workload relatively evenly between three our four tight ends, which limits Ogletree's upside.

Ogletree had two receptions for 24 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee. He played on 21 of the offense's 70 snaps (Mo Alie-Cox played 34 and Kylen Granson played 17) and had the second most targets (Alie-Cox had four) among tight ends. While Alie-Cox has had a few more targets with Joe Flacco at quarterback, the Colts continue to divide the workload relatively evenly between three our four tight ends, which limits Ogletree's upside.
Ogletree had one reception for five yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville. Ogletree played on 26 of the offense's 70 snaps and went out on nine routes. The Colts continue to divide targets and snaps between multiple tight ends (Kylen Granson played 18 snaps, Mo Alie-Cox played 29, Will Mallory played 16). Alie-Cox caught a touchdown in the loss where Ogletree caught a touchdown in Week 4. As long as the workload is divided between three our four tight ends, none will have viable fantasy value for most formats.
Ogletree caught a 15-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh. It was just Ogletree's second reception of the season, as Indy hasn't utilized tight ends in the passing game and splits targets among three tight ends. Ogletree played on just 24 of the offense's 66 snaps and went out on six routes. His minimal usage makes him a poor fantasy option despite the touchdown reception.
Ogletree had one reception for 12 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. Indy's tight ends have a combined three receptions in the first two games with no tight end having more than one reception. Ogletree started at tight end, but played fewer snaps (14) than Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson as the Colts have been rotating tight ends in all roles this season. After two weeks, no Indy tight end looks set to produce viable fantasy value.
Ogletree played just 10 snaps on offense and didn't see a target in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans. Ogletree's small role on offense isn't necessarily surprising, operating as the No. 3 man on the team's tight end depth chart. He'll likely need an injury to Kylen Granson or Mo Alie-Cox to find himself as a larger part of the Colts' offense. However, he does remain a regular part of the team's special teams unit.
Ogletree has made Indianapolis' 53-man roster. With Jelani Woods (toe) out for the season on IR, Olgetree will be part of a four-man committee at tight end that also includes Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Will Mallory. Ogletree is probably the second or third receiving option among the quartet, with Alie-Cox primarily a blocking tight end.
Ogletree failed to bring in his lone target in Saturday's preseason win over the Cardinals. Ogletree was the first tight end targeted by fill-in starter Sam Ehlinger in Saturday's exhibition. Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox did not suit up for this contest while Jelani Woods (toe) suffered a minor injury against Arizona. Ogletree figures to still be in the mix for an unsettled tight end depth chart in Indianapolis this season.
GM Chris Ballard noted Friday that Ogletree is off the NFL's Commissioner Exempt List, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports. Per the report, Ogletree -- whose charges stemming from his arrest in December were dismissed last month -- is back with the Colts during offseason workouts. Prior to being placed on the Commissioner Exempt List on Dec. 30, Ogletree caught nine of his 21 targets for 147 yards and two TDs in 12 regular-season games with Indianapolis.
As suspected, Ogletree is back to 100 percent after he sat out of the Colts' last two games tending to a foot injury he sustained in Week 9 at Carolina. When he steps back into game action in Week 13, it will be as a member of a jumbled tight end committee, with 2021 fourth-rounder Kylen Granson being the member most likely to draw targets.
