Alie-Cox (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. After logging a pair of DNPs to open the practice week, Alie-Cox was able to get in a full session Friday. The veteran tight end has played in all 14 games this season but has done little in the box score, accruing 11-132-1 receiving on 18 targets. He's well off the fantasy radar in a Colts offense that likes to use multiple tight ends.

Alie-Cox (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. After logging a pair of DNPs to open the practice week, Alie-Cox was able to get in a full session Friday. The veteran tight end has played in all 14 games this season but has done little in the box score, accruing 11-132-1 receiving on 18 targets. He's well off the fantasy radar in a Colts offense that likes to use multiple tight ends.
Alie-Cox (hip) is not practicing Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Alie-Cox will miss a second consecutive contest due to the hip injury he managed to play through during the Colts' loss to the Broncos in Week 15. The veteran tight end hasn't yet missed a game this season, but across 14 appearances he's racked up just 11 catches for 132 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets. Friday will represent the last chance for Alie-Cox to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup against the Titans.
Alie-Cox (hip) didn't practice Wednesday. The VCU product played through is hip injury in Indianapolis' Week 15 loss to the Broncos, failing to record a stat across 28 total snaps (22 offensive and six on special teams). Wednesday's DNP is likely an indication that the injury worsened Sunday, putting Alie-Cox in jeopardy of missing the Week 16 divisional matchup against the Titans. His likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play.
Alie-Cox (hip) was deemed active ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Alie-Cox was expected to play after popping up on the injury report with a hip issue Friday. The 29-year-old has logged 11 catches for 132 yards and a touchdown this season. He should continue to fill into the Colts' by-committe rotation at tight end alongside Kylen Granson, Drew Ogletree and Mill Mallory.
Alie-Cox (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, but coach Shane Steichen said Alie-Cox will play, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports. Alie-Cox wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday before logging a DNP on Friday. It sounds like he's avoided a serious injury, and the Colts expect him to be available versus Denver. The Colts like to use multiple tight ends, rendering none of them useful in fantasy outside of the deepest of formats. Alie-Cox has 11 catches for 132 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets across 13 games this season.
Alie-Cox made two catches on two targets for 15 yards in the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday. Alie-Cox saw a season-best 34 snaps on offense and turned out his fourth multi-catch game of the season in the process. Although he's listed as No. 1 on the team's tight end depth chart, Indianapolis' heavy use of tight ends, and going four deep at the position tends to spread out the production, not leaving much for any of them for fantasy purposes. Alie-Cox and the Colts now head into a Week 14 bye and will return to action in Week 15 against the Broncos.
Alie-Cox failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions. Alie-Cox played 42 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps, but the 31-year-old was not targeted by quarterback Anthony Richardson. The veteran tight end has now been held without a catch in 8 of 12 games this season, providing little to no fantasy utility most weeks. Alie-Cox remains off the fantasy radar as the Colts are set to visit the Patriots in Week 13.
Alie-Cox had two receptions for 17 yards on three targets in Sunday's win at the Jets. Alie-Cox started at tight end and played on 28 of of the offense's 70 snaps, but went out on seven routes. Kylen Granson ran 18 routes (one reception) by comparison as the Colts continue to divide up the playing time among three or four tight ends.
Alie-Cox did not draw a target during Sunday's 21-13 loss at Minnesota. Between Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree and Kylen Granson, only one target was earned in Week 9. None of the three tight ends is likely to garner much fantasy value if they can't separate themselves in terms of playing time, and Alie-Cox specifically must clear the additional hurdle of being the one most frequently assigned blocking duties.
