IND ranks 24 of 32 against RBs (one of the softer matchups, 3-game sample).
Vegas implies 26.0 team points as 1.5-point favorites.
Listed RB on the latest depth chart with a 45% snap share.

The call

Role is a committee split: a 45% snap share and 10% target share over 3 games cap his ceiling, which is why he sits at RB36 with 8.3 projected PPR points. That is flex-fringe in a 12-team league.
The environment is favorable. IND ranks 24 of 32 vs RBs (32 = softest), and a 26.0 implied total with a -1.5 spread points to a competitive game with scoring chances. The DvP read rests on a 3-game sample with 0.25 confidence, though, so don't lean on it hard.
Risk factor: Yahoo Sports (2026-09-28) reports he hurt his shoulder in Week 3 vs Seattle and returned in the second half, with Week 4 status tied to Thursday/Friday practice. He carries no designation right now.
What tips it: full practice participation and no game designation make him a reasonable flex in PPR. A limited practice or questionable tag pushes him to the bench behind a comparable replacement.
