Keenan Allen (WR - CHI)
8/17/26 7:36 PM - Colts sign veteran WR Keenan Allen. One-year deal

The #Colts are signing 6x Pro Bowl WR Keenan Allen to a 1-year deal worth up to $8.32M, multiple sources tell me. A big-time weapon for Daniel Jones, as Allen reunites with HC Shane Steichen from their days together with the Chargers in a deal done by @ZekeSandhu of @KlutchSports. (Jordan Schultz on X)

FF Today's Take: With Alec Pierce (ankle) yet to practice this pre-season, the Colts are brining in wide receiver help in the form of 34-year-old Keenan Allen. He will fight for targets with Josh Downs and TE Tyler Warren in an offense led by Daniel Jones who is coming off a December Achilles injury. Once Pierce gets on the field, it will likely be Allen coming in on three wide receiver sets.

D'Andre Swift (RB - CHI)
8/17/26 3:25 PM - Kyle Monangai set to miss a few weeks.

FF Today's Take: It is important to note that "multiple weeks" still gives him time to play in the opener. Unfortunately, his absence probably means he will play limited snaps throughout September as he works on his conditioning. D'Andre Swift should be considered a strong fantasy RB2 for however long Monangai is sidelined - assuming he is still recovering next month - while Roschon Johnson could get a few snaps here and there.
