The eased in part was 100% speculation on my part, though it does make sense given Ebron's play of late. Still, I can see why you'd roll with Doyle over Ricky. Good luck! I am hoping to see Doyle bounce back fast but rolling with the Uzo this week.
Someone dropped him a couple weeks ago and I picked him up. Perhaps I should have started him instead of Njoku. Ugh.
It should be noted Luck threw a TD pass to 3 different TEs; Ebron, Alie-Cox, and Doyle.
Misery loves company. I made that same decision but it was the right decision. The outcome didn't work out of course but Njoku was on a roll.
Doyle led in targets by a good margin though, and I believe he had 100% of the TE targets in the 2nd half.
Pardon the sobbing sounds.... that's just me in the corner expecting to lose by a point or two less than this decision cost me.The eased in part was 100% speculation on my part, though it does make sense given Ebron's play of late.

This was never an informed opinion. Colts like using two TE sets, so no TE is going to have the position locked down. It's more likely that they both vulture from one another a little bit and are, as a result, low TE1's.
Doyle had a shot but got stopped at the 1. Luck is going to aggressively target TEs in the Red Zone, and it looks like he's going to try and target Ebron. Ebron got a TD on a jet sweep (WTF?) and the mother of blown coverages also. It lowers his ceiling considerably but his floor should be safe.Good news -- Colts TEs accounted for all 4 TDs today.
Bad news -- none of them went to Doyle.
Danged Ebron even ran for one.
I think you might have to play both... Doyle the safer floor, Ebron the much higher ceiling. Matchup specific, of course.
Not sure what you expect out of your TE but Doyle's floor is fine. Always on the field on a team that usually target TEs a lot.
From memory, but I had several games on (I have Doyle in one league): I think Doyle had 1 catch on the third drive and then 3 catches on the next drive. I only remember 1 target after that and I think there was a penalty on the play. The Colts had a couple of short td drives after that and the game was out of hand.
... F*****CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!
Actually this in a sense hurts Ebron a little... a lot of that the Colts have been able to do is due to Doyle blocking. They are without a blocking TE now and unless they sign one, Ebron is going to have to block a lot more. Now they could just go FB or slide more protection, but that's going to open up Andrew Luck to more pressure
Huh? Ebron isn’t a blocker, and besides, we have already seen what happens to Ebron without Doyle; he was TE3, and top-5 in targets, receptions, and yards during that span, and #1 in TDS. Why would Indy do something different this time?
They had Erik Swoopes and a decimated WR core? Also, he's the only healthy TE left on the roster... so yeah, he's going to have to block a bit.
