Trey Sermon

It makes sense from the perspective that the Colts have terrifyingly little depth behind workhorse starter Jonathan Taylor. It makes less sense in that 29-year-old Fournette doesn't seem to have much left to give at this point. Even so, he could be an upgrade on Trey Sermon if he signs. Fournette would be a weak contingency back undoubtedly ticketed for a committee were he to end up in Indy and Taylor went down with injury.

Sermon went down with a hamstring injury two weeks ago in a preseason game against the Colts and hasn't been spotted on the practice field since. ESPN's Stephen Holder reported in June that Sermon, who has bounced around the league in recent years, is likely to function as the Colts' RB2 behind Jonathan Taylor this season. Sermon had 88 yards on 17 rushes in a Week 15 game against the Steelers last season.

The Colts on Tuesday waived RB Evan Hull. That means any team who wants him would have to go through the waiver process. It also leaves only Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson behind Jonathan Taylor on the regular-season roster.

In the end, second-year pro Hull never appeared to really be in the mix for No. 2 duties behind Jonathan Taylor. Trey Sermon won the competition and Hull fell behind Tyler Goodson. Although he's still only 23 years old, it's a poor career development for a player who is no longer a worthy dynasty league stash.
