Andrew Ogletree Suffers Torn ACL
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts rookie tight ...
Colts’ Tight End, Drew Ogletree, has been arrested for felony domestic violence charges and will be out indefinitely.
The 25 year old tight end is accused of body slamming the victim onto the ground after the victim tried to smack Ogletree amidst an argument. Officers were called in, the victim was sent to the hospital, and Ogletree was detained at the scene.
Ogletree made his NFL debut this September after suffering a torn ACL last season in his rookie year. Across 12 games in 2023, he’s recorded 9 catches for 147 yards and 2 touchdowns as part of the Colts’ tight end rotation.
Without Ogletree in the lineup going forward, expect the Colts to lean more on Kylen Granson, Mo-Alie Cox, and rookie Will Mallory- none of which should be in fantasy lineups due to their minimal usage. For dynasty managers, the tight end for to target for the Colts remains Jelani Woods, who has missed the entire season with a hamstring injury, but shows tremendous promise with his rookie production and incredible athletic profile.
Ogletree’s legal issues introduce doubt that he will ever see an NFL field again. He can be dropped in all formats and has bigger issues to worry about than Football.

Colts Tight End Jelani Woods is still dealing with a hamstring injury and is set to miss at least the first 4 games of the season on IR.
Jelani Woods is as intriguing as it gets from an athleticism perspective. While some are hoping for a 2nd year breakout from the Tight End, he recently re-aggravated a pretty significant hamstring from earlier this preseason. This means Woods will miss at least the first four games of 2023 on IR, and we’ll have to hope it doesn’t linger any longer into the season.
The Colts chose to enter the season with 4 other active Tight Ends on their 53-man roster. Of the remaining Tight Ends for the Colts, Mo Alie-Cox is expected to lead the way the first 4 weeks and poses the most tantalizing physical gifts in terms of PlayerProfiler’s Athleticism Score. That said, you can expect all 4 of their active Tight Ends to rotate in and share snaps.
A rotation scenario, and a mobile, rookie QB doesn’t bode well for this Tight End platoon’s fantasy production. Fantasy managers shouldn’t rush to roster any of the 4 other active Tight Ends currently on the Colts roster.
