The Indianapolis Colts have ruled out Donte Moncrief vs. the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15.
Donte Moncrief injury update: WR out for Colts, fantasy owners
The Colts’ offense is banged up with the fantasy playoffs now here.

Moncrief suffered a hamstring injury during the team’s Week 14 loss to the Houston Texans. That has Indianapolis in grave danger of missing the playoffs, so Moncrief not being able to go this week speaks to how serious his injury is.
This has been an injury-plagued season for Moncrief, who has just 28 grabs for 277 yards (9.9 avg.) and six touchdowns. With the fantasy playoffs in full swing, you may be better off cutting Moncrief if a solid player is out there on waivers.
Fantasy Impact: With Moncrief out, the Colts will rely heavily on T.Y. Hilton vs. a stingy Minnesota secondary. Hilton is now ranked by Yahoo! as the sixth-best receiver in Week 15, despite facing one of the NFL’s better secondaries in Minnesota.
Tight ends Dwayne Allen and Jack Doyle will also have more value this Sunday.
