Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers hasn't made much of an impact in preseason, which could lead to a reduced role for him. Right now Rogers is sixth on the depth chart, behind Griff Whalen, meaning he could be the odd man out if the Colts decide to keep five receivers on the final roster.
Da’Rick Rogers remains buried on depth chart, struggling for fantasy relevance
Da’Rick Rogers hasn’t made much headway in his second year and could be on the Colts’ roster bubble. We break down the fantasy implications.

An undrafted free agent in 2013, Rogers was claimed by the Colts halfway through his rookie year. He ended up playing in five games, pulling down 14 receptions for 192 yards and two touchdowns. Rogers fell out of the draft after off-field incidents led to him getting booted from Tennessee.
Fantasy impact: If Rogers and Whalen are indeed fighting for one roster spot, then Thursday's preseason finale will be crucial for both men. Rogers has obvious physical talents but has yet to put it all together yet. Once thought of as an intriguing fantasy prospect, he has fallen well behind Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton, Hakeem Nicks and Donte Moncrief in the pecking order. Rogers can be left on the waiver wire even if he makes the roster.
