Doyle caught his only target for no gain in Saturday's 27-17 win over New England.
EDGE Analysis
Carson Wentz completed just five passes and nobody on the Colts caught more than one. Doyle made his mark as a blocker in the running game, helping open up lanes as Indianapolis piled up 226 yards on the ground, but he doesn't get credit for those contributions in fantasy.

Doyle (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle's reps were limited in Wednesday's session on account of the ankle injury, but his ability to put in a full practice Thursday clears the way for him to enter Saturday's game against the Patriots without a designation. Though he has routinely led the Indianapolis tight-end group in playing time most weeks, Doyle typically isn't a high-priority option in the passing game for quarterback Carson Wentz. Doyle has drawn two or fewer targets in all but three of the Colts' last 11 games.

Doyle (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle was listed as a full participant Tuesday on the heels of the Colts' Week 14 bye, so it's possible that the tight end tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's session. In the team's 31-0 win over Houston in Week 13, Doyle logged 42 (of a possible 72) snaps on offense, en route to catching his only target for 13 yards.

Doyle caught his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle battled a knee injury throughout practice ahead of Week 13, but he ultimately was ruled active and played 42 offensive snaps. Although he was able to play, fantasy managers were left a little disappointed in his overall production. Sunday's performance marked the first time since Week 7 that Doyle didn't record multiple receptions or a touchdown. Doyle will have a bye week to rest his sore knee before the Colts return for back-to-back tough matchups against the Patriots and Cardinals.

Doyle (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle was considered questionable despite practicing as a full participant Friday, so it's hardly a surprise he's active Sunday. The 31-year-old is coming off his best game of the season after catching six of seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown last week versus the Buccaneers.

Doyle (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Despite bumping up his practice activity each day of the week, Doyle was given an injury designation for the first time since Week 4. Since he turned in a full practice Friday, Doyle seems more likely than not to suit up Sunday, but an official word on his status won't come until the Colts release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Doyle has outpaced fellow tight ends Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson in snaps over each of the past eight weeks, accruing a 16-159-3 receiving line on 24 targets over that span.

Doyle (knee) was limited in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
This is a welcome development for Doyle after he sat out Wednesday's practice entirely. With three touchdowns in his last five games, Doyle has built some momentum heading into Sunday's favorable matchup against the Texans. He could still avoid the injury report altogether by upgrading to full participation Friday. If Doyle trends the other direction and winds up in danger of sitting out entirely, fellow tight end Mo Alie-Cox would stand to benefit.

Doyle (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle was on the field for 42 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers, while catching a season-high six passes on seven targets for 81 yards and a TD. It's possible that the tight end's Wednesday absence was maintenance-related, a notion that would be solidified if he's able to practice in any capacity Thursday.

Doyle brought in six of seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle's reception and receiving yardage totals not only led the Colts on the afternoon, but they also qualified as his best numbers of the season in those categories. The veteran tight end also found the end zone for the third time in five games when he scored from 15 yards out in the second quarter, and his clear chemistry with Carson Wentz affords him solid value heading into a Week 13 road divisional clash against the vulnerable Texans defense.

Doyle brought in three of five targets for 30 yards in the Colts' 41-15 win over the Bills on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran tight end tied Jonathan Taylor for the team lead in receptions and paced the Colts in receiving yards despite a very modest afternoon of production. Doyle has topped three receptions in a game only once all season, and he's been at 31 receiving yards or less in nine consecutive contests. On the brighter side, he does now have back-to-back five-target efforts and will look to extend that pattern in a Week 12 interconference matchup versus the Buccaneers.
