Doyle caught both targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle led his position group with 41 snaps on offense (76 percent), while Mo Alie-Cox and Trey Burton finished with 25 and 19 snaps, respectively. Philip Rivers directed five total targets at the position Sunday, and with a fairly even split between the three tight ends, nobody produced meaningful numbers.

Doyle corralled all three of his targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 44-27 win against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Michael Pittman and Nyheim Hines both exceeded Doyle's target share Week 14, but with an efficient day, the Western Kentucky product finished second on the team in receiving output. Sunday's showing marked just the second time all season Doyle has exceeded 30 receiving yards, though he only did so on four occasions during 2019 while earning the second Pro-Bowl nod of his career. Doyle's targets are way down in 2020, as Trey Burton and Mo Alie-Cox continue to have passing-down roles. Doyle attracted 42 targets through 11 appearances last year, but thus far he has drawn just 22 in an equivalent 2020 sample.

Doyle caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle's usage is slipping. For a consecutive game, he finished second among Colts' tight ends in snaps with 38 snaps (55 percent), while Mo Alie-Cox logged 44 snaps (64 percent) and caught three passes for 23 yards. The 30-year-old has an 11-126-3 line through 10 games.

Doyle failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 41-26 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old received the start but saw less playing time than Mo Alie-Cox and Trey Burton, the latter of which caught three passes for 43 yards and a touchdown. Doyle has only one reception for six yards in three games since catching two passes for 18 yards and a touchdown during Week 8. The playing time from all three tight ends makes any of them difficult to trust, but Doyle appears to be the low man on the totem pole in the passing game.

Doyle had a six-yard touchdown reception on his only target in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle returned after missing a game due to a concussion and played the most among Indy's tight ends. Trey Burton played on 24 of the offense's 84 snaps while Doyle played on 45 snaps and Mo Alie-Cox played on 43 snaps. However, Doyle went out for a pass just 11 times, which was the least of the trio. Doyle appears to be the least likely to produce in the passing game as a result, but it's hard to depend on any tight end's production with all three active in the passing game.

Doyle (concussion) will play in Sunday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle officially cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol Saturday, and he won't carry an injury tag into Sunday's game. The veteran tight end has been a touchdown-dependant fantasy option, as he hasn't surpassed three receptions or 50 yards in a game this season.

Doyle (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle wrapped up the week with full practices Thursday and Friday, but he'll take an injury designation into Sunday since he has yet to officially clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Assuming Doyle gets the green light from an independent neurologist before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll be part of a three-man timeshare at tight end with Trey Burton and Mo Alie-Cox.

Doyle (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle has been sidelined since suffering the concussion back on Nov. 8, but his full activity in Thursday's practice represents a positive step forward in his recovery. That said, the tight end still remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, according to Stephen Holder of The Athletic. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Doyle and position mate Mo Alie-Cox (knee) approach Sunday's game against the Packers with an injury designation.

Doyle remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and won't practice Wednesday, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle suffered his concussion back on Nov. 8, so it's concerning that he has yet to gain clearance as the Colts prepare for Sunday's game against the Packers. If Doyle remains out this week, Trey Burton and Mo Alie-Cox would once again be in line to handle tight-end duties Week 11.

Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Doyle is still in the concussion protocol, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doyle sat out last Thursday's win over the Titans while in the five-step concussion protocol, and he'll need to achieve full medical clearance prior to retaking the field. If he's unable to get the green light in time for Sunday's game against the Packers, Trey Burton and Mo Alie-Cox would once again be in line to split Indianapolis' top tight end reps.
