Grant (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Bills, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant's absence could be cushioned by the likely return to action of T.Y. Hilton (hamstring), with Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal on hand to round out of the top of the Colts' Week 7 wideout corps.

Grant (ankle) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant's absence from both of the team's first two practices of the week is cushioned by T.Y. Hilton's (hamstring) return to the field, as the Colts' top wideout logged a full session Wednesday and was in uniform again Thursday. Even if Grant is able to shake off the ankle issue and play Sunday against the Bills, Hilton's availability for the contest would likely hinder Grant's involvement in the passing game to some extent. Grant was targeted 14 times while Hilton sat out the past two weeks, notching eight receptions for 82 yards.

Grant (ankle) was absent from practice Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant still has some time to return to the practice before Sunday's game against the Bills, but for now his Week 7 status is cloudy. On the plus side, from the Colts' perspective is that top wideout T.Y. Hilton was able to practice Wednesday.

Grant (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Jets after suffering an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his exit, Grant had caught two of his five targets for 24 yards. With T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) already out, the Colts' Week 6 wideout corps is now headed by Chester Rogers, Zach Pascal and Marcus Johnson.

Grant brought in six of nine targets for 58 yards in the Colts' 38-24 loss to the Patriots on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With both T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) and Jack Doyle (hip) sidelined, it was up to Grant and Chester Rogers to take on a large portion of the workload in the passing game against the Patriots. The veteran wideout did his part, posting a season high in both receptions and targets. Grant's 9.7 YPC was his lowest of the season thus far, but he's now seen his targets climb over those of the previous game for three straight weeks. He'll llook to continue offering serviceable PPR production against the Jets in Week 6.

Grant and Chester Rogers will serve as the Colts' top two wide receivers while T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) is held out for Thursday's game in New England, ESPN.com's Mike Wells reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite playing more than 70 percent of the snaps every week this season, Grant has accounted for just 12.3 percent of his team's target total, averaging 4.5 catches for 47 yards on 5.8 chances per game. He doesn't offer a ton of upside as a possession receiver, but there's a clear opportunity for volume in a matchup that likely will force Andrew Luck to chuck the ball around once again.

Grant nabbed five of seven targets for 64 yards Sunday in the Colts' 37-34 overtime loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Though T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) played less than half of the Colts' offensive snaps, Grant didn't benefit much from the absence, as Nos. 3 and 4 wideouts Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal instead saw double-digit targets in the shootout. Thanks to his team playing from behind for most of the contest, however, Grant still managed a season-best yardage total while Indianapolis called 66 passing plays against 17 runs. The rough state of the Colts' ground game could lead to another shootout Thursday against the Patriots, but even a more slightly balanced offensive attack would render Grant a low-upside fantasy option.

Grant nabbed three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Grant slipped past his defender and connected with Andrew Luck in the back of the end zone on a game-tying five-yard fade late in the first quarter. It was a welcome bit of good news for Grant who, after being targeted nine times in Week 1, has seen just six passes in the following two weeks. It'll be interesting to see how Grant's role evolves as Luck's health presumably improves in the coming weeks. On one hand, a healthier Luck is better for the Colts as a whole. On the other, the short passes Luck has focused on early on play more to Grant's strengths than fellow receiver T.Y. Hilton's. We'll get a better idea next week with a tough divisional matchup against Houston.

Grant had two receptions for 30 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Grant didn't repeat the heavy usage of Week 1 (eight receptions and nine targets), but he still played the second most snaps on offense (43 snaps) of a receiver after T.Y. Hilton (55). He also played significantly more snaps than third receiver Chester Rogers (26 snaps) even though Rogers had three receptions. Grant still looks like the No. 2 option, but no receiver after Hilton had more than three receptions Sunday.

Grant caught eight of nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 34-23, Week 1 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Grant was Andrew Luck's target of choice underneath, with none of his gains going for more than 13 yards. Indianapolis aired it out 53 times in this one, so it's fair to question whether this workload is sustainable for Grant. That being said, he seems to have emerged as the team's second-best wide receiver after T.Y. Hilton.
