Matt

Gay

Gay missed the first two practices of the week but was upgraded to a full practice on Friday. He should be good to go for Week 16. The fact that the Colts haven’t added a kicker to their practice squad all but confirms this.

The veteran kicker is worryingly listed with a neck issue on Wednesday’s injury report. While it may not impact his kicking, concerns for his overall health are warranted. Fantasy managers should not count on Gay for Week 16.

Gay suffered a quad injury in Week 2 that he told reporters was related to the hernia surgery he recently underwent. He is good to go for Week 3, but the Colts may call up Spencer Shrader from the practice squad as a precaution. Fantasy managers should avoid this headache entirely.

Gay is still battling a quad issue, but he was able to play in Week 2 and the full session Thursday suggests he’ll handle kicking duties against the Bears in Week 3.

Gay also made it clear that he’ll “leave it up to the trainers,” which means we may need to wait another day or two to figure out for sure if he’ll kick in Week 3. The 30-year-old claims the quad issue is something that came as a result of his hernia surgery.

Gay missed Week 1 because of a hernia but was active for the following week. He then suffered a quad injury that head coach Shane Steichen said is not related to the hernia. Gay also missed a 50-yard attempt in Week 2. Between the performance and injury concerns, the Colts could move on to Spencer Shrader, who is currently on the practice squad, for Week 3 and beyond.

Gay missed Week 1 while recovering from a hernia he suffered in August. Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Gay will be “good to go” for Week 2 against Green Bay. He should be a reliable fantasy option with the Colts entering the game as heavy favorites against the Jordan Love-less Packers.

Gay was listed as questionable for Week 1 because of a hernia but didn’t practice all week. Practice squad kicker Spencer Shrader will take his place in the lineup. Fantasy managers can look elsewhere for their kicker points this week.

The Colts’ starting kicker Matt Gay has missed practice all week due to a hernia. That puts Shrader in line for his first career start in the Colts’ Week 1 matchup with the Texans. While that matchup carries one of the higher totals of the week and Shrader will be kicking indoors, using a kicker with more experience is the practical move for fantasy managers setting lineups in Week 1.

It sounds like Gay is headed for a questionable tag once the Colts release their final injury report. Gay hasn’t been listed as a participant in practice this week but Steichen told reporters he did kick some this week. If he can’t go, practice squad kicker Spencer Shrader will get the nod. Shrader went 43-of-63 on his field goal attempts in college. This situation is one to avoid for fantasy managers.
