Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Denico Autry remains sidelined due to being on the reserve/COVID list.

Fantasy Impact

Autry should be eligible to return to the team as soon as today, but we may have to wait until Thursday or Friday before we have confirmation of his Week 12 status. With DeForest Buckner being a late addition to the list, the Colts will desperately need Autry's presence in the middle to help slow down Derrick Henry. Also, an accomplished pass rusher who is up to six sacks on the season, Autry returning would be a massive upgrade for the Colts defensive line.

Denico Autry had a major impact on the game, finishing with six total tackles, two TFLs, two sacks, and a forced fumble.

Fantasy Impact

Autry has shown the ability to be a productive player in prior seasons; however, his inconsistencies should have him left on the waiver wire for the time being.
