Fantasy Football: Donte Moncrief ruled out for Week 15

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Six touchdowns this season have made Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Donte Moncreif a viable fantasy football option.

But you will be without his services this weekend in the fantasy football playoffs.

On Friday, the Colts ruled out the talented third-year wide receiver due to a hamstring injury. Moncrief left the Colts' Week 14 loss to the Houston Texans in the fourth quarter and did not practice all week.

If you have Moncrief stock on any of your fantasy teams, go look for a better option before your opponent scoops one up. Moncrief's absence should give a slight boost to the Colts' other playmakers.

Second-year wide receiver Phillip Dorsett is expected to step in for Moncrief this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. Dorsett is not on the WR3 radar.

The Colts kickoff against the Vikings at 1 p.m. Sunday, from U.S. Bank Stadium. Moncrief, 23, has 277 yards and six scores on 28 receptions this season.
