Impact Mallory has been a regular on the Colts' inactive list, having suited up for just one game all season (Week 5 against the Raiders) and playing five total snaps in that contest. He'll continue to be in street clothes on game days so long as the Colts' top three tight ends -- Tyler Warren, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree -- are all available.

Takes step back Year 2 Mallory secured four of eight targets for 29 yards across 10 regular-season appearances with the Colts in 2024.

Impact Mallory played two less games in 2024 than as a rookie, though in 2023 he saw 26 targets (versus eight in 2024) and played 153 offensive snaps (versus 90 in 2024). He concluded the 2024 campaign as a healthy scratch. Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox are both pending free agents, so Mallory could be counted on to handle a larger role in 2025, but he may need a strong offseason in order to regain this coaching staff's trust.

Won't play against Big Blue Mallory (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Mallory played in the Colts' last three games and logged one catch (on two targets) for seven yards over that span. However, the 2023 fifth-round pick will be a healthy scratch for Week 17 as Indianapolis goes with Drew Ogletree, Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson as its three active tight ends. Mallory's next chance to play will be in the Colts' regular-season finale against the Jaguars next weekend.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch for Week 11 Mallory (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Mallory appeared in each of the Colts' last seven games, totaling three receptions on six targets for 22 yards across 65 offensive snaps. Mo Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson and Drew Ogletree are the Colts' active tight ends for Week 11.

Gets second reception of season Mallory had one reception for five yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over Miami.

Impact Mallory was the only indy tight end with a reception amid an anemic passing attack under quarterback Anthony Richardson. Mallory played just four snaps on offense and is No. 4 on the depth chart among tight ends, so his upside is limited in the offense.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first reception of season Mallory had one reception for seven yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville. It was his first reception this season.

Impact After being inactive the first three games, he's played the last two games. He played on 16 of the offense's 70 snaps and went out on 13 routes. The Colts continue to divide targets and snaps between three or four tight ends (Kylen Granson played 18 snaps, Mo Alie-Cox played 29, Drew Ogletree played 26). As long as the workload is divided between three our four tight ends, none will have viable fantasy value for most formats.

Slated to make season debut Mallory is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Mallory has yet to play this season. With Jelani Woods (toe) on injured reserve, snaps are available at tight end in Indianapolis. However, Mallory remains behind Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree on the depth chart.

Inactive against Houston Mallory is inactive for Sunday's game against Houston.

Impact With Mallory inactive and Jelani Woods out for the season with a toe injury, Indy's tight-end group has been narrowed to Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree. Mallory could still enter the mix at some point this season.

Makes 53-man roster Mallory has made Indianapolis' 53-man roster.

Impact Mallory missed time early in training camp due to a sore hamstring but is healthy as the regular season begins. Mallory appeared in 12 games as a rookie last season, and the 2023 fifth-round draft pick out of Miami caught 18 of 26 targets for 207 yards. Mallory will be part of a four-man committee at tight end that also includes Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Olgetree. The Colts are likely to split targets between the foursome.

Two receptions in preseason opener Mallory had two receptions for 31 yards on two targets in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver.

Impact Mallory had missed time in training camp due to a sore hamstring, but looked back to full speed. He's competing with Jelani Woods, Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree for playing time in a deep tight end room that lacks a clear No. 1 option. Indy's first preseason game did little to sort the competition other than all five are healthy.

Dealing with hamstring injury Mallory did not participate in Wednesday's practice session due to a hamstring injury, Joel Erickson of IndyStar.com reports.

Impact It's unclear whether Mallory's current hamstring injury is in the same leg that caused him to finish the 2023 sidelined. A return to the practice field is crucial for Mallory, as he's competing with Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree for a backup spot at tight end behind presumptive starter Jelani Woods.
