Trey Sermon returned to practice on Thursday and is set to play on Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts clash against the Miami Dolphins. Jonathan Taylor's injury keeps bothering him, and he will stay inactive for another week, opening the door for Sermon to showcase his talent and try to lead his team to a victory.
Week 7 could be important for the Colts with Anthony Richardson's return. It's worth asking if Sermon will be good enough to be a starter for fantasy managers. Let's check his projection against one of the worst teams in the league at this moment.
Should I start Trey Sermon in Week 7 fantasy football?
We don't need to dig deep to find a comparison for Trey Sermon this week, as Tyler Goodson was set to start for the Colts until his teammate returned to practice. According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit tool, Sermon is projected to have a better game, getting the edge over Goodson.
Sermon is predicted to get 11.4 points this week thanks to 57.9 rushing yards and 1.8 receptions for 9.7 receiving yards. He's also projected to score 0.5 rushing touchdowns, while Goodson isn't expected to find the end zone.
Trey Sermon could have a fantasy RB2 upside against the Dolphins this week. His workload will be huge again without Jonathan Taylor on the field, relegating Goodson to a lesser role.
Trey Sermon fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2024 season
Without Jonathan Taylor on the field, Sermon has been able to get more touches. He hasn't been a star like Taylor, but he has put on decent numbers to help the Colts. In five games this season, he's carried the ball 37 times for 91 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
After six weeks, he's considered RB65 and the 194th player in the entire league, so he won't change the course of games but can be a solid addition as a flex. After this game, it will depend on when and how Taylor returns to the pitch.
The Colts haven't been known for using a committee approach in the backfield. Once they get their star running back, Sermon and Goodson's touches will decrease. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old must showcase his talents to help Anthony Richardson and Co. get a second straight win after beating the Titans last week.
