2026 Week 5 Fantasy Football Injury Report: Colts WR Update — Allen, Slayton Questionable

The Indianapolis Colts' receiving room is banged up heading into Week 5, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). The team's final injury report lists wide receivers Keenan Allen (groin) and Darius Slayton (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, while Ashton Dulin has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Keenan Allen

Allen missed last week's win over the Commanders in London with a groin injury but is trending up — he went from limited early in the week to full participation by Friday. That trajectory is encouraging and makes him a viable start if you have him, but "questionable" with a groin injury is not a clean bill of health. Monitor the Sunday active/inactive report before locking him in. If he's out again, the Colts' pass-catchers further down the depth chart become desperation streamers, as we saw in Week 4 when Allen's absence forced others into unfamiliar roles.

Darius Slayton

Slayton is the more concerning case. ProFootballTalk notes he hasn't played for the Colts since signing with them last month, and he was added to the injury report Friday — the worst day to show up on a report — with a knee issue. A player who hasn't yet seen the field for his new team and is now questionable with a knee injury is not a viable fantasy option this week. Stash him on your bench if you're speculating on his eventual role in Indianapolis, but don't play him Sunday.

The Dulin ruling (out, hamstring) is the connective thread here: the Colts are thin at wideout, and if Allen can't go either, this offense faces a genuine weapons problem against Pittsburgh. Dynasty managers should note Slayton's delayed debut — the longer he goes without a snap, the harder it becomes to project his target share once he's healthy.
