Indianapolis Colts Week 16 Player of the Week

Week 16 was one to forget for the Indianapolis Colts, which makes it difficult to find this week's Colts Player of the Week.

But one player who certainly did his part was TE Kylen Granson.

Kylen Granson is keeping the Colts offense in this at the moment. He's the only skill player really doing much.

With the Colts missing their top WR, Michael Pittman Jr., this week, they needed other offensive playmakers to step up. And while it was a losing effort, Granson did just that in Week 16.

Granson's Week 16 stat line:

5 receptions, 62 yards (led team)

Granson's stat line may not wow anyone, but how he did it earned him this week's Player of the Week. Without Pittman Jr., Minshew needed someone to be his first down safety blanket; today, that was Granson. He made multiple key plays to extend Colts drives. Ane ultimately looked like one of the only players to show up for the Colts today.

Hopefully, this is a week Granson can build off, so it doesn't go completely to waste. But even though it was a disappointing outcome, he and the team should be proud of his play in Week 16
