2024 Fantasy Outlook
Despite starting three games in 2022 and ostensibly being in the mix to be a starter or backup last summer, Ehlinger appeared in just one game for the Colts last season. His low usage even took place despite the early season-ending shoulder injury to starter Anthony Richardson. Ehlinger is a clear No. 3 quarterback with the Colts signing Joe Flacco to back up Richardson this season. Ehlinger may not make the 53-man roster since NFL rules this season allow you to activate a third QB from the practice squad. Either way, it would like take several injuries until the Colts gave Ehlinger substantial playing time again. Read Past Outlooks

Emergency third QB Sunday night
Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Ehlinger is serving as the emergency third quarterback, meaning he can only enter the game if starter Joe Flacco and backup Anthony Richardson can't play due to injury. The 2021 sixth-round pick has yet to appear in a game this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
In four games last season, Ehlinger completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 573 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. With the team's initial 2022 starter Matt Ryan no longer in the mix ahead of the coming campaign, Ehlinger is presumably destined to fit in as the Colts' No. 3 signal caller, now that veteran Gardner Minshew and highly-touted 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson are both on board. In that context, it would likely take an injury or two before the mobile 2021 sixth-rounder re-enters the starting equation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting familiar voice in helmet
Ehlinger will have passing game specialist/assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier, with whom he's worked closely since being drafted in 2021, as his play caller beginning with the Colts' Week 10 matchup against the Raiders, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Former head coach Frank Reich had been the voice in Ehlinger's earpiece over his first two NFL starts in Weeks 8 and 9, but he'll now be getting his directives from an even more familiar source. Holder reports the 30-year-old Frazier, who'll be performing play-calling duties for the first time, has worked closely behind the scenes with Ehlinger since the team drafted him in 2021. Like Reich, Frazier is a former quarterback, though he topped out at FCS program Murray State rather than having an NFL career.
