Notches one catch in loss

Aiken made one 14-yard catch in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Tennessee.

Analysis: On the bright side, at least Aiken made it into the box score this week after being shut out in Week 3. However, with the return of Alshon Jeffery, the 29-year-old was on the field for just nine snaps and was flagged for a third-quarter holding penalty on one of them. With Jordan Matthews having vaulted up the depth chart in the short time since his signing, an injury will likely have to befall the Eagles' receiving corps before the Central Florida product sees a meaningful amount of playing…read more

Absent from box score in loss

Aiken played 45 offensive snaps (55 percent) in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Colts but was not targeted in the passing game.

Analysis: Seven other Eagles saw multiple targets on the day, leaving Aiken out entirely despite his ranking fourth among skill players in snaps. While it is certainly discouraging he didn't see any looks in Carson Wentz's return, the fact that the 29-year-old was on the field so much would indicate he'll probably get a few more chances if Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is still out Week 4 at Tennessee.

Sees six targets in loss

Aiken caught five of his six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Aiken just re-signed with the Eagles this week with Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) set to miss another game and caught the first pass of the game from Nick Foles for a three-yard gain. The 29-year-old would see more action after Mike Wallace left the first quarter with an ankle injury. If Jeffery and Wallace are forced to miss more time, Aiken might be in line for more work against the Colts in Week 3.

Returns to Philly

Aiken signed a contract with the Eagles on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Aiken spent the preseason with the Eagles but was released during roster cut-downs. Don't expect the veteran to see much action on offense as he will likely serve more of a depth role.

Aiken, who totaled 15 receptions for 133 yards on 44 targets in 15 games this season, now heads into free agency for the second straight season.

Analysis: It was a tough first go-round in Indianapolis for Aiken, who logged career lows in receptions, yards and touchdowns, despite making seven starts with the team. It's difficult to say if his 2017 performance will garner another deal from the Colts, especially with Donte Moncrief also entering free agency. However, Aiken's breakout 2015 season with the Ravens could still be relevant enough to get him a deal somewhere in the league.

Aiken played just seven snaps on offense and was not targeted in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

Analysis: Aiken missed practice time during the week due to a hamstring injury but wasn't on the injury report and it didn't appear to be a factor in his lack of playing time. Aiken has become buried on the bench due to his inability to catch the ball as he's hauled in just 14 of 38 targets.

Aiken (hamstring) doesn't have a designation in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Analysis: Aiken has mostly been a persona non grata in the Colts' passing attack this season. As evidence, he's earned 62 percent of the offensive snaps but turned the third-most targets on the team (38) into a measly 14 catches for 131 yards and no touchdowns. Although his health isn't in question, he's barely worthy of consideration in any format.

Aiken (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: The Colts' bye week enabled Aiken to progress to the point that he's returned to practice, but even if he does suit of Sunday against the Titans, he'd be a Week 12 fantasy dart in the context of Indy's offense.

Aiken (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Analysis: Aiken's absence this week should open up added opportunities for Chester Rogers and Matt Hazel, but neither is a high-percentage lineup dart this weekend, especially if both T.Y. Hilton (groin) and Donte Moncrief are available. Hilton was able to practice in a limited fashion Friday but is listed as questionable by the Colts heading into the weekend.

Aiken (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.

Analysis: That's a downgrade from Wednesday's limited session, which clouds Aiken's status in advance of Sunday's game against the Steelers. In any case, Aiken is only an option in the deepest of fantasy leagues, having topped out at 33 receiving yards this season.

Aiken (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Analysis: The No. 3 receiver in a shaky offense, Aiken has struggled the past two weeks, first dropping a pair of key passes in a 24-23 loss to the Bengals in Week 8, and then going catchless in Sunday's 20-14 win over Houston. Given that Aiken has caught only 14 of 36 targets for 131 yards, the Colts may soon give Chester Rogers a look in the No. 3 role, even if this hamstring injury doesn't turn out to be significant.
