Kwity Paye
DE - Indianapolis Colts
2024 Outlook
The Colts exercised the fifth-year option on Kwity Paye’s contract.
Fantasy Impact
Paye is coming off a career season where he recorded 8.5 sacks. He'll look to continue to improve on the defensive line for the Colts.
Kwity Paye has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
Paye had reportedly aggravated his ankle injury last week after being listed as questionable entering the game. His absence will be a big loss for the Colts pass rush.
According to Stephen Holder of ESPN, edge rusher Kwity Paye, a 2021 first-round pick, suffered a bone bruise at practice on Wednesday, dodging a serious knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
Paye's injury isn't believed to be serious, fortunate news for the Indianapolis Colts. In 2021, he had 32 tackles and three tackles for loss with 10 quarterback hits and a forced fumble while playing 66% of the team's snaps. Paye should be able to return soon, adding depth to the Colts' pass rush while they wait for a sophomore surge from the Michigan product.
Per Adam Schefter, Kwity Pays will miss the rest of Sunday's game with a hamstring injury.
Fantasy Impact
With Paye slotted to miss the rest of the game, the short-handed Colts defense will be even more short-handed.
The Indianapolis Colts have selected EDGE Kwity Paye with the No. 21 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
Indianapolis was always likely to draft a lineman, whether it was on the offensive or defensive side was up in the air. They go with the powerful edge rusher in Paye, who is a raw prospect coming out of Michigan. Look for the Colts to try and upgrade their offensive line in the coming rounds.
