Kenton Keith Hurt, May Need New Job

Things aren't looking good for Kenton Keith's place on the Indianapolis Colts right now. Not only is Dominic Rhodes back in town after a year away, but Mike Hart was drafted. So far in the pre-season, Hart has 73 yards on only six carries while Keith has gained only 11 yards on four jaunts. Hart has also hauled in five passes for 49 yards.

Now Keith is hurt, and the Colts are hoping that he makes the team's 3:30 practice. Uh, if anything I'd guess Keith should be the one hoping he can go. We've already reported that there are several young players impressing Tony Dungy and company in camp thus far, and that several injured veterans are well on their way to exiting the PUP list quite soon.

Personally, I don't think there's any reason to keep Keith on this roster. Between Joseph Addai, Rhodes, and Hart, the Colts have all the backfield talent they need to succeed in Peyton Manning's Tom Moore's offense.

Fantasy Spin after the jump ...

Rhodes is your Addai handcuff, but in really deep leagues I'd take a flier on Hart. As Sean Lalley hinted yesterday, there's a good chance Hart gets into at least one game to shine. Lord knows this offense makes it easy on running backs to step in and excel.

Basically, as long as Peyton Manning is under center, whichever RB is taking handoffs or catching the ball out of the backfield is a great fantasy option ... no matter who it is.

Just don't expect it to be Keith.
