Jacob Tamme Injury: Colts TE Playing Vs. Titans On Thursday Night Football

NFL.com's Steve Wyche says "all indications are that Colts TE Jacob Tamme is playing vs. Titans tonight," meaning he's probably a safe play to insert in your fantasy lineup. An inactives list will be released soon, but for now plan on playing Tamme tonight.
The Titans give up tons of yards to tight ends, perhaps because their name rhymes with the position. They're third-to-last in yards allowed to tight ends. And Peyton Manning can't have four straight bad games, can he? Especially in a night game, which he's owned throughout his career?
Tamme has missed practice throughout the week with a hamstring injury. Since taking over for Dallas Clark after Clark's week-eight season-ending injury, he's averaged seven catches and 69.3 yards per game and has caught three touchdowns. His biggest game was a 108-yarder with a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. He's yet to catch fewer than four passes, and only once has he caught fewer than six.
