The Indianapolis Colts are playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season. Their wideout room is expected to have a boost as Keenan Allen seems to be ready to go.
Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Keenan Allen is expected to play in Week 5 vs Steelers after overcoming a groin injury. Allen missed Week 4 and was tagged as questionable for this game.
With Allen ready to go, the Colts will have a boost on offense. Given that Alec Pierce is still sidelined, all wideouts must step up to help quarterback Daniel Jones move the chains. Allen is notoriously a QB-friendly receiver.
Colts WR depth chart vs Steelers
With a big game in place, the Colts will rely on veterans to fill their depth chart. The fact of the matter is that this WR room, as it stands for the game vs Steelers, is not precisely stacked. However, Shane Steichen is a very good playcaller, and could draw some plays to still thrive. This is the full WR depth chart:
- Josh Downs
- Keenan Allen
- Laquon Treadwell
- Darius Slayton
- Anthony Gould
- Ashton Dulin
- Deion Burks
The Colts should rely heavily on TE Tyler Warren
Given that the team is dealing with plenty of injuries, the Colts should target Tyler Warren heavily. Warren is one of the best tight ends in the NFL, and he can handle full volume if needed.
Warren has 23 catches this season, grabbing all but four targets. He also has scored twice. Hence, he should be poised for a big-time role today against the Steelers, who are a tough defense.
Key takeaways
- Keenan Allen expected to return in Week 5 after overcoming a groin injury.
- Josh Downs and Keenan Allen lead Indianapolis’ wide receiver depth chart against Pittsburgh.
- Tyler Warren caught 23 passes for two touchdowns through four games this season.
