        Colts Rule DeForest Buckner Out vs. Falcons

        Colts DT DeForest Buckner won't travel to Germany with the team for Sunday morning's game against the Falcons, according to multiple reports. Buckner's dealing with a neck injury. Fortunately, he'll get a Week 11 bye on the other side of this game to rest it. We'll see whether anything else comes out about Buckner missing further time.

        Losing Buckner takes one of the best players out of Indy's defense, improving the matchup for both Atlanta's RBs and damaging the pass rush.

        We're not moving any Falcons significantly in the rankings for Buckner's injury, but it's a friendlier spot.

        Similarly, the Colts defense already sat outside our top 20 and didn't look like a Week 10 fantasy factor.
