Chris Rainey: Waived by Colts
RBFree Agent
July 28, 2014
The Colts have waived Rainey, the Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
The report suggests that the team's decision to waive Rainey was not performance-based. In advance of his release, he was in the mix for a complementary role in the Colts' backfield, more so of late, in the wake of Vick Ballard's season-ending Achilles' injury.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2014
2012
Rainey will try to win a role as a reserve running back, but his best chance to make the roster may be as a kick returner.
The fifth-round rookie would appear to be too small at 5'8/180 to assume the role of a featured running back. More likely, Rainey will operate as a change-of-pace back, receiver and returner.
