In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Indianapolis Colts.

Quarterbacks

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDFLPoints
Andrew Luck521.6320.8391227.116.255.12812.84.5268.38
Assuming Luck is under center against the Bengals in Week 1, it will be 616 days in between games. One major positive is that Luck continues to be pain-free in his shoulder after throwing sessions. Still without In his past three full seasons, Luck has finished as fantasy's QB4 (2013), QB2 (2014) and QB4 (2016). If he can stay healthy for the entire season, there is plenty of profit potential for those willing to roll the dice on Luck.

Running Backs

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDFLPoints
Marlon Mack152.36323.825222.511.2111.85
With Frank Gore no longer in the picture, Mack is the favorite for the largest share of the backfield's workload, but Indianapolis drafted running backs Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins in the fourth and fifth rounds, respectively. Mack, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, had 583 YFS, 21 receptions and four touchdowns with an average of 3.8 YPC as a rookie in 2017.
Nyheim Hines78.43451.628.82651.40.877.4
Drawing some comparisons to Darren Sproles, Hines is an explosive (4.38 forty) athlete, converted wide receiver and his versatility should allow Frank Reich to move him all over the field.

Wide Receivers

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
T.Y. Hilton71.411715.40001.2147.1
Failing to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the first time since his rookie season, the new offense and return of Andrew Luck bodes well for Hilton, who led the NFL with 1,448 receiving yards in 2016. A bounce-back campaign is on the horizon for the speedster, but one concern is the lack of touchdowns -- Hilton has never had more than seven scores in a season.
Chester Rogers38.7503.11.93.612.600.561.97
Ryan Grant35.7421.32.50000.156.93

Tight Ends

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Jack Doyle57.1525.35.10001.580.13
Doyle finished second on the team in targets (108) last season and posted career highs with 80 catches and 690 yards last season. By signing Eric Ebron, it's possible that Doyle fails to reach those numbers or perhaps even his 2016 numbers (59/584/5).
Eric Ebron44.6544.140000.278.01
Missing multiple games in his first three seasons, Ebron played a full 16-game slate last year and finished with 53/574/4. Ebron has 161 receptions for 1,822 yards and 10 touchdowns over the past three years combined. The former top-10 pick is still just 25 years old and perhaps the change of scenery will do him good.
