QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Davis Mills535.5355.63802.121.9612.8524.262.90.48223.39
Kyle Allen40.325.6280.11.631.014140.0817.58

Davis Mills: Considering the circumstances, Mills exceeded his 2021 expectations. The third-round rookie completed slightly more than two-thirds of his pass attempts while throwing 16 touchdowns to 10 interceptions over 13 games. Entering his second season as the clear starter, there is an opportunity to build upon last year's production even if he isn't yet a fantasy-viable option outside of two-QB and Super Flex leagues.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Dameon Pierce180.6776.64.720.61470.8135.66

Dare Ogunbowale8.733.90.245.338.80.313.16
Troy Hairston1.43.50.041.18.20.12.56

Dameon Pierce: Pierce never exceeded 106 carries in any season in Gainesville, but the former Gator has featured-back size who runs with physicality and good contact balance. Impressing in training camp and the preseason, Pierce looks "more like he could be the lead back Week 1."

Rex Burkhead: In his first season with the Texans, Burkhead had 122 carries for 427 yards and three touchdowns and added 25 catches for 186 yards. He now has 25-plus catches in three consecutive seasons and four of the past five. While he may rank third on the team in carries, Burkhead should handle the vast majority of pass-down reps.

Marlon Mack: In 2018 and 2019 combined, Mack rushed for 1,999 yards and 17 touchdowns on 442 carries (4.52 YPC). Since then, he has appeared in just seven games with a total of 37 scoreless touches and he appears to behind Pierce (early downs) and Burkhead (third downs) for snaps to enter the season.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Phillip Dorsett28330.71.900058.47
Chris Moore16169.40.900030.34
Jalen Camp1.316.30.10002.88

Brandin Cooks: Cooks has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in back-to-back seasons and six of the past seven. In addition, he has finished as a top-20 fantasy receiver in six of the past seven seasons. As the team's clear go-to receiver, he'll be a reliable WR2 for fantasy managers in 2022 with the upside to outperform his draft status.

Nico Collins: As a rookie, Collins finished with 33 catches for 445 yards and a touchdown. With John Metchie III (acute promyelocytic leukemia) expected to miss the 2022 season, it opens up opportunities for Collins to make a second-year jump. (On a positive -- and more important -- note, Metchie described APL as "the most curable form of Leukemia" and he expects to "make a recovery at a later point in time.")

Teagan Quitoriano2.324.50.20004.8
Paul Quessenberry1.110.20.10002.17

Brevin Jordan: Jordan made his NFL debut in Week 8 and finished with 20 catches for 178 yards and three touchdowns. While those aren't prolific numbers, he was fantasy's TE24 in half-PPR scoring from Week 8 on. Atop the team's depth chart heading into his second season, there is some sleeper appeal with the former Hurricane, especially in TE-premium formats.

Dameon Pierce: Pierce never exceeded 106 carries in any season in Gainesville, but the former Gator has featured-back size who runs with physicality and good contact balance. Like with Marlon Mack, there could be an opportunity for Pierce to seize a larger share of the workload than expected and outperform his ADP. It's likely that Pierce sees his role expand as the season progresses, even if he's behind Mack (and/or Rex Burkhead) to start the season.

Marlon Mack: In 2018 and 2019 combined, Mack rushed for 1,999 yards and 17 touchdowns on 442 carries (4.52 YPC). Since then, he has appeared in just seven games with a total of 37 scoreless touches. Signed to a $2 million, one-year deal, Mack could outperform his ADP as part of a three-headed running back committee that currently lacks a clear top guy.

Rex Burkhead: In his first season with the Texans, Burkhead had 122 carries for 427 yards and three touchdowns and added 25 catches for 186 yards. He now has 25-plus catches in three consecutive seasons and four of the past five.

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Indianapolis Colts.

QUARTERBACKS

Jacob Eason59.336.2400.32.311.64.910.30.0523.38

Carson Wentz: The initial timetable was wide (5-12 weeks), but all indications point to Wentz (foot surgery) being ready for Week 1 against the Saints. Being reunited with Frank Reich, there is some optimism for Wentz to rebound. In their final season together in Philadelphia (2017), Wentz led the NFL in both TD% (7.5%) and QBR (78.5), scored the fifth-most fantasy points (despite missing three games) and was selected to the AP All-Pro Second Team.

Marlon Mack66.2294.62.45753.40.354.8
Jordan Wilkins8.634.80.261.310.30.17.32

Jonathan Taylor: Over his final seven games of the season including a playoff loss, Taylor handled a massive 156 touches, racked up 921 yards and scored nine total touchdowns. Excluding that playoff appearance, Taylor ranked top four in the NFL in touches, YFS, touchdowns and half-PPR fantasy points from Week 11 on. Running behind one of the league's best offensive lines, Taylor carries plenty of momentum with him into 2021 even though the Colts re-signed Marlon Mack.

Nyheim Hines: One of the better receiving backs in the league, Hines finished as a top-24 running back across all scoring formats (RB15 in PPR, RB20 in half-PPR and RB24 in standard) in 2020. Only Alvin Kamara (83) and J.D. McKissic (80) had more receptions than Hines (63) last season.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Zach Pascal27.83702.600066.5
Mike Strachan2.8370.30006.9
Ashton Dulin1.518.50.10003.2

Michael Pittman Jr.: Pittman Jr. scored only one touchdown as a rookie in 13 games, but the big-bodied receiver (6-4, 223) should be utilized as a red-zone weapon more often in 2021. The second-year wideout is a breakout candidate and it wouldn't be a surprise if he emerged as the team's WR1.

T.Y. Hilton: Over the past two seasons, Hilton averaged 50.8 (2020) and 50.1 (2019) YPG, which are the two lowest of his NFL career. A WR4/WR5 in fantasy drafts, the 31-year-old vet could potentially finish the season as Indy's WR3 as the youngsters emerge.

Parris Campbell: After an injury-plagued rookie season, Campbell, a second-round pick in 2019, played only two snaps in Week 2 prior to a PCL injury that ended his 2020 season. Before the injury, he had 6/71 on nine targets and a nine-yard rush attempt in Week 1 last season. If he can stay healthy, he could challenge Hilton and Pittman as the team's most productive fantasy receiver.

Jack Doyle: Over the past four seasons, Doyle's per-game average has declined every season -- 46.0 YPG (2017), 40.8 (2018), 28.0 (2019) and 17.9 (2020). While the Colts run a TE-friendly offense, Doyle will go undrafted in all but the deepest of TE-premium leagues.

Philip Rivers502.3330.33742.124.8614.3216.324.50.08223.41
Reaching the 20-interception mark for the third time in his career, Rivers also set a 12-year low with 23 touchdowns in 2019. Will a change of scenery and a reunion with Frank Reich and Nick Sirianni help the 38-year-old quarterback bounce back in 2020? Given what he showed last season, fantasy owners should temper expectations.
Jacoby Brissett32.119.6216.71.280.459.335.30.2818.1

RUNNING BACKS


PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Jonathan Taylor207.3932.97.2615.4110.90.46150.7
While Marlon Mack may enter the season as the starter, the Colts will "ride the hot hand" and a shift to Taylor getting the larger share of the workload at some point in the season would be a realistic expectation. The most prolific collegiate running back ever over a three-year span, Taylor has shown the ability and durability to handle a workhorse role and possesses a rare combination of speed (sub-4.4) for his size (226 pounds).
Marlon Mack177787.75.318.554.40.34118.11
Posting his first-ever 1,000-yard rushing season on a career-high 247 carries, Mack also set a career low in receptions (14) and targets (17). Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Mack will cede more work to rookie Jonathan Taylor as the season progresses.
Nyheim Hines37.3139.91.1246328.91.1560.5
With Taylor and Mack dominating early-down work, Hines will still be a factor on third downs. Earlier this offseason, Frank Reich said that "it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a game this season that Nyheim Hines has 10 catches."

WIDE RECEIVERS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
T.Y. Hilton71.6995.26.09000136.06
Injuries derailed what could have been another productive season for Hilton, who missed a total of six games and played with a calf tear down the stretch. When healthy, Hilton, fourth on the Colts all-time receiving list, is a WR2 with upside. Offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni has said that he "expect(s) the 2018 version" of Hilton.
Michael Pittman Jr.51.2670.75.3800099.35
The Colts used the 34th-overall pick on Pittman, who has great size (6'4", 223 pounds) to win in contested-catch and red-zone situations and is an underrated athlete (4.52 forty). While the passing offense goes through Hilton, when healthy, it wouldn't be a surprise if Pittman led the team in receiving touchdowns as a rookie.
Parris Campbell44.5498.43.344.721.60.0572.34
Campbell missed the majority (nine games) of the season due to a variety of ailments. The second-rounder from Ohio State finished 2019 with 161 scrimmage yards (127 receiving and 34 rushing) on 22 touches (18 receptions and four carries).

TIGHT ENDS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Jack Doyle48.4496.14.1100074.27
Few teams target tight ends the way the Colts do, so it would be reasonable to expect year-over-year improvement from Doyle's 43/448/4 campaign in 2019 with Eric Ebron now in Pittsburgh.
Trey Burton23.9235.41.9100035
Head coach Frank Reich recently said that Burton is "going to have a really productive year." In this TE-friendly offense, Burton has a chance to significantly exceed expectations if his health cooperates.

PPR Fantasy Football Mock Draft 2019: 12 Teams, 12th Pick

The best way to become good at something is to practice. So, what should you do if you want to draft a better fantasy football team?

Practice, of course!

Leading up to the start of the 2019 NFL season, Kevin Hanson will use the 2019 Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator (powered by FantasyPros) to complete fantasy football mock drafts.


- MORE: Check out Kevin Hanson's way-too-early 2020 NFL Mock Draft.


We will use a variety of scoring formats -- PPR, half-PPR, standard scoring and even 2-QB leagues, league sizes and draft slots. The goal is to give you a good representation of the team that you may be able to construct given your league settings and the rationale of why we made the picks we did.

>> Our mocks will be tracked here: Fantasy Football Mock Drafts.

That said, nothing beats practicing yourself so (check out the simulator) and complete a mock in a matter of minutes.

2019 PPR Mock Draft: 12 Teams, 12th Pick



Without further ado, here are the picks of our 12-team 2019 fantasy football mock draft using point-per-reception (PPR) scoring:

1.12 - Le'Veon Bell, RB, New York Jets

Returning to the field after sitting out 2018, Bell trades the high-powered Steelers offense for an improving-but-not-yet-as-potent Jets offense. Bell had a career-high 406 touches, 1,946 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns in his most recent season. Duplicating that level of production is unlikely, but I have Bell projected for more than 330 touches, 1,600 yards from scrimmage and 10 total touchdowns.

2.01 - James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Conner missed three games and was less productive in the second half of the season, but he still finished as PPR's RB6. In his first eight games, Conner rushed for 100-plus yards five times and scored multiple touchdowns in four of those games. Especially if he can stay healthy and be more consistent from start to end, the sky's the limit for the Pittsburgh's workhorse back.

3.12 - Marlon Mack, RB, Indianapolis Colts

Missing four games in 2018, Mack has now missed multiple games in each of his first two seasons. Highly productive when he was on the field, however, the second-year back had at least 119 rushing yards and a touchdown (or more) in five of his final 12 games counting the playoffs. During that 12-game span, Mack scored 11 total touchdowns. Running behind one of the league's best offensive lines, Mack has legitimate top-five upside despite his late-third draft slot.

4.01 - Brandin Cooks, WR, Los Angeles Rams

No longer with Drew Brees (2016) or Tom Brady (2017), Cooks didn't miss a beat in 2018 with Jared Goff as he had 80 catches for a career-high 1,204 yards and five touchdowns in his first season with the Rams.

5.12 - Robby Anderson, WR, New York Jets

Anderson's numbers were down year-over-year, but he finished strong when Sam Darnold returned from a foot injury. Over the final four games of the season, Anderson had 23 catches for 336 yards and three touchdowns. During that span, Anderson was the WR6 in PPR. With improvement and more consistency from Darnold, Anderson has upside even if I'd ideally prefer him to be my WR3.

6.01 - O.J. Howard, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Injury has cut each of his first two seasons short, but Howard has averaged exactly 16.6 yards per reception in both of those seasons. Extrapolating last year's production over 16 games, Howard would have posted a 54/904/8 stat line. Howard is the clear-cut next-best option after the top three in my early 2019 fantasy projections. As Jameis Winston says, the "moon" is the limit for the third-year tight end.

7.12 - Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers

From 2011 (his rookie season) through 2017, Newton had finished as a top-four fantasy quarterback in five of seven seasons. A shoulder injury slowed and eventually sidelined him down the stretch last season, but Newton was third in fantasy points through Week 13. Newton was the ninth QB off the board in this mock and he's currently the QB5 in my rankings.

8.01 - Tarik Cohen, RB, Chicago Bears

More efficient (10.2 Y/R, 4.5 YPC) on his opportunities with eight total touchdowns in 2018, Cohen may see a dip in 2019 workload with the addition of David Montgomery as a more versatile lead back. Cohen was PPR's RB11 last season and is a top-25 PPR option in my current rankings.

9.12 - DaeSean Hamilton, WR, Denver Broncos

Over each of the final four games of last season, Hamilton had at least eight targets, five receptions and 40 yards and was fantasy's WR22 in PPR during that four-game stretch. Of the team's top three receivers, Hamilton has the potential for the biggest year-over-year improvement and it wouldn't be a surprise if he finished as the team's most productive wideout when the season is over.

10.01 - Rashaad Penny, RB, Seattle Seahawks

In better shape than last year, Penny was on the short end of last year's 74-26 split in workload with Chris Carson, but that margin should narrow in 2019. Earlier this year, coach Pete Carroll said of the Carson-Penny duo that "I don't know who's one and who's two, it doesn't matter to me." Given his first-round pedigree, Penny has enormous upside in Seattle's run-first attack even if he enters the season as Carson's backup.

11.12 - Jamison Crowder, WR, New York Jets

Crowder missed a significant portion of last season and his per-game numbers weren't great. Provided he maintains good health and Darnold takes a step forward, he should be able to return to his 2016/17 level of production.

12.01 - Mohamed Sanu, WR, Atlanta Falcons

Sanu set a career high in receiving yards (838) in 2018 and just missed another in receptions (66, career high: 67). Sanu adds some depth as my WR5 and could be productive during the byes.

13.12 - Robert Foster, WR, Buffalo Bills

A big play waiting to happen, Foster had at least 50 receiving yards and/or a touchdown in six of his final seven games last season. In fact, he had three 100-yard games over that stretch and was one of just nine players to do during that span.

14.01 - Jacksonville Jaguars D/ST

15.12 - Lamar Jackson, QB, Baltimore Ravens

Starting just seven (regular-season) games last season, Jackson led the team in rush attempts (147) and was second in rushing yards (695). Even though eked out only one 200-yard passing game (204 in Week 16), Jackson scored the eighth-most fantasy points per contest during his seven-week stretch as starter.

Andrew Luck602.5400.74398.335.2514.7650.3211.31.26316.1
Winner of the NFL Comeback of the Year Award, Luck threw for 4,593 yards and 39 touchdowns, both of which were the second-most of his career. Finishing as fantasy's QB5 last season, Luck has now finished as a top-five fantasy quarterback in four consecutive seasons where he's played at least 15 games.

Marlon Mack238.91051.29.9128.4244.21.35197.1
Missing four games in 2018, Mack has now missed multiple games in each of his first two seasons. Highly productive when he was on the field, the second-year back had at least 119 rushing yards and a touchdown (or more) in five of his final 12 games counting the playoffs. During that 12-game span, Mack scored 11 total touchdowns. Running behind one of the league's best offensive lines, Mack has legitimate top-five upside despite having a late-second/early-third round ADP.
Nyheim Hines71.3263.81.4350.2341.41.7679.66
The selection of second-round receiver Parris Campbell could cut into his receiving opportunities some, but Hines should get north of 50 receptions as a change-of-pace to Mack.

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
T.Y. Hilton76.81240.36.53000163.21
Excluding the season that Andrew Luck missed, Hilton has five consecutive seasons over 1,000 yards. Hilton missed two games last season and dealt with a high-ankle sprain down the stretch, but he set career highs with 10.6 yards per target, 90.7 yards per game and a catch rate of 63.3 percent. The only drawback with the 5-foot-10 receiver is that he has never had more than seven touchdowns in any of his seven seasons.
Devin Funchess46.3615.85.7900096.32
The Colts target their tight ends often in the red zone, but Funchess gives Andrew Luck a TE-sized receiver. Only 25 years old and just two seasons removed from a top-25 season, Funchess will help Luck more than he'll be a viable fantasy option on his own outside of deeper leagues.
Parris Campbell41.9410.63.1410.547.30.2165.89
Campbell gives the Colts another dynamic speedster, but there's a good chance that he could be No. 5 or even 6 in line for targets as a rookie. Like Funchess, Campbell's 2019 impact will be more of a boost for Luck.

TIGHT ENDS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Eric Ebron51.3574.66.0300093.64
The former top-10 pick, Ebron had a breakout season in his first with Andrew Luck and the Colts. Ebron turned his 110 targets into 66 catches for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. Ebron's target volume will drop as long as Jack Doyle stays healthy all season, but he's in the next tier of tight ends outside the top six.
Jack Doyle52.3475.94.8400076.63
Missing 10 games last season, Doyle (hip) has resumed running routes at full speed. Doyle is essentially going undrafted based on his current ADP, but he is an excellent streaming option for someone that decides to punt the position.
Mo Alie-Cox10.7133.81.6100023.04
Alie-Cox has generated some buzz this offseason and if Ebron and/or Doyle were to miss any time this season, he could parlay that into some fantasy-relevant weeks given how much the Colts offense involves their tight ends.

Indianapolis Colts 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the Indianapolis Colts.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Andrew Luck619.4411.94521.636.8513.9450.3211.31.26329.07
Winner of the NFL Comeback of the Year Award, Luck threw for 4,593 yards and 39 touchdowns, both of which were the second-most of his career. Finishing as fantasy's QB5 last season, Luck has now finished as a top-five fantasy quarterback in four consecutive seasons where he's played at least 15 games.
Jacoby Brissett9.45.663.50.240.146.33.20.023.66

RUNNING BACKS

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Marlon Mack237.91046.89.8729.2251.11.39197.35
Missing four games in 2018, Mack has now missed multiple games in each of his first two seasons. Highly productive when he was on the field, the second-year back had at least 119 rushing yards and a touchdown (or more) in five of his final 12 games counting the playoffs. During that 12-game span, Mack scored 11 total touchdowns. Running behind one of the league's best offensive lines, Mack has legitimate top-five upside despite having a late-second round ADP.
Nyheim Hines69.22561.3851.6350.91.5578.27
The selection of second-round receiver Parris Campbell could cut into his receiving opportunities some, but Hines should get north of 50 receptions as a change-of-pace to Mack.
Jordan Wilkins31.4131.90.944.730.10.0922.38
Spencer Ware13.661.20.417.773.20.2317.28

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
T.Y. Hilton79.91290.46.19000166.18
Excluding the season that Andrew Luck missed, Hilton has five consecutive seasons over 1,000 yards. Hilton missed two games last season and dealt with a high-ankle sprain down the stretch, but he set career highs with 10.6 yards per target, 90.7 yards per game and a catch rate of 63.3 percent. The only drawback with the 5-foot-10 receiver is that he has never had more than seven touchdowns in any of his seven seasons.
Devin Funchess42.3562.64.8600085.42
The Colts target their tight ends often in the red zone, but Funchess gives Andrew Luck a TE-sized receiver. Only 25 years old and just two seasons removed from a top-25 season, Funchess will help Luck more than he'll be a viable fantasy option on his own outside of deeper leagues.
Parris Campbell44.2433.22.4310.547.30.2163.89
Campbell gives the Colts another dynamic speedster, but there's a good chance that he could be No. 5 or even 6 in line for targets as a rookie. Like Funchess, Campbell's 2019 impact will be more of a boost for Luck.
Chester Rogers20.9219.50.8400026.99
Deon Cain11.2136.60.4500016.36
Zach Pascal8.788.70.5200011.99

Eric Ebron52.8591.46.0700095.56
The former top-10 pick, Ebron had a breakout season in his first with Andrew Luck and the Colts. Ebron turned his 110 targets into 66 catches for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. Ebron is a top-six option at the position, but his target volume may drop if Doyle stays healthy all season.
Jack Doyle53.7488.74.5600076.23
Missing 10 games last season, Doyle (hip) has resumed running routes at full speed. Doyle is essentially going undrafted based on his current ADP and is a excellent streaming option for someone that decides to punt the position.
Mo Alie-Cox9.1113.80.9100016.84
Alie-Cox has generated some buzz this offseason and if Ebron and/or Doyle were to miss any time this season, he could parlay that into some fantasy-relevant weeks given how much the Colts offense involves their tight ends.

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Indianapolis Colts

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 Luck539.3331.7404528.616.756.62832.64.3278.1
It will be more than 600 days in between regular-season games and it's been an up-and-down preseason for Luck. The good news, however, is that he's back on the field and he ended the preseason with a strong performance against the 49ers. There is some obvious risk with Luck but also plenty of upside going into 2018. In his past three full seasons, Luck has finished as fantasy's QB4 (2013), QB2 (2014) and QB4 (2016).
Jacoby Brissett16.79.91140.50.36.730.80.30.210.44

Running Backs

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDFLPoints
Marlon Mack123.5518.73.523.7210.90.91.296.96
Mack had 583 YFS, 21 receptions and four touchdowns with an average of 3.8 YPC as a rookie in 2017. With Frank Gore now in Miami, Mack should lead the team's backfield, but his Week 1 availability is "not a slam dunk." Colts owner Jim Irsay talked Mack up saying he "could see [Mack] approaching 1,500 yards" on the year.
Nyheim Hines65.1286.41.430.5280.61.50.872.5
Drawing 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. A disappointing preseason, especially in terms of ball-security issues, could limit his early-season role.
Jordan Wilkins78.6330.12.23.321.50.10.348.36
Especially if Mack misses time to begin the season, the fifth-round rookie out of Mississippi should be able to carve out an early-down role in what could be a committee backfield.
Christine Michael67.4262.92.26.131.70.10.143.06
If Mack sits out the season opener, Michael appears the likeliest of Colts running backs to lead the group in workload. With no shortage of physical tools, Michael (along with the rest of the team's backs) has had a lackluster preseason performance.
Robert Turbin49.4187.71.612.5102.50.60.142.02

Wide Receivers

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
T.Y. Hilton75.812285.80001.2155.2
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. While he likely won't lead the league in receiving yards again, a bounce-back season should be in the cards for Hilton.
Ryan Grant51.4611.73.60000.182.57
Beyond Hilton, Grant appears to be next in line amongst the team's wide receivers. Earlier this month, coach Frank Reich said: "T.Y. (Hilton) and Ryan Grant have really separated themselves." Grant set career highs last season in Washington with 45 catches for 573 yards and four touchdowns.
Chester Rogers31.9414.71.64.515.800.551.65
Daurice Fountain15.9238.51.60000.332.85

Tight Ends

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Jack Doyle59.6548.35.40001.584.23
Doyle finished second on the team in targets (108) last season and posted career highs with 80 catches and 690 yards last season. With the Colts signing Eric Ebron, it's possible that Doyle fails to reach those numbers again. The return of Andrew Luck, however, makes Doyle a back-end TE1 heading into 2018.
Eric Ebron46.6568.54.20000.281.65
Missing multiple games in his first three seasons, Ebron played a full 16-game slate last year and finished 2017 with a 53/574/4 line. The former top-10 pick is still just 25 years old, has 161 receptions for 1,822 yards and 10 touchdowns over the past three years and perhaps the change of scenery will do him some good.

It will be more than 600 days in between regular-season games, but it's been great to see Luck under center in the preseason. In his past three full seasons, Luck has finished as fantasy's QB4 (2013), QB2 (2014) and QB4 (2016). Although his ADP is likely to rise as we approach the start of the season, there is plenty of profit potential based on Luck's current ADP.

Running Backs

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDFLPoints
Marlon Mack157.2660.24.225.3225.211.2117.34
With Frank Gore in Miami, Mack should lead the team's backfield in workload and production, but he sustained a hamstring injury in the preseason opener that is expected to sideline him for a few weeks. In addition, Indianapolis drafted running backs Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins in the fourth and fifth rounds, respectively. Mack had 583 YFS, 21 receptions and four touchdowns with an average of 3.8 YPC as a rookie in 2017. Colts owner Jim Irsay recently said: "Mack has a chance to be a special guy this year. Depends on how many times you want to feed him the ball, 16-20 touches on the ground (a game) and I could see him approaching 1,500 yards (for the season). I really could."
Nyheim Hines79.5349.81.733.83111.70.884.88
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.
