Colts in 2024 delivered an 8-9 record, a shade off playoff contention, but the passing game has real juice. The offense features a crowded, talented group: Downs, Pittman Jr., Pierce, Adonai Mitchell, Tyler Warren, with Bernhard Raimann anchoring the line and DeForest Buckner tightening the interior. The quarterback question remains unsettled as Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones compete, offering a tantalizing upside if the Colts iron out accuracy, timing, and pocket mechanics. Warren’s arrival plus a heavy 11 personnel approach could push Warren and Downs into regular fantasy relevance, while Downs’ slot-centric role keeps him as a flexible debt-piece or streaming option if the QB situation stabilizes.

Richardson sits at a crossroads in his third season: elite rush potential but the lowest qualified completion rate among passers with 150+ dropbacks. His big-time throw rate is high, yet turnover-worthy plays and a subpar 50.6% completion mark keep fantasy projections cautious. If Jones wins the job, Downs could see improved distribution, while Warren should carve out a meaningful receiving role early in Steichen’s system. Raimann and Buckner anchor a solid foundation up front, with Pittman and Pierce providing steady targets and upside, and the rookie Warren offering a tangible overhang to the Colts’ aerial attack.
