In ESPN's latest 2025 rankings, the Indianapolis Colts' skill position units—wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs—are placed at No. 16, highlighting their potential despite inconsistent quarterback play. This season, the Colts showcased an impressive trio of wide receivers, including Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce, all surpassing 800 receiving yards. Each player offers unique skills, enhancing the offensive playbook under Shane Steichen's guidance. Furthermore, the addition of tight end Tyler Warren adds versatility to both the run and pass game, making the Colts' overall attack more dynamic.

Bill Barnwell emphasizes these players' performance metrics, noting Downs's impressive route-running ability and Pierce’s capacity for making plays. As the Colts prepare for the upcoming season, the focus will be on maximizing this talent around either Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones, aiming for a stronger offensive output that could lead to improved standings in the league.
