Huddle Up: Pierce was the WR27 in PPR leagues last season despite playing in 15 games. He has a chance to be ready for Week 1 and makes a great WR3.

Huddle Up: Downs is on track to be one of the starting receivers this season and should see a decent amount of targets in the passing game. He can be a No. 4 receiver in most leagues this season.

Huddle Up: If McGowan is RB2 for the Colts, he becomes a savvy late-round stash for Taylor owners. Even if Holder is right, though, fantasy owners will want to see a few games of tangible involvement before considering McGowan for any kind of weekly role.

Huddle Up: Richardson is in a fight to back up Jones this season for the Colts, so Richardson is not fantasy relevant unless he is starting a game.

Huddle Up: Pierce has a 92 ADP in PPR leagues and has been viewed as a low-end WR3. He'll need to show improvement this week to provide optimism for his Week 1 status. Keenan Allen's ADP is around 200, but his stock is rising, and he could be a matchup play in the opener.

Huddle Up: Warren will probably be limited for the rest of the preseason but will be ready for the regular season. He should see plenty of targets in the passing game and will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Warren burst on to the scene as a rookie and was immediately a weekly TE1 as he led the Colts in targets and receiving yards among all pass-catchers in 2025. With Michael Pittman Jr. gone to Pittsburgh, the middle of the field opened up for a further breakout in 2026, but Keenan Allen was recently signed and could provide a slight roadblock to Warren's upside. Still, Warren is a locked-in fantasy TE1 this season and should be Daniel Jones' most trusted target this season.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Warren will miss any additional time because of the injury. He is one of the main parts of the Colts offense and will be a No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues if healthy.

Huddle Up: With 13 seasons and over 1,000 career receptions on his resume, Allen brings a veteran presence to a Colts team that traded away Michael Pittman Jr. during the offseason and has been without Alec Pierce (ankle), who is penciled in to take over as WR1. Allen returned to the Chargers last year after an underwhelming season in Chicago to rack up 81 receptions, 777 yards, and 4 TDs. Allen should step into a starting role alongside Pierce and Josh Downs for the Colts. Despite his age, Allen holds some late-round appeal as a WR5 or perhaps even a WR4 in larger leagues.

Huddle Up: McGowan is unlikely to see much playing time if he does earn the role since Jonathan Taylor will be on the field for most of the offensive plays. McGowan can be avoided unless Taylor suffers an injury.

Huddle Up: Daniel Jones remains the Colts' starting quarterback. While Richardson is starting the preseason, Jones remains a viable fantasy option in lineups in 2026.

Huddle Up: Pierce is starting to be a concern for the Colts and fantasy players alike. If he is going to miss time in the season, Josh Downs would likely step into the WR1 role.

Huddle Up: Downs could see an uptick in targets this year following the trade of Michael Pittman Jr. However, being behind Alec Pierce and Tyler Warren in targets doesn't move him up drastically. He projects as a middle-of-the-pack WR3 or flex play at this point.

Huddle Up: Giddens is struggling to stay healthy, and he is not doing a great job when he is on the field. McGowan has had a tremendous impact, making the most of his opportunities, while Bentley has also shined. Avoid Giddens for fantasy purposes, unless he can miraculously move back past McGowan for the primary backup job to Taylor.

Huddle Up: McGowan isn't necessarily someone to grab in most fantasy leagues, although in the very, very deepest of leagues, and for those fantasy managers selecting Taylor early on, you might want McGowan on your roster for insurance.

Huddle Up: Westbrook-Ikhine is battling holdover Ashton Dulin and veteran Laquon Treadwell for the No. 3 job in Indianapolis. He struggled in Miami last season, but in 2024 with the Tennessee Titans, he posted 32 receptions for 497 yards and nine touchdowns. He can be productive when the situation is right. For now, he is simply a player to monitor for consideration in the very latest rounds on draft day.

Huddle Up: Jones is making his way back from a major injury after a sensational start to his 2025 season. It appears he is comfortably installed as the starting QB in Indianapolis, but he is barely hanging on as a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues. He shouldn't be drafted outside of the deepest of leagues, and formats using two starting quarterbacks.

Huddle Up: It appears Downs will be just fine for the regular season, as there is still plenty of time to recuperate. However, fantasy managers will want to be mindful, and check back for updates. With Michael Pittman Jr. having moved on, Downs is expected to be one of the starters in Indianapolis, and he has WR4 or flex fantasy potential in most leagues. Target him in the later rounds on draft day, and in early drafts, be sure to have some depth on hand just in case of a setback.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players should look for an update on Downs in the next few days to see if he will miss more time because of the injury. He is set to join the starting lineup this season and can be a No. 4 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Taylor was the RB2 in non-PPR and RB4 in PPR leagues last season after rushing for 1,585 yards and 18 TDs. They may try to taper his workload back a bit this year, but he'll still be in the RB4-5 conversation.

Huddle Up: A healthy Jones is good news for all of Indy's skill-position players, including most notably Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren. While you wouldn't consider Jones a viable QB1, his dual-threat ability makes him a interesting QB2 for fantasy owners.

Huddle Up: Taylor is a solidified RB1 option and is expected to stay with the Colts even if a new deal is not secured right now. Whether a deal is secured or not before the regular season, Taylor can be a centerpiece in fantasy lineups in 2026.

Huddle Up: Pierce was the WR27 in 15 games in PPR leagues last season. He'll be a midrange WR3 again in 2026.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Jones receives any days off during camp, but he seems confident about being ready for Week 1. He posted solid numbers before his injury last season but should only be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Huddle Up: The Commanders have been linked to several receivers this offseason, but Allen does not appear to be what the team is looking to add at this point. Allen should find a new team before the start of the regular season but may only be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver depending on his situation.

Huddle Up: They have mentioned Seth McGowan and DJ Giddens becoming more involved, but neither of them are proven. Taylor was the RB2 in non-PPR and the RB4 in PPR leagues. He should still remain in the top five or six RBs in fantasy.

Huddle Up: The question is whether McGowan can prove himself enough to become the primary backup to Jonathan Taylor. DJ Giddens will also be in the mix for the No. 2 running back job, and whoever wins the gig will be worthy of stashing as a handcuff for Taylor.

Huddle Up: Although Jones seems to have a chance to be ready for Week 1, returning from an Achilles injury can be difficult. Don't be surprised if it takes Jones a while to regain his mobility, which will take a toll on his fantasy value. He should be viewed as a midrange QB2 entering 2026.
