2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2024 fifth-round pick, Carlies was limited to 10 regular-season appearances as a rookie due to a lower-leg injury that necessitated a stint on IR, but he returned for the Colts' last three games. Though Carlies mostly played a rotational role Year 1, only playing 50-plus percent of snaps in one game, he enters 2025 staring down a notable opportunity on defense, mostly due to Indianapolis' shallow linebacker depth chart behind Zaire Franklin.

Has lead on starting LB role
Carlies (shoulder) is the favorite to start at linebacker opposite Zaire Franklin heading into training camp, the Indianapolis Star reports. "We think (Carlies) can really ascend," GM Chris Ballard said recently.
ANALYSIS
Carlies moved from safety to linebacker last season and started six games. He recorded 36 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended over 231 defensive snaps in 10 games. He underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason and missed spring practices, but he is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.
