2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brents had a chance to earn a starting role in 2024, but after being limited to just two regular-season appearances due to injuries, he seems destined for a backup role behind Jaylon Jones and Charvarius Ward for 2025. The 2023 second-round pick's first line of duty will be to stay fully healthy for the first time in his NFL career, at which point he'll primarily compete with rookie third-rounder Justin Walley for rotational reps.

Signed a four-year, $8.2 million contract with the Colts in July of 2023. Waived by the Colts in August of 2025. Claimed off waivers by the Dolphins in August of 2025.

Foot
November 19, 2025
The Dolphins placed Brents (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Brents is slated to miss the rest of the 2025 campaign and undergo season-ending surgery to address a right foot injury, so it's no surprise to see him land on IR. The Dolphins will need to count on rookie fifth-round pick Jason Marshall for additional defensive reps in Brents' stead, beginning Week 13 against the Saints.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Brents, a second-round 2023 draft pick, moved into a starting role last year and improved in coverage but missed much of the season with injuries. Brents dealt with a pre-draft wrist issue that caused him to miss the firs two regular season games. He then suffered a mid-season quad injury that forced him to miss six games, and a hamstring issue that forced him out of Indianapolis' season finale. He ended up recording 43 tackles (30 solo), six passes defended with one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games. He enters camp as a likely starter at conerback.
Brents, selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, is a huge corner (6-3, 202 pounds) out of Kansas State with an outstanding wingspan, and he's additionally notable for the rare athleticism he boasts on that frame. While Brents' 4.53-second 40 is slightly below average, his 41.5-inch vertical and 138-inch broad jump are numbers you don't often see. Brents should project particularly well in a Cover-3 type of scheme, but tools like his might prove starter-worthy in any scheme. He'll compete for a key role in the Colts' secondary this summer.
