2025 Fantasy Outlook
Blackmon joins the Colts via a trade with the Vikings after missing the entirety of the 2024 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL. The cornerback was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, compiling 41 total tackles (34 solo), eight passes defensed, including an interception, and a fumble recovery over 15 regular-season contests in his rookie campaign. Blackmon will now step into a prominent reserve role in the Colts' secondary behind starters Charvarius Ward and Jaylon Jones in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.3 million contract with the Vikings in May of 2023. Traded from the Vikings to the Colts in August of 2025.
Nabs interception in Week 6 win
Blackmon tallied five tackles (four solo) and two defensed passes, including an interception, in Sunday's 31-27 victory versus the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Blackmon's pick came as Arizona was pushing to score, as he intercepted Jacoby Brissett on the Colts' four-yard line early in the second quarter. He took the ball nine yards after the INT, and Indianapolis gradually tromped 87 yards downfield to get into the end zone. Blackmon has notched an interception in consecutive weeks, which has coincided with him stepping into a near-every-down role while the team has managed injuries.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Blackmon (shoulder) recorded 41 total tackles and eight passes defended, including one interception, in 15 games last season. The 2023 third-round pick out of USC was forced to miss the Vikings' final two games due to a shoulder issue, but he was productive when he saw the field. Blackmon started only three games, playing primarily as a rotational cornerback, but he still finished third on the team in passes defended. The 24-year-old could very well be in line for a larger role in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for starting role
Blackmon worked with the starters throughout OTAs and minicamp, and has looked like the team's third-best cornerback behind Shaquill Griffin and Byron Murphy, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Murphy is most effective in the slot, so Blackmon could be playing his way into a starting role on the outside, or at least as a prominent player in nickel packages. Blackmon recorded eight passes defensed as a rookie in 2023 before missing the final two games of the season due to a shoulder injury.
