2025 Fantasy Outlook
Leonard is staring down better than average opportunities for a rookie sixth-round pick, as it's within the realm of possibility that Indianapolis' quarterback competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones still leaves the team lacking for a franchise option late into the regular season. Should both Richardson and Jones flame out, Leonard could get a crack at a spot start or two. While Leonard doesn't boast Richardson's all-star athleticism, he did rack up 906 yards and 17 scores with Notre Dame in 2024, and he looks like a potential ideal fit in Shane Steichen's offensive scheme. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.44 million contract with the Colts in May of 2025.
Debuts for final two drives
Leonard took the field for the Colts' final two possessions of Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans, throwing incompletions on two pass attempts and rushing once for one yard.
ANALYSIS
A healthy inactive for the Colts' first five contests, Leonard handled backup quarterback duties for the third game in a row after Anthony Richardson suffered a fractured orbital in a pregame workout prior to the team's Week 6 win over the Cardinals. Though Brett Rypien looms on the practice squad as a potential alternative for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, Leonard looks poised to stick around as Daniel Jones' top backup until Richardson is ready to return from injurd reserve. The rookie out of Notre Dame got the chance to make his NFL debut in garbage time of Sunday's blowout win, going three-and-out on both of the drives he directed.
