NFL Position Roles - Indianapolis Colts

03/20/24 Jonathan Taylor should see most of the RB touches. Taylor will be heavily used near the goal line, though he could come on on some obvious passing downs. Trey Sermon and Evan Hull will compete to see which player occasionally sees the field when Taylor steps off. Hull was injured last season, but he could emerge as the receiving RB.

03/20/24 Michael Pittman should dominate the WRs in targets. Pittman is also a big target when the Colts need an option in the red zone. The No. 2 WR is Josh Downs. Often lined up in the slot, Downs will play the majority of snaps, though he may not be an every down player. The expectation is Downs trails only Pittman in targets. Alex Pierce was a full-time outside WR last year. It seems probable that Pierce will remain in that role, though it won't likely result in many targets.

03/20/24 Currently, Kylen Granson sits atop the depth chart. However, the Colts mix in their TEs liberally, and it's impossible to know which one gets targets in a given week. Aside from Granson, Mo Alie-Cox, Jelani Woods and Will Mallory will compete for work. Finally, Drew Ogletree (Commisioner's Exempt List) will need to be cleared before regaining a role in the offense.
