Summary

The Colts were a mess defensively last season, ranking 25th overall. It didn't help the offense couldn't score any points or move the ball with consistently, leaving this unit on the field way too long. With an improved offense, the defense should be better this season. The Colts have some pieces in place for success on this side of the ball, including, defensive ends Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney. These guys give the Colts a ton of sack potential. The secondary is a concern for the Colts. Indy didn't allow a ton of yards through the air but the corners made very few plays, having just eight interceptions last season. The special teams aren't too exciting for the Colts as they have several options vying for the return roles. This could be an area of concern for the team.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Colts have some sack potential but that is about it. This unit might be worth a spot start in the right matchup but aren't a group you want to draft. Indianapolis was dead last in fantasy scoring in most formats. They are far from exciting.
