SUMMARY
Def / ST Rank: #12   
Overall: #154

The Colts offense gets most of the press, but their defense isn't too shabby. The Colts ranked 12th defensively and allowed just 18.6 points per game. Indy always does a good job of causing turnovers and last year was no exception, getting 15 interceptions and 11 fumble recoveries. The Colts turned four of those turnovers into touchdowns. Their sack totals were down last season (31), but could go back up with Dwight Freeney and Raheem Brock starting at defensive end. Both do a great job of getting after the quarterback. Bob Sanders might be the top safety in the game. When he is healthy and playing, this defense is as good as any in the game. Sanders supports the run well and causes all sorts of problems in coverage, making the Colts a good team against the pass. The Colts continue to search for a return man on special teams. Their punt team really struggled last season and the kickoff team wasn't much better. Pierre Garcon is likely to get the first shot at return duties.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Colts remain a top-10 fantasy defense. They do a pretty good job of causing turnovers, but should pile up the sacks and limit yards for the most part. The special teams don't bring much to the table for fantasy teams, though.
