Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
A 2024 fifth-round pick, Carlies was limited to 10 regular-season appearances as a rookie due to a lower-leg injury that necessitated a stint on IR, but he returned for the Colts' last three games. Though Carlies mostly played a rotational role Year 1, only playing 50-plus percent of snaps in one game, he enters 2025 staring down a notable opportunity on defense, mostly due to Indianapolis' shallow linebacker depth chart behind Zaire Franklin.
