2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brents had a chance to earn a starting role in 2024, but after being limited to just two regular-season appearances due to injuries, he seems destined for a backup role behind Jaylon Jones and Charvarius Ward for 2025. The 2023 second-round pick's first line of duty will be to stay fully healthy for the first time in his NFL career, at which point he'll primarily compete with rookie third-rounder Justin Walley for rotational reps.

Dealing with hamstring issue

Hamstring
July 29, 2025
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Tuesday that Brents is nursing a hamstring injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Brents got healthy from his groin injury during OTAs, but he's now sustained another soft tissue issue early during training camp. Fellow cornerback Jaylon Jones (hamstring) was carted off Tuesday due to a hamstring injury of his own. With both Brents and Jones sidelined, rookie third-round pick Justin Walley figures to benefit from increased reps at camp.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Brents, a second-round 2023 draft pick, moved into a starting role last year and improved in coverage but missed much of the season with injuries. Brents dealt with a pre-draft wrist issue that caused him to miss the firs two regular season games. He then suffered a mid-season quad injury that forced him to miss six games, and a hamstring issue that forced him out of Indianapolis' season finale. He ended up recording 43 tackles (30 solo), six passes defended with one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games. He enters camp as a likely starter at conerback.
Brents, selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, is a huge corner (6-3, 202 pounds) out of Kansas State with an outstanding wingspan, and he's additionally notable for the rare athleticism he boasts on that frame. While Brents' 4.53-second 40 is slightly below average, his 41.5-inch vertical and 138-inch broad jump are numbers you don't often see. Brents should project particularly well in a Cover-3 type of scheme, but tools like his might prove starter-worthy in any scheme. He'll compete for a key role in the Colts' secondary this summer.
