NFL Position Roles - Indianapolis Colts

6/19/25 - Jonathan Taylor is the lead back after averaging 23 carries and 2 targets from Week 11 on along with 67% of the red zone work. Taylor should continue to get as much work as he can handle. Fifth-round rookie Khalil Herbert and Tyler Goodson will compete for the work that Taylor cannot handle.

6/19/25 - Michael Pittman is the No. 1 WR and was averaging 7.5 targets from Week 11 on, and he could see similar volume this year. The No. 2 WR is Josh Downs, who was not far behind Pittman with 7 targets per game. The No. 3 WR is Alec Pierce, who was seeing 5 targets per game and should reprise his downfield role. Adonai Mitchell will likely be the No. 4 unless he can push Pierce in camp.

6/19/25 - Tyler Warren was selected in the first round of this year’s draft and should be the lead TE. The big question is how many targets he’ll see in a run-heavy offense that already has a trio of capable WRs.
