Indianapolis Colts: 23rd (down 14 spots from 2019)

Bhanpuri’s best quote:

"Although Mack just captured his first 1,000-yard rushing season, he’s a non-factor in the passing game and must hold off FBS’ third-leading rusher from last year, Jonathan Taylor. Fortunately for Mack, Taylor also isn’t known for his pass-catching prowess, so the fourth-year back’s experience could give him the edge over the rookie in 2020."

Losing Andrew Luck sort of exposed how much of the Colts offensive success was from Frank Reich, and how much was because Luck seemed to make everything look good.

I think it is fool’s gold thinking that Philip Rivers is going to come in and turn around the franchise, but even if he does the Colts are likely to be back in a similar spot in 2020 because their quarterback and receiver on this list of triplets (T.Y. Hilton) are both set to be free agents.

Again, even if these two come back you still have to worry about the concern that both are over 30 and are probably no longer close to their peak.

Still, the floor is probably above average for these three but there aren’t any standouts that should be considered top-15 at their position.
