RBs very active
We talked about how Mack essentially ran the day for the offense with multiple big runs, but the backfield continues to be arguably the most active position group on the offensive side of the ball. Between the three running backs having big runs while also catching passes, this group is bound for a big season.
Here’s how the receptions broke down for the Colts:
Catches from Rivers today: Hilton 5, Burton 3, Hines 3, Campbell 2, Mack 2, Taylor 2, Pascal 1, Alie-Cox 1
Catches from Brissett: Alie-Cox 4, Patmon 3, Taylor 3, Hines 2, Fountain 1, Farrod Green 1
Catches from Eason: Hines 2, Patmon 1, Fountain 1, Vollner 1
Kelly: Fountain 1

As expected, Hines is extremely active in the passing game, especially with Rivers under center. But Mack and Taylor are also extremely active in the passing game and should continue to be viewed as such entering the season.
