Wide Receiver (5)
WR1 | WR2 | WR3 | WR4 | WR5 |
T.Y. Hilton | Michael Pittman Jr.* | Zach Pascal | Parris Campbell | Daurice Fountain |
Analysis: How the depth chart forms will certainly be something to watch in this room as the offseason progresses. We know Hilton will be the WR1 working both on the outside and in the slot. He’s still extremely valuable and talented, but he must prove he can stay healthy after two seasons dealing with constant ailments. Pittman Jr. isn’t necessarily the automatic WR2 but given his skill set as an X-receiver—the only one on the roster—he’s likely to have a prominent role early on. Pascal is coming off of a solid season and will work as a complementary receiver as a flanker. Campbell will compete with him for the WR3 and after the addition of Pittman Jr., it wouldn’t be a surprise to see almost all of his work come from the slot. The final spot will likely be fought for by a number of players. It will all come down to special teams, but right now we are giving the benefit of the doubt to Fountain, who is coming off of a lost season. The Colts used a sixth-round pick on Washington State’s Dezmon Patmon. He’s extremely intriguing given his traits and should be in the conversation for the final spot.
Notable cuts: Ashton Dulin, Dezmon Patmon*
