The Indianapolis Colts are approaching a pivotal matchup with the Denver Broncos that might decide their season. With plenty of important players ready to take the field against at Mile High, Pro Football Focus has some of the most impactful names for Indy graded. With that in mind, here are three of the best from both sides of the ball.
(Players who are out for the season with injury are omitted from the list)
Josh Downs | Wide Receiver (87.8)
Colts’ wide receiver Josh Downs has been the most reliable pass-catcher this year, leading Indy with 53 catches and is second to Alec Pierce (645) in receiving yards with 594. Downs also has four scores and a solid catch percentage of 67.9.
Downs is the top-rated Colts’ offensive and overall player by PFF standards and has looked the part in 2024. He’s having a great second-year campaign and can continue where he last left off against the Detroit Lions if he can get back in action after a shoulder injury that sidelined him against the New England Patriots.
DeForest Buckner | Defensive Tackle (86.4)
