The Indianapolis Colts' Big 3 are highly rated in the fantasy football rankings

Although the NFL season is still months away, preparations for fantasy football continue all year long.

Under head coach Shane Steichen, the Indianapolis Colts have a handful of interesting talents that play a role in fantasy football.

In his early edition of the top 100 rankings for the 2024 season, ESPN's Field Yates rates the Colts' “Big 3” highly, placing all three in the top 40.

Here is the position of the Colts' big trio in Yates' early rankings:

• RB Jonathan Taylor: No. 13 overall, RB5
• WR Michael Pittman Jr.: No. 24 overall, WR12
• QB Anthony Richardson: No. 39 overall, QB5

These are pretty impressive finishes for the 2024 season. The potential of this trio is enormous, especially if Richardson ends up having a better season than expected.

Taylor should be a solid RB1 option in all formats, although there will be questions about his receiving profile due to Richardson's mobility. Still, efficiency should compensate for a lower target share enough to make him an elite asset as long as he stays healthy.

Pittman is coming off career-best receptions (109) and receiving yards (1,152) this season and will be Richardson's primary target in a system with many RPOs.

Richardson himself has some of the best upside in fantasy football if he stays healthy, and the risk is worth the reward considering his ability as a dual-threat player.
