Speed, speed and more speed. That's the easiest way to describe the Indianapolis Colts receiving trio of T.Y. Hilton, Donte Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett. It also helps that they'll have quarterback Andrew Luck throwing them the ball after they got away from going deep as much when Luck missed nine games last season. And the scary part about the trio is that all three have been in the NFL four years or less.
T.Y. Hilton
ESPN Fantasy Projection: 73.3 receptions, 1,164.4 yards, 6.9 TDs
Over or under: Over, but only if quarterback Andrew Luck plays all 16 games. Hilton had 69 receptions for 1,124 yards while catching passes from five different quarterbacks last season. He also did it while teams knew the Colts weren't going to throw deep. Hilton, who is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances, has been the most impressive receiver during offseason workouts and in training camp. He has the best chemistry with Luck amongst the receivers on the team.
Donte Moncrief
ESPN Fantasy Projection: 72.5 receptions, 903.4yards, 7.4 TDs
Over or under: Over. The Colts have been looking for a possession receiver ever since Reggie Wayne tore his ACL in Week 7 of the 2013 season. Moncrief has the size at 6-foot-2 to get space against defensive backs and the speed to get open. Moncrief may not lead the Colts in receiving yards or yards per catch this season, but it won't be surprising if he leads them in receptions, because he'll be the receiver Luck turns to when a play breaks down.
Phillip Dorsett
ESPN Fantasy Projection: 48.1 receptions, 629 yards, 4.9 TDs
Over or under: Under. It's not that Dorsett doesn't have the talent to surpass those projections. The Colts wouldn't have used a first-round pick on him if that were the case. He also wouldn't be the Colts' clear-cut No. 3 receiver. Dorsett's issue is his durability. He missed five games with an ankle injury during his rookie season and he also missed time during offseason workouts. Dorsett could hover around his rookie numbers -- 18 receptions for 225 yards -- if he goes through another season battling injuries.
