Andrew Luck #12 of the Indianapolis Colts looks to pass in the second half against the New England Patriots of the 2015 AFC Championship Game at Gillette Stadium on January 18, 2015 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. "

TY Hilton (Wide Receiver): Hilton suffered a concussion in the preseason however should be full go by week 1. Hilton will be one of many weapons Luck has to choose from so he may not get as many looks as he has in the past. Hilton also signed a fat deal in the offseason which could make him content to let other wide receivers take the lead. Hilton is a borderline WR1.

Andrew Luck (Quarterback): Luck has the most weapons he has had since he was drafted. The fact that they added an every down running back and 2 play making wide receivers makes this offense especially potent. Luck should have a better year than any quarterback in the NFL.

Frank Gore (Running Back): Gore is now with a brand new team that should help him not get lit up every time he carries the ball. The great thing about the Colt's is defenses have to worry about Luck running for yards, wide receivers getting open down the field, and now Frank Gore punishing defenders in the middle of the field. Gore should see some passes thrown his way but he will predominantly be a goal line threat and the Colts every down back.

Andre Johnson (Wide Receiver): Johnson should be the primary goal line target for the passing attack in the end zone. Johnson is bigger than most of the other receivers and given his age and the amount of miles on him I could see him being more of a red zone target and less of a big play wide receiver.

Phillip Dorsett (Wide Receiver): Dorsett is the only rookie on this list and will likely get the third wide receiver snaps. Dorsett suffered a knee sprain in the offseason and this has limited his reps towards the end of preseason but he was drafted too high to sit on the bench. Dorsett is said to have Desean Jackson like speed so he should be a player to lookout for.

Dwayne Allen/ Coby Fleener (Tight End): Both of these players feasting off of each other's targets should make for a messy distribution in the end. For a while I assumed Allen would win this battle but Fleener is the starter as of today. Both of these guys will be middling TE2's for a large portion of the season.
