As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our quick-hitting Team Vibes and Players to Target and Avoid, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't give you a good return on that investment).

Colts, Team Vibes

• Good - 4
• Neutral - 10
• Bad - 0

Staffers with Good Vibes

• Jason Wood: After last year's disaster, they've added an exciting offensive-minded head coach and found their new franchise quarterback.
• Phil Alexander: Unless you're shopping for wide receiver fantasy production.
• Ryan Weisse: After the step back they took in 2022, any semblance of their 2021 running game will be a site for sore eyes.
• Sam Wagman: Shane Steichen could be a godsend for this Colts team in need of direction.

Staffers with Neutral Vibes

• Ben Cummins: Anthony Richardson is going to be so fun as a rookie.
• Dave Kluge: The Colts liked Anthony Richardson enough to pay up in the Draft, but I worry about his ability to support a fantasy-relevant passing offense as a rookie.
• Jeff Tefertiller: Anthony Richardson is going to have his ups and downs, like every rookie.
• Daniel Harms: A new head coach and lots of talent but lots of questions as well.
• Jeff Haseley: The needle is pointing up for this team; however, they will only be as good as Anthony Richardson takes them in his rookie season. I am not overly optimistic.
• Jeff Bell: After years of rotating veteran stop-gap quarterbacks, the team has a potential long-term answer at the position to generate excitment.
• Chad Parsons: Expect Anthony Richardson to make the run game hum. The passing game? That's another story.
• Andy Hicks: Are we seriously expecting Anthony Richardson to start immediately and be a star? It takes time.
• Craig Lakins: There's reason for cautious optimism under new coach Shane Steichen and polarizing new quarterback Anthony Richardson.
• Hutchinson Brown: There are not many I’d want to work with Richardson more than Shane Steichen. But Richardson could be great himself for fantasy and ruin a lot of other pieces in the Colts offense.

Staffers with Bad Vibes

• None.
