Colts Could Be Respectable

The Colts will be fun to watch with Anthony Richardson at quarterback. They also will be better than you think.
Back in business: The Colts coaching situation was so bad it made Nathaniel Hackett look serviceable. Adding Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen at head coach, offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley should right the ship.
Robo QB: The Colts will find success sooner than later. Anthony Richardson’s ability to maneuver in the pocket, escape pressure, and pick up first downs with his feet will be valuable (see Justin Fields 2022). The future is bright.
Offensive Rookie of the Year

Bijan Robinson +275

Go time: The Colts face the fourth-easiest schedule and should find a path back to respectability in 2023.

Carolina Panthers Heating Up

The Panthers finished last season with seven wins and now employ a better quarterback and coach than they had last year.
Easy does it: They face a top-five easiest schedule in the league and a top-five easiest schedule of opposing pass defenses, which should make life easier for rookie quarterback Bryce Young. Although rookie quarterbacks tend to struggle early on, the bar is set very low for Young.
Ready to roll: Carolina’s top-10 run game should pick up where it left off, with Miles Sanders replacing D’Onta Foreman. All of last year’s starting offensive line is projected to start again this year, and there are no significant downgrades to a defensive unit that was league-average last year.

The Atlanta Falcons showed tremendous improvement last year, finishing with seven wins. Perhaps even more importantly, Atlanta found an offensive identity.
Offensive weapons: In a ‘zig while everyone else zags’ approach, the Falcons did most of their damage on the ground behind PFF’s top-rated offensive line. Quarterback Desmond Ridder enters the season as Atlanta’s de facto starter, alongside newly drafted running back Bijan Robinson, whom many draftniks had as a top three player in this year’s class.
Vision quest: A defense that was one of the worst in the league has been aided by free-agent signings of established NFL starters Calais Campbell, Bud Dupree, and Jessie Bates. The Falcons’ front office and coaching staff have a clear vision, and the positive vibes in Atlanta are palpable. Add in the second-easiest schedule in the NFL, and the Falcons could make a run for a wild card.
