I. Player News & Analysis

ESPN	RotoWire	Trends
"Leonard was selected by the Colts in the sixth round of April's draft. His passing needs work (7.1 YPA last season is second worst in this class and he completed 64% of his career passes despite a low 7.3 aDOT), but he's a big-time rusher (164-1,011-17 last season, including a class-high 10.6% scramble rate). Leonard is a long shot for fantasy production, but he could play as a rookie if Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones don't work out."	"Despite the turnovers, it was a surprisingly productive performance from the sixth-round rookie in his first career NFL start against an elite Houston defense that still had something to play for when the game began. Both of Leonard's passing TDs went to Alec Pierce, and the QB's one-yard rushing score in the third quarter briefly gave Indy a 24-23 lead. The Colts' quarterback situation heading into 2026 remains murky with Daniel Jones (Achilles) a free agent and Anthony Richardson (eye) barely playing this season and getting little chance to further his development, but Leonard is unlikely to find himself at the top of the depth chart in Week 1."
