Colts Trying to Win with Jumbo Receivers

NFL Offseason - The Indianapolis Colts had a very simple strategy for their passing game in 2021: trade for Carson Wentz and surround him with the biggest targets they could find. Unfortunately, Wentz melted down in a Week 18 loss to Jacksonville and the Colts fell out of the postseason. So they made another switch at quarterback, shipping Wentz out and bringing Matt Ryan in. They did not change their plans at receiver, however. If anything, they're getting even bigger.

It's time to look back at snap-weighted size for 2021. We introduced snap-weighted size last year, measuring each team's height, weight, and body mass index, accounting not just for which players were on the roster, but how often each of those players were actually on the field.
