None of the three tight ends of the Colts put up big numbers individually but a closer look as the numbers provides insight as to how much they mean to the Colts’ offense. Last year the Colts’ main three TEs caught 85 passes between them for 946 yards (11.1 avg) with 6 TD grabs. Dallas Clark missed some time to injury during the regular season but he was a force in the Colts’ Super Bowl run and win. Clark played in 12 games (all starts) last season and he caught 30 passes for 367 yards (12.2 avg) with 4 TD grabs. Look for his numbers to improve this season as long as he stays healthy. He has now played in 52 games in his career (49 starts) and he has caught 121 passes for 1,618 yards (13.4 avg) with 14 TD grabs.

Ben Utecht came out of nowhere last season and was productive for the Colts. He played in 15 games (all starts) last season for the Colts and he caught 37 passes for 377 yards (10.2 avg). Look for Utecht to have another decent season in 2007.  He has now played in 27 games (17 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 40 passes for 436 yards (10.9 avg) with 2 TD grabs.

Bryan Fletcher also played decent for the Colts and he made some huge catches in the playoffs. He played in 15 games (3 starts) last season for the Colts and he caught 18 passes for 202 yards (11.2 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Look for him to post similar numbers as he did last season because he’s #3 on the depth chart. Fletcher has now played in 31 games (15 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 36 passes for 404 yards (11.2 avg) with 5 TD grabs.
