29. Indianapolis Colts (30)

Leading up to the preseason, the biggest question surrounding the Indianapolis Colts was whether Andrew Luck would be healthy enough to return to his normal ways after missing all of last year with a shoulder injury. With all due respect to Jacoby Brissett, the Colts backup quarterback doesn’t even compare to the level of impact as Luck, as the former No. 1 pick has been moving in the right direction over the last few weeks.

Just look at what Luck was able to accomplish when facing the San Francisco 49ers after he completed 8 of 10 passes for 90 yards with a touchdown along with 27 rushing yards. What was even more exciting to see, as bad as it sounds, was Luck showing he was able to take a hit, and bounce back up right away, meaning he will be ready to go come Week 1.

Until then, Indianapolis is one of those teams that will need to work their way up on a list like this since it’s always easier to prove all is well during the preseason when the games in September will matter the most. And if Luck manages to stay healthy, it will be interesting to see how the race in the AFC South turns out to be.
