2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brents, a second-round 2023 draft pick, moved into a starting role last year and improved in coverage but missed much of the season with injuries. Brents dealt with a pre-draft wrist issue that caused him to miss the firs two regular season games. He then suffered a mid-season quad injury that forced him to miss six games, and a hamstring issue that forced him out of Indianapolis' season finale. He ended up recording 43 tackles (30 solo), six passes defended with one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games. He enters camp as a likely starter at conerback. Read Past Outlooks
Lands on IR with knee injury
Brents was placed on the Colts' injured reserve Tuesday due to a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Brents will undergo a procedure for the knee injury he sustained during Sunday's 29-27 loss to Houston. Whether the 2023 second-round pick will return this season will not be known until after the surgery, though Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports that Brents is not dealing with an ACL injury, and the 24-year-old corner could return in mid-December. With Brents sidelined, Kenny Moore could step into the starting corner role opposite Jaylon Jones. Moore played all 79 defensive snaps for the Colts on Sunday and finished with five tackles (four solo).

Mike Evans has to slow down eventually, but probably not against Washington's undersized boundary corners.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Brents, selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, is a huge corner (6-3, 202 pounds) out of Kansas State with an outstanding wingspan, and he's additionally notable for the rare athleticism he boasts on that frame. While Brents' 4.53-second 40 is slightly below average, his 41.5-inch vertical and 138-inch broad jump are numbers you don't often see. Brents should project particularly well in a Cover-3 type of scheme, but tools like his might prove starter-worthy in any scheme. He'll compete for a key role in the Colts' secondary this summer.
