2. Indianapolis Colts
The additions of Frank Gore and Andre Johnson are going to be huge here. If both prove they still have something left in the tank, this offense could be historically good in 2015.
Consider this: Luck accounted for 80 percent of the Colts offensive yards and 88 percent of their total touchdowns last season. If Gore can put up even an average (by his standards) season, those numbers are going to decrease dramatically. Now take into account the future Hall of Fame running back playing against defenses that won’t be stacking the box, and it wouldn’t be too much of a surprise to see Gore put up some huge numbers.
Insight here: Defenses loaded boxes more for Frank Gore than any other RB last season (30%), his final with #49ers https://t.co/kgLmal4La9

As it relates to Johnson, everything is there for him to put up 100-plus receptions and double-digit scores. This is a receiver that tallied 85 receptions with the likes of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Mallett tossing him the rock last season. Imagine what he can do with Luck under center.
These two veterans join an offense that already includes a breakout performer at nearly every position. Outside of Luck’s ridiculous 40 touchdown 2014 campaign, there are others who took that next step. Fourth-year wide receiver T.Y. Hilton put up over 1,300 yards and seven scores. Meanwhile, tight end Coby Fleener tallied 774 yards and eight scores. Heck, Donte Moncrief put up 32 receptions in limited action as a rookie. If Dwayne Allen can ever up his game, the possibilities are endless here.
With an improved offensive line and major talent at every skill position, the Colts offense is primed to be even better than a near record-breaking 2014 season.
