2024 Fantasy Outlook
Speed took over as the Colts' starting weakside linebacker after the team waived Shaquille Leonard in midseason and the former backup established himself as a starter heading into 2024. Speed recorded 102 tackles (78 solo) including a sack and three forced fumbles. It was a career-best year for him in essentially every category. He'll return as the starting weak-side linebacker.

Knee
December 20, 2024
Speed (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Speed will miss his second game of the season as the Colts take on the Titans at home. The sixth-year linebacker missed Week 7 against the Dolphins with a knee problem, and this very likely could be related to that injury. His next chance to see the field will be Week 17 versus the Giants.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Speed played in all 17 games for the Colts during the 2022 season and started five of them. He is expected to enter the 2023 campaign as the team's starting weakside linebacker.
Speed improved in his third season and could be set for a larger role as a key reserve linebacker, especially if Darius Leonard is sidelined after offseason back surgery.
The 2019 fifth-round draft pick will compete for the starting strong-side linebacker role, but more likely will be a valuable reserve at all three linebacker spots.
