2025 Fantasy Outlook
Blackmon joins the Colts via a trade with the Vikings after missing the entirety of the 2024 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL. The cornerback was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, compiling 41 total tackles (34 solo), eight passes defensed, including an interception, and a fumble recovery over 15 regular-season contests in his rookie campaign. Blackmon will now step into a prominent reserve role in the Colts' secondary behind starters Charvarius Ward and Jaylon Jones in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.3 million contract with the Vikings in May of 2023. Traded from the Vikings to the Colts in August of 2025.

October 21, 2025
Blackmon logged six tackles (five solo) during the Colts' win over the Chargers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Blackmon finished tied for third on the team in tackles while playing every defensive snap in Sunday's victory. The 26-year-old continues to have a strong season, as he's now racked up at least five tackles in six straight outings and is just six tackles shy of his career-high 41 (34 solo) set back in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Blackmon (shoulder) recorded 41 total tackles and eight passes defended, including one interception, in 15 games last season. The 2023 third-round pick out of USC was forced to miss the Vikings' final two games due to a shoulder issue, but he was productive when he saw the field. Blackmon started only three games, playing primarily as a rotational cornerback, but he still finished third on the team in passes defended. The 24-year-old could very well be in line for a larger role in 2024.
Blackmon was selected by the Vikings in the third-round of the 2023 draft. The 5-foot-11, 178 pound cornerback logged a 4.47 40-yard-dash at the combine and will look to put that speed to use as a depth option in the secondary.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for starting role
CBMinnesota Vikings
June 19, 2024
Blackmon worked with the starters throughout OTAs and minicamp, and has looked like the team's third-best cornerback behind Shaquill Griffin and Byron Murphy, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Murphy is most effective in the slot, so Blackmon could be playing his way into a starting role on the outside, or at least as a prominent player in nickel packages. Blackmon recorded eight passes defensed as a rookie in 2023 before missing the final two games of the season due to a shoulder injury.
