All Stampede Blue insights about Laquon Treadwell
PositiveProjectionOct 21, 2026
Laquon Treadwell had the deepest targets but was significantly below average value in Week 6. On a seasonal basis, Laquon Treadwell is also noted as underperforming relative to his target depth.PositiveUsageOct 13, 2026
Laquon Treadwell was targeted eight times in Week 5 but managed just two receptions, a significant miss rate. Treadwell finished below average in EPA per target despite being targeted well beyond the league's average depth. On the season, Treadwell is the fourth-leading receiver contributor, with his production coming primarily on deeper completions, but Week 5 showed he's struggling to convert deep opportunities into catches.PositiveUsageOct 6, 2026
Laquon Treadwell led Indianapolis with 42 receiving yards in Week 4, though the source notes this with sarcasm ('if you can call that leading'), reflecting the overall ineffectiveness of the Colts' passing game. Season-wise, Treadwell ranks second on the team in receiving yards behind Downs, with his yardage coming more from deeper completions rather than yards after the catch, but the broader context shows most of Jones' receivers produced below-average value per target in Week 4, clustering in what the source calls 'the worst quadrant' of short throws with poor efficiency.NegativeUsageOct 4, 2026
Veteran wideout Laquon Treadwell led the Colts in receiving with 5 receptions for 42 total receiving yards in the game against Washington.PositiveUsageOct 2, 2026
Treadwell was targeted on the Colts' game-winning drive; the source highlights a late throw to Treadwell on the Dagger play-call to set up the game-winning kick, noting Dagger is the source's favorite play-call in all of football.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
Colts veteran wideout caught a critical 20-yard completion from Daniel Jones in the game-winning drive; also had a holding penalty that negated a Jonathan Taylor run earlier in the game.PositiveRoleSep 28, 2026
Treadwell delivered the biggest play of the game and arguably the biggest play of the Colts' season on his first target of the afternoon, a 20-yard dig route on a Dagger concept that moved Indianapolis safely into Texans territory and set up the game-winning field goal. The source emphasizes that Treadwell's role on this critical drive was essential: he ran the dig at around 15 yards against Cover 3, broke inside and settled in the middle of the coverage structure created by Josh Downs' clear-out go route occupying the deep safety. Treadwell's pace as a receiver required Daniel Jones to adjust his footwork and give the route time to develop; the source notes that a faster receiver like Alec Pierce would have different timing on the same concept. The catch put the Colts in position to snap a nine-game losing streak and moved them from 0-3 to 1-2, a 22.5 percentage-point swing in historical playoff probability.PositiveRoleSep 27, 2026
Stepped up as a reliable target while Alec Pierce is placed on injured reserve; caught a 20-yard pass from Daniel Jones in the final drive to march the Colts into striking distance; worked in sync with Jones during two-minute drill sessions throughout training camp.PositiveUsageSep 24, 2026
Treadwell was the target of Daniel Jones' most impressive play in Week 2—a big post route in overtime that completely flipped the field. Jones delivered a great ball that didn't give the DB a chance to make a play on it. However, Daniel Jones questions whether Treadwell could win a matchup on the outside in late-game situations with difficult down and distance (4th & 8), suggesting his role is more situational.PositiveUsageSep 23, 2026
Laquon Treadwell was the beneficiary of Daniel Jones' most valuable play of the game in Week 2—a 48-yard overtime completion that generated significant EPA value. This deep completion represented Jones' deepest attempt of the game and was a key bright spot in an otherwise conservative passing approach, demonstrating Treadwell's ability to create explosive plays when targeted downfield.PositiveInjurySep 23, 2026
Wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is listed on the injury report with a shoulder injury but was a full participant in practice, indicating no significant impact on his availability.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Treadwell caught a pass near the Chiefs' 17-yard line in overtime that was ruled down by contact after a punch-out attempt by the defender, giving the Colts possession in a critical scoring position. The source notes the ruling was controversial, stating 'The argument could easily be made that Laquon Treadwell fumbled that ball. The ruling was a fumble and clear and obvious evidence didn't seem to be present.' Despite receiving this opportunity at the goal line, the Colts' subsequent conservative play-calling (two runs in the wrong direction and a quarterback scramble) failed to capitalize on the gift, ultimately leading to a fourth-and-eight incompletion and a 0-2 start.NegativeRoleSep 21, 2026
The well-traveled veteran wideout made the Colts' 53-man roster as a comeback story after being labeled a former first-round bust. He finished with 3 catches for 61 yards, but his 48-yard deep reception was controversial: he bobbled the catch and nearly fumbled, which cost the Colts yards and momentum. The near-fumble (initially ruled a fumble before replay review overturned it) allowed the Chiefs defense to reset after the review, preventing Indianapolis from maintaining offensive momentum and forcing them out of no-huddle. The source suggests that if Ashton Dulin were healthy, he might have been called upon instead of Treadwell.PositiveUsageSep 21, 2026
Treadwell made the biggest offensive play of the Colts' overtime possession, a 48-yard catch that moved the ball from Indianapolis' own 35 to the Kansas City 17 and set up the critical fourth-and-8 decision. The catch was significant enough that Daniel Jones defends Steichen's subsequent play-calling decisions based on the field position Treadwell's play created.PositiveUsageSep 21, 2026
Treadwell made a critical deep catch on the Colts' first offensive play of overtime that tied the game at 30-30. The play was initially ruled a fumble because Treadwell rose up from the turf and tried to gain more yards before getting the football punched out by Nohl Williams, but replay review changed the call to Treadwell being down by contact, allowing the Colts to settle for a chip shot field goal with three minutes left to play.NegativeUsageSep 21, 2026
Colts wideout connected on a 48-yard reception from Daniel Jones to begin the Colts' first offensive drive in overtime near the Kansas City 17-yard line. The ball was punched out after he got up, but he was ruled down by contact after slow-motion replay review—a close call that avoided disaster for Indianapolis.NegativeDepth ChartAug 30, 2026
Laquon Treadwell made the Colts' 53-man roster as part of the wide receiver group, which based on preseason playing time allocation appeared well set.NegativeRoleAug 29, 2026
Laquon Treadwell may be a lock in the Colts wide receiver room alongside Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, Keenan Allen, and Ashton Dulin, though the source indicates less certainty about his roster status compared to the other four receivers.NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
Veteran Laquon Treadwell's continued future with the Colts could be in question after the signing of fellow veteran Keenan Allen; his job security may depend on special teams versatility and whether the Colts prefer to keep rookie 7th-round pick Deion Burks.PositiveUsageAug 16, 2026
Laquon Treadwell caught a 10-yard touchdown in tight coverage during red zone drills, adjusting to a pass thrown near his hip; he is one of three receivers vying for the open WR3 spot alongside Nick Westbrook-Ikhene and Ashton Dulin.PositiveUsageAug 4, 2026
WR connected on 50-yard deep completion on perfectly placed deep post from Jones, dropping pass over free safety Camryn Bynum; set tone for biggest offensive showing from first-team offense in camp; featured as deep threat in vertical attack.NegativeDepth ChartAug 4, 2026
Positioned in WR2-4 tier on Colts depth chart alongside Dulin and Westbrook-Ikhine; part of uncertain WR rotation where Colts are gambling on depth at premium position.NegativeUsageJul 30, 2026
Veteran receiver targeted twice by QB Daniel Jones on dig routes during team periods.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
Occupied an outside receiver spot in the revamped offense with Alec Pierce unavailable. Despite 10 NFL seasons combined with Ashton Dulin, the veteran duo enters camp looking to expand their roles with just 10 career touchdowns between them. Connected with Jones on a dig route during 7-on-7 work.
