8. Indianapolis AlleyCats
Projected starting O-line: Cameron Brock, Travis Carpenter, Lucas Coniaris, Rick Gross, Levi Jacobs, Jake Kenniv/Keegan North, Xavier Payne
It’s far from the flashiest offense you’ve seen, but this Indianapolis AlleyCats O-line was one of the steadiest in the league last year, finishing as the fifth-most efficient. Indy took a DC Breeze-esque approach to offense; they averaged the second-most completions per game (DC was first) with the fourth fewest huck completions (DC averaged the second fewest). They will be without Jeremy Keusch this year, but this should remain a productive group with plenty of throwers and good decision-makers downfield. Jake Kenniv, who will be joined by former Detroit teammate Jack Havey in Indianapolis this year, looks like a great candidate to take on Keusch’s vacated production as Cameron Brock’s counterpart downfield, though I could see either of those guys slotting in on offense and having an Andrew Sjogren-like impact for their new team. Xavier Payne and Travis Carpenter remain excellent primary throwers and should have the offense running smoothly yet again in 2024.
