Contract Value Index (CVI)

Anthony Gould's value math nets a D+ Contract Value Index — placing the deal in a clear band relative to the league median at WR. The grade reflects a harsh disconnect between his modest $1.1M AAV rookie scale contract and his near-complete failure to produce at the NFL level; a fifth-round pick from 2024, Gould has accumulated just six receiving yards across 11 games in the 2025 season, extending a troubling two-year trend of minimal on-field contribution. At 25 years old and entering his third professional season, he remains locked into a four-year rookie deal that offers the Colts maximum flexibility — the low salary floor means Indianapolis carries virtually no dead cap risk if they choose to move on — but that same structure also signals the organization views him as roster filler rather than a prospect worth developing. His D-grade performance and D-grade sentiment align perfectly: Gould has not demonstrated the productivity required to establish himself as a reliable contributor at a premium position, and the absence of meaningful organizational investment or media attention reflects his standing as a fringe depth piece. Without immediate and sustained production in 2026, his CVI will remain anchored to replacement-level value, and his tenure with Indianapolis — or any franchise — remains precarious. The Colts' recent focus on defensive and offensive line signings (Kreutz, Farmer, Boettcher, McMillan) suggests no urgent allocation of resources toward elevating receiver depth, leaving Gould to fend for himself in a numbers game he has lost so far.

Performance Analysis

Anthony Gould earns a D- for the Colts at wide receiver, a rookie who has not yet found his footing in Indianapolis's offense. Gould was brought in for his speed and return ability, but neither skill has translated to impactful NFL production. He has been a non-factor in the passing game and has not broken through as a return specialist either. The Colts have a crowded receiver room, and Gould is behind more established options for targets. His speed is legitimate, but raw athleticism alone does not get you on the field in this league — he needs to refine his game quickly.

How Anthony Compares at the Position

Anthony Gould ranks 269th of 295 graded wide receivers by performance. That slots Anthony between Britain Covey (D-) just ahead and Xavier Weaver (D-) just behind.

Current Sentiment

Anthony Gould's D-grade sentiment reflects the harsh reality facing a depth wide receiver who has failed to gain meaningful traction in his first two NFL seasons. With just three career receptions for 29 yards, the Indianapolis Colts wideout has struggled to translate any college promise into professional production, leaving him firmly entrenched as a fringe roster player rather than a developmental asset. His modest $1.1M contract signals the organization's tepid commitment to his future, essentially treating him as roster filler rather than investing in legitimate upside. The complete absence of meaningful media coverage or beat reporting around Gould speaks volumes about his standing within the franchise — he's operating in the shadows while more established receivers command attention and opportunities. Entering 2026, Gould faces the uncomfortable truth that he needs to produce immediately or risk being replaced by younger, cheaper alternatives who might offer similar or better potential. The sentiment surrounding his situation is understandably pessimistic, as he represents the type of replacement-level talent that gets churned through NFL rosters without making a lasting impact.
