Fantasy News
Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Week 11 inactives: QB Jim Sorgi (3rd), CB Kelvin Hayden, PK Adam Vinatieri, WR Anthony Gonzalez, RB Mike Hart, S Aaron Francisco, TE Gijon Robinson, and G Mike Pollak.
Impact: DE Dwight Freeney (hip) and Antoine Bethea (foot) are active and will start. On offense, WR Pierre Garcon (ankle) is active and will start. Eric Foster - #68 - Defensive Tackle - 6'2" - 265lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Foster (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Impact: Foster is out there, but with just 17 tackles and half a sack through nine games, he's a marginal IDP option. Gijon Robinson - #47 - Tight End - 6'1" - 255lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Robinson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Impact: Robinson's role in the offense has been limited, so this news impacts the Colts' TE depth more than it does fantasy lineups. Jim Sorgi - #12 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 196lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sorgi (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Impact: As a result, Curtis Painter will serve as Peyton Manning's backup once again this week. Antoine Bethea - #41 - Safety - 5'11" - 203lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bethea (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Impact: It looks safe to roll with the productive Bethea this week if he is one of your IDPs. Hank Baskett - #81 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 220lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Baskett (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Impact: At this point however, Baskett is a depth wideout for the Colts. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Baltimore.
Impact: While Garcon hasn't hit triple digits in receiving yards yet, he has been involved of late, averaging four catches and 54 yards over the past three weeks, while recording three TDs in nine games overall. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Impact: Feel free to roll with Freeney, who has recorded a sack in all of the Colts' games except last week's win over the Patriots. Adam Vinatieri - #4 - Kicker - 6'0" - 202lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Adam Vinatieri has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Baltimore, according to the Colts' official website.
Impact: Vinatieri will be missing his fifth straight game while still recovering from his knee ailment. Matt Stover will remain the Colts' placekicker, and will be facing his former team. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Pierre Garcon fully practiced for the second straight day Friday, but is questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, according to the Colts' official website. He is dealing with an ankle injury.
Impact: Austin Collie would likely see extra targets in the passing game if Garcon does not get the green light to play. Fully practicing is a good sign that he will be OK though. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Dwight Freeney fully practiced Friday, but is questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore, according to the Colts' official website.
Impact: Freeney is nursing a hip ailment, but he expects to play. He leads the Colts with 9.5 sacks over nine games, and will aim to add to his total with second-year quarterback Joe Flacco in his crosshairs. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Austin Collie fully practiced Friday after sitting out yesterday, according to the Colts' official website.
Impact: Collie has been nursing a neck ailment, but is expected to play Sunday at Baltimore. He should continue to play a key role in the Colts' aerial attack with Anthony Gonzalez (knee) not ready to return. Antoine Bethea - #41 - Safety - 5'11" - 203lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Antoine Bethea was limited in Friday's practice after sitting out the previous two days, according to the Colts' official website. He is dealing with a foot injury.
Impact: Bethea is questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore. The Colts have had bad luck with injuries through their secondary this season. Eric Foster - #68 - Defensive Tackle - 6'2" - 265lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Foster (back) practiced fully Friday, but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: We expect he'll be okay after practicing Friday, but with just 17 tackles and half a sack through nine games, he's a fantasy outlier. Gijon Robinson - #47 - Tight End - 6'1" - 255lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Robinson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: Robinson missed practice all week, so he's pretty iffy, but with just six catches to date, he has yet to make a fantasy impact this season. Jim Sorgi - #12 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 196lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sorgi (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: Sorgi didn't practice all week, so it looks like Curtis Painter will serve as the backup to Peyton Manning again this week. Hank Baskett - #81 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 220lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Baskett (illness) practiced fully again Friday, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: In seven games for the Colts, Baskett has caught just one pass, so this news only really affects the Colts depth at wideout and special teams. Antoine Bethea - #41 - Safety - 5'11" - 203lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bethea (foot, questionable) was limited at Friday's practice, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: Bethea says he will play Sunday, but check back prior to kickoff to be sure. He's been racking up IDP numbers -- 64 tackles, two forced fumbles and three picks -- through nine games thus far. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens despite having practiced fully Friday, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: We expect Freeney to be good to go Sunday, but check back prior to kickoff to be sure if he is one of your IDPs. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (hip) practiced fully Friday, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: He missed Thursday's practice with a hip injury, but it doesn't look like a worry against Baltimore. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Friday, but is listed as questionable against Baltimore.
Impact: He missed Wednesday's practice, but fully participated on Thursday and Friday. He should play despite the questionable tag as the Colts rarely use the probable tag. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Anthony Gonzalez (knee) is not expected to return until Week 13 at the earliest, according to the Indianapolis Star.
Impact: In other words, too late to help your football team. If you had been stashing him in some far-flung hope he would be able to save your receiving corps in the final month of the season, now is the time to drop him. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gonzalez (knee) says he's making progress and could return after a couple of games, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: After spraining a PCL ligament in his right knee in Week 1, Gonzalez had a setback and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Nov. 6. It sounds like Gonzalez believes he can return this season, but fantasy owners shouldn't count on him playing again. It's not clear what role he'd have if he returned with the development of Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Colts' wide receiver Pierre Garcon returned to full practice on Thursday, according to the team's official website. Garcon suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Patriots.
Impact: It looks like Garcon should be fine this week, as he practiced in full today. He returned to the game Sunday after exiting with the injury, so he is safe unless he aggravates this injury this week. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (hip) missed Thursday's practice, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: Freeney has missed practice several times this season during the week only to play in games, so we wouldn't be too worried. Check to see if he practices on Friday. Antoine Bethea - #41 - Safety - 5'11" - 203lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bethea (foot) missed Thursday's practice, the team's official web site reports. Bethea was seen walking in the locker room on Wednesday, which the Indianapolis Star says players too injured to play in games normally don't do.
Impact: Check to see if practices on Friday as the Colts could be playing it safe with a minor injury. Hank Baskett - #81 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 220lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Baskett (illness) fully participated in Thursday's practice.
Impact: He missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, but it doesn't look like a worry for this week's game at Baltimore. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: He missed Wednesday's practice with the ailment, but it looks minor since it wasn't a factor in last week's game. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (back) wasn't listed on Indianapolis' injury report on Wednesday.
Impact: It looks like he fully participated in practice. Colts team president Bill Polian said he missed playing time in the second half of Sunday's game due to a sore back, but it doesn't look like an issue for this week's game against Baltimore. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai (finger) fully participated in practice on Wednesday, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: He left Sunday's win over New England in the first quarter due to the injury but later returned. It doesn't look like an issue for this week's game against Baltimore. Jim Sorgi - #12 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 196lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sorgi (shoulder) missed practice on Wednesday.
Impact: He was inactive last week, so Curtis Painter may serve as the backup to Peyton Manning again this week. Gijon Robinson - #47 - Tight End - 6'1" - 255lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Robinson missed Wednesday's practice due to a concussion, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: Despite Indy's success with the passing game this season, Robinson hasn't been much of a factor. The Colts may hold him out this week since they're usually very careful with concussions. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gonzalez (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Nov. 6 and was expected to miss an additional two to three weeks, but there's been no sign of his return. With the Colts likely clinching a playoff spot early, there's no reason to rush him back ... and it's still possible he may not return at all this season. Eric Foster - #68 - Defensive Tackle - 6'2" - 265lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Foster (back) missed Wednesday's practice.
Impact: He played last week against New England, so we can only assume this injury is minor at this point. Antoine Bethea - #41 - Safety - 5'11" - 203lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bethea (foot) missed Wednesday's practice, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: This injury wasn't noted after Sunday's win over the Patriots, so we can only assume it's minor. The last thing the Colts need is another serious injury in the secondary. Hank Baskett - #81 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 220lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Baskett missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness.
Impact: He was able to play in Sunday's win over the Patriots, so he'll probably be ready to play with a few days off. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon missed practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: This injury wasn't noted after Sunday's game, so we can only assume it's minor at this point. Ed Johnson - #92 - Defensive Tackle - 6'2" - 296lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Ed Johnson auditioned for the Bengals today, according to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post.
Impact: Johnson had weight issues earlier in the year, which led to his release by the Colts. He also has a history of off-the-field problems, but the Bengals are known for giving troubled players another chance. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown's playing time was limited in the second half of Sunday's win over New England due to a sore back, Colts team president Bill Polian told the team's official web site
Impact: Polian described the injury as minor as the team decided to give Chad Simpson more carries as a precaution. Still, watch Brown's status in practice this week. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Wayne had 10 catches for 126 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner as the Colts beat New England 35-34 on Sunday night.
Impact: Wayne's monster effort at the end of the day likely swung a lot of fantasy matchups. There's no question Peyton Manning's top option is among the best - if not the best - fantasy options in the game right now at wide receiver. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Brown returned from a shoulder injury Sunday night against New England but had just four carries for 14 yards in the Colts' 35-34 win.
Impact: It seems like the Colts were easing him back into action, and Brown should remain on your bench until it becomes more clear how Indianapolis intends to use the rookie. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Addai had 41 rushing yards, 27 receiving yards and a touchdown each way as the Colts beat New England 35-34 on Sunday night.
Impact: Addai likely would have racked up more yards had he not missed part of the game due to a hand injury, but his value throughout most of the season has been through touchdowns, as he's tied for fourth in the NFL with nine. Donald Brown has returned from injury, however, leaving it unclear how carries will be split going forward. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Manning threw for 327 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in the Colts' 35-34 win over New England on Sunday.
Impact: Manning has been an absolute 300-yard machine this season, surpassing that mark in eight of the nine games during the Colts' unbeaten start. He also leads the NFL with 20 touchdown passes and is likely the frontrunner for a fourth MVP award at this point. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney ended an eight-game streak with a sack in Sunday's win over New England. He didn't have a sack or tackle.
Impact: The Pats kept Freeney in check, but at the expense of Robert Mathis having two sacks. Robert Mathis - #98 - Defensive End - 6'2" - 245lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Mathis had two sacks and eight tackles in Sunday's win over New England.
Impact: The Patriots kept Dwight Freeney quiet at the expense of Mathis. He now has 8.5 sackes in nine games. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Collie had six receptions for 45 yards in Sunday's win over New England.
Impact: He had an early drop but drew a key pass interference call late in the game. With Pierre Garcon dropping several passes, Collie should continue to get the third most targets after Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne. A head neck injury that knocked him out of last week's game didn't look like a factor. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon had three receptions for 40 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown catch, in Sunday's win over New England.
Impact: Garcon also had several key drops earlier in the game. His speed makes him an explosive player and he's a threat to score long touchdowns, but his frequent drops make him a candidate to lose playing time to Austin Collie or Anthony Gonzalez (if he ever returns from a knee injury). Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) had four carries for 14 yards and one reception for eight yards in Sunday's win over New England.
Impact: At one point it looked like Brown may have had a larger role when Joseph Addai left briefly with a hand injury, but Addai returned in the second half and got the bulk of carries. We'd expect Brown to return to his usual workload of getting about 40 percent of the touches, as he may have been eased into game after two games with the shoulder injury. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning was 28-of-44 for 327 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's win over New England.
Impact: Manning threw two second half interceptions in a rare stretch of bad decisions, but rallied the Colts to score twice in the final three minutes to win the game. He'll face another tough game next week against Baltimore, but Manning looks set to have a historic season as he's on pace to break Dan Marino's 1984 record of 5,084 passing yards in a season. Gary Brackett - #58 - Linebacker - 5'11" - 235lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Gary Brackett led the Colts' defense in Sunday night's 35-34 win over the Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium, as he racked up a game-high 11 tackles (eight solo).
Impact: The star middle linebacker reached double digits in tackles for the first time since Week 1, when he collected 10 against Jacksonville. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Reggie Wayne took care of business in tonight's 35-34 win over the Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium, as he caught 10 passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns.
Impact: Wayne has reached paydirt in seven of nine games, and has eight total touchdowns. The elite receiver also topped 100 receiving yards for the fourth time. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Joseph Addai had 10 carries for 41 rushing yards and a touchdown in tonight's 35-34 win over the Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium. He also caught two passes for 27 receiving yards and another touchdown.
Impact: Addai was able to return from his finger injury sustained earlier in the battle, and fantasy owners should be satisfied with 68 total yards and two touchdowns. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Peyton Manning completed 28-of-44 passes for 327 yards in tonight's exciting 35-34 win over the Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium. He fired four touchdown passes with two interceptions.
Impact: Manning made some errors tonight, but was forgiven after leading the Colts to their ninth win. He topped 300 yards for the eighth time, and now has 20 touchdown passes for the season. Dallas Clark - #44 - Tight End - 6'3" - 252lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Clark had four receptions for 65 yards in Sunday's win over New England.
Impact: The Patriots made a concerted effort to keep the ball out of Clark's hands, so hopefully this won't be a template for future opponents. That 65 yards is a disappointing game speaks to how strong a year Clark is having. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne had 10 receptions for 126 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over New England. He caught the game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds left.
Impact: Wayne had arguably his best game of the season in a high-profile rivalry game. With Peyton Manning and the passing game in top form, he could easily finish the season as the most productive fantasy receiver. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai had 10 carries for 41 yards, including a four-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over New England. He also added two receptions for 27 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown. He left in the first quarter due to a finger injury but returned in the second half.
Impact: Addai had his ring and middle fingers taped together before returning. We'll have to see if his finger injury has any long-term effect, but he looked fine playing with the ailment in the second half. Melvin Bullitt - #33 - Safety - 6'1" - 201lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Melvin Bullitt was injured in the third quarter of tonight's game against New England.
Impact: The safety is being checked out on the sideline, and his status is yet to be updated. The Colts' trainers have been very busy tonight. Chad Simpson - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 216lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Chad Simpson suffered a head injury during tonight's game against New England, according to the Boston Globe on twitter.
Impact: Simpson is questionable to return. The club is thin at running back, with starter Joseph Addai (finger) also uncertain to return. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Pierre Garcon has returned to action against New England after exiting earlier in the second quarter.
Impact: Garcon had his foot checked out on the sideline, but was deemed fit to go back in. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Pierre Garcon exited tonight's game against New England in the second quarter.
Impact: He was shaken up, and his injury status is yet to be updated. Hank Baskett replaced him at receiver. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
STATS
News: Addai left Sunday night's game against New England with an injured finger on his right hand.
Impact: Addai, who scored the first touchdown of the game on a 15-yard reception from Peyton Manning, missed the next two series. The Colts said Addai's return was questionable. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Joseph Addai injured his finger on his touchdown scamper in the first quarter of tonight's game against the Patriots, according to the Associated Press.
Impact: His finger is wrapped on the sideline, and Donald Brown is currently working as the No. 1 back in his absence. Stay tuned for updates on Addai's status. Adam Vinatieri - #4 - Kicker - 6'0" - 202lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Colts inactives: Jim Sorgi (third QB), K Adam Vinatieri, WR Anthony Gonzalez, CB Kelvin Hayden, DB Aaron Francisco, T Tony Ugoh, G Mike Pollak, TE Tom Santi.
Impact: Matt Stover will remain the placekicker with Vinatieri not ready to return. Austin Collie is active and will continue to see more targets along with Pierre Garcon, with Anthony Gonzalez inactive. Cornerback Hayden will be missed in the secondary while dealing with elite field general Tom Brady and the Patriots. Chad Simpson - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 216lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simpson had his bell rung in the first half of Sunday's game against the Patriots, but was later able to return.
Impact: He had been getting some touches behind Donald Brown, with Joseph Addai sidelined for a spell with a hand/finger injury. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai was forced out of Sunday night's game in the first quarter with a hand or finger injury.
Impact: He resurfaced with two fingers taped together and was able to return in the third quarter after Donald Brown and Chad Simpson had been filling in for him. Jim Sorgi - #12 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 196lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sorgi (right shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots
Impact: As a result, Curtis Painter will serve as Peyton Manning's top backup Sunday. Adam Vinatieri - #4 - Kicker - 6'0" - 202lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Adam Vinatieri has been ruled out for Sunday's game against New England, according to the Colts' official website.
Impact: Vinatieri was not expected to return from his knee injury this week. Matt Stover will continue to serve as the Colts' placekicker. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Dwight Freeney fully practiced for the second straight day Friday, according to the Colts' official website.
Impact: Freeney is expected to play in Sunday night's showdown with New England at Lucas Oil Stadium. He already has 9.5 sacks this season, and will be counted on to pressure elite field general Tom Brady. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Anthony Gonzalez (knee) is out yet again in Week 10, according to the Boston Globe.
Impact: It's looking increasingly likely that he will not suit up for the rest of the 2009 season. He is not worth stashing. Jim Sorgi - #12 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 196lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sorgi (right shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: If Sorgi is unable to go this weekend, then Curtis Painter would be called upon to back up Peyton Manning. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai's teammate, Donald Brown, is not on the Colts' Week 10 injury report.
Impact: The Colts need all the weapons they can muster against the Patriots Sunday night, but the return of the capable Brown will cost Addai some touches after a couple of weeks of being the undisputed lead back for Indy. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) has practiced fully this week and is not listed on the Colts' Week 10 injury report.
Impact: Look for him to return to taking touches away from Joseph Addai, an equation which gives the Colts another valuable weapon against the Patriots this week, but one that also makes it hard to rely on either back to fully carry the load. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) practiced fully again Thursday, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: We'll see what Friday brings for Brown, but it's looking likely that Brown will be back Sunday against New England after missing two games with his shoulder injury. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
Fanball
News: The Indianapolis Star reports that Austin Collie (neck) practiced in full on Wednesday and is expected to play in Week 10.
Impact: Collie has been a productive No. 2 wide receiver for the Colts this season, but he draws a tough matchup against the Patriots this week. Consider him a flex-play in deeper fantasy leagues, and he should probably remain on benches in formats that carry just two wideouts. Fili Moala - #95 - Defensive Tackle - 6'4" - 303lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moala (concussion) does not appear on Wednesday's practice participation/injury report, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: It looks like Moala will rejoin the Colts' D-Line rotation this weekend against the Patriots. Jim Sorgi - #12 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 196lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sorgi (right shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: In Sorgi's absence, the Colts may be forced to turn to Peyton Manning Sunday night against the Patriots. But seriously, if he is unable to go this weekend, then Curtis Painter would be called upon to back up Manning. We're sorry that Sorgi's shoulder is hurting him, but we still think he has one of the greatest jobs of all time. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Collie, who left Week 9's win over San Francisco with a neck injury, does not appear on Wednesday's practice participation/injury report, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: Unless we hear otherwise, we'll assume that Collie, who downplayed the injury earlier in the week, is all systems go for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) does not appear on Wednesday's practice participation/injury report, the Colts' official site reports.
Impact: That would seem to be a good sign, but last week started the same way for Brown before he sat out practice Friday and was inactive Sunday after being listed as questionable. That's what we'll still call him for now. For his part, Colts President Bill Polian said Tuesday, "we expect that Donald (Brown) will be back in the not-to-distant future." Whether that means Sunday against the Patriots has yet to be determined, but Brown seems optimistic about his chances. Josh Thomas - #91 - Defensive End - 6'5" - 271lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thomas was released by the Colts, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: The Colts decided to sign cornerback Anthony Madison to add needed secondary depth. Anthony Madison - #37 - Cornerback - 5'9" - 180lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Madison signed a contract with Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: He'll add depth for the Colts after several injuries in the secondary. Adam Vinatieri - #4 - Kicker - 6'0" - 202lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Colts president Bill Polian says Vinatieri's target return date from knee surgery is around Thanksgiving, according to the Indianapolis Football Report.
Impact: Polian said that's not a hard target, but it looks like Indianapolis expects him to be ready for the final month of the season. Matt Stover will continue to handle field goals and extra points while Vinatieri is out. Dallas Clark - #44 - Tight End - 6'3" - 252lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Clark caught 14 passes, the third-highest single-game total by an NFL tight end, as the Colts beat Houston 20-17 on Sunday.
Impact: Clark racked up 119 yards continuing his solid fantasy season. He has just one touchdown in his last five games, but continues to be a focal point in Peyton Manning's potent passing attack. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Wayne had eight catches for 64 yards in a 20-17 win over Houston on Sunday.
Impact: Wayne failed to find the end zone for the first time since Week 2, and he hurt fantasy owners by throwing an interception on a trick play, but he remains perhaps the top option in the game at receiver and should be in your lineup for Sunday night's showdown against New England, which does not possess a top shutdown cornerback. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Addai had 63 yards rushing, 49 yards receiving and a touchdown each way as the Colts beat Houston 20-17 on Sunday.
Impact: Addai's value takes a serious hit as soon as rookie Donald Brown returns from injury, considering the two were sharing carries before Brown went down. But as long as he remains the lone back, he should be in your lineup. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Manning attempted 50 passes and threw for 318 yards in a 20-17 win over Houston on Sunday.
Impact: He was picked off once and only threw for one touchdown against the upset-minded Texans, but still managed a seventh 300-yard effort in eight games. He remains perhaps the top fantasy quarterback, and he should be amped up for Sunday night's meeting with the New England Patriots. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Collie downplayed the severity of his neck injury after Sunday's win over Houston. He left in the fourth quarter after feeling tingling in his neck after landing hard on the turf. "It was just a neck issue. As long as you make the catch, you'll be fine," he told the Indianapolis Star. "I'm perfectly fine."
Impact: Check to see if he returns to practice on Wednesday, but at least the initial prognosis sounds encouraging. Jacob Lacey - #27 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 177lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Lacey had nine tackles in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact: Lacey is starting at cornerback with Kelvin Hayden out a month or so with a knee injury. The undrafted free agent has been a savior with the rash of injuries in the Indy secondary. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney had 1.5 sacks and four tackles in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact: Freeney has a sack in all eight games this season. He may be having his best season despite playing with quad and knee injuries. Jerraud Powers - #25 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 192lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Powers had 10 tackles and an interception in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact: Powers' strong play as a rookie has allowed the Colts to overcome several injuries in the secondary. Melvin Bullitt - #33 - Safety - 6'1" - 201lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bullitt had seven tackles in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact: He's no longer splitting playing time with Bob Sanders and will get all the snaps at strong safety. He's someone to consider adding in deeper IDP leagues as a result. Clint Session - #55 - Linebacker - 6'0" - 235lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Session had 14 tackles and an interception in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact: Session had his second interception in two games and is having a strong season by averaging seven tackles per game. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai had 14 carries for 63 yards, including a two-yard touchdown, and had five receptions for 49 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact: Addai had all of the carries but three the last two weeks with Donald Brown out due to a shoulder injury. It's not clear if Brown will be back next week against New England, but Addai will face a tough matchup. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne had eight receptions for 64 yards in Sunday's win over Houston. He also threw an interception on a trick play.
Impact: Wayne had a productive day but didn't get into the end zone. He made a big mistake throwing a pass into coverage on a trick play when he clearly should have tucked the ball away. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning was 34-of-50 for 318 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's win over Houston.
Impact: Manning was on pace for a huge game with 252 yards passing in the first half, but was held to just 76 yards in the second half. He has just one touchdown the last two weeks as the Colts have struggled in the red zone. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon (ankle) hauled in a career-high five passes for 60 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Houston.
Impact: Garcon outplayed rookie Austin Collie, who left the game in the second half with a neck injury after finishing with two receptions for 26 yards. If Collie were forced to miss any time, Garcon's value would bump up a bit, although most of Indianapolis' passing offense goes through Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark anyway. Dallas Clark - #44 - Tight End - 6'3" - 252lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Clark had 14 receptions for 119 yards in Sunday's win over Houston. He also had one carry for four yards.
Impact: Clark didn't get in the end zone but continues to pile up the yardage this season. He's on pace for 1,406 yards. And that trend may continue as he'll remain the main target in the slot with Anthony Gonzalez not close to a return from a knee injury. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Collie left Sunday's win over Houston in the fourth quarter with a neck injury, CBS Sports reports.
Impact: Collie had just two receptions for 26 yards before departing. If he's out for any length of time Pierre Garcon would have a larger role in the passing game. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Sun. Nov 8, 2009 |
STATS
News: Manning is the first NFL quarterback to pass for 40,000 yards in any decade.
Impact: Manning needed 19 yards to reach the milestone. He did it on a 5-yard completion to Pierre Garcon in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Manning needs four touchdown passes to become the first in league history to throw for 300 in a decade. Chad Simpson - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 216lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simpson could be in line for some touches as the backup to Joseph Addai on Sunday, as Donald Brown (shoulder) is inactive, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact: Brown was also out of the lineup last week, but Simpson only received one touch, so don't expect too much out of him against the Texans on Sunday. Fili Moala - #95 - Defensive Tackle - 6'4" - 303lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moala (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact: Josh Thomas, signed this week, will replace Moala on the d-line rotation. Jamie Silva - #40 - Safety - 5'11" - 204lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Silva (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact: Silva apparently injured his hip during Thursday's practice, but the Colts need him to play as they're thin at safety with Bob Sanders done for the season. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai's teammate Donald Brown (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact: Brown's absence should mean additional carries for Addai, but Chad Simpson could receive some touches as well. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact: Brown was able to practice Wednesday and Thursday before being held out of practice to rest his shoulder injury on Friday. Joseph Addai should see a heavier workload Sunday, while Chad Simpson could sneak in a few carries as Addai's backup. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact: Garcon received time off during practice this week, so he was listed on the injury report. He shouldn't be limited during Sunday's game. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Sat. Nov 7, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon (ankle) did not practice Friday because he was given the day off and is likely to play against Houston, the Indianapolis Star reports. However, he's listed as questionable on the injury report.
Impact: This report seems very speculative, so watch to make sure he's active before Sunday's game. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Sat. Nov 7, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) did not practice on Friday because he was given the day off and is likely to play against Houston, the Indianapolis Star reports. However, he's listed as questionable on the injury report.
Impact: He practiced on Wednesday and Thursday, but didn't practice on Friday and wasn't listed as being rested. This report is encouraging, but check to see if he's active before kickoff. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
STATS
News: Sanders will miss the remainder of the 2009 season with a torn biceps tendon, the latest round of bad injury news for the 7-0 Colts.
Impact: After struggling to get on the field with a bum knee that lingered all offseason, Sanders had played in the Colts' last two games but made just three tackles. He injured his arm in Sunday's win over San Francisco. This is a huge loss to the Colts' defense, but not a surprising one considering he's been hurt as often as he's played in his six-year career. Tom Santi - #86 - Tight End - 6'3" - 250lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Santi was signed from the Colts' practice squad, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: He'll help out on special teams and may not get many passes thrown his way unless there are few injuries. Still, he's got strong receiving skills if he ever gets consistent playing time. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon (ankle) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for this week's game against Houston, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: He didn't report an injury after last week's game and was able to fully practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so we can only guess this is minor. However, watch his status before kickoff. Jamie Silva - #40 - Safety - 5'11" - 204lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Silva (hip) fully participated in practice on Friday, but is listed as questionable for this week's game against Houston, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: It looks like he'll play after missing Thursday's practice with the injury. Fili Moala - #95 - Defensive Tackle - 6'4" - 303lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Moala missed Friday's practice with a concussion and is listed as questionable this week against Houston.
Impact: This may be why the Colts signed defensive end Josh Thomas on Friday despite losing three members of the secondary to injury this weekend. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) did not participate in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for this week's game against Houston, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: Brown had participated in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and wasn't even listed on the injury report those days, so this is a surprise. He may have suffered a setback, but in any case check his status before kickoff. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sanders has been placed on injured reserve, the Indianapolis Star reports. He needs surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon.
Impact: Sanders' contract runs through 2012, but it's possible that the Colts may decide to release him in the offseason given his injuries the past two seasons. Melvin Bullitt will resume the starting strong safety role. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sanders is reportedly done for the season with a torn biceps tendon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Impact: Sanders is an impact player when he is healthy, but that hasn't been too often of late, so the Colts have gotten used to playing without him. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sanders will have surgery on his injured elbow, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: It sounds like Sanders is going to be out several weeks at a minimum, but the Colts haven't released a timetable on his recovery. Kelvin Hayden - #26 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 195lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hayden is expected to miss up to four weeks with a knee injury, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: Jacob Lacey, who has performed well as an undrafted free agent, will step into the starting lineup with Hayden out. The Colts will likely take their time to make sure Hayden is ready for the playoffs, so keep any expectations for him the rest of the season to a minimum. Josh Thomas - #91 - Defensive End - 6'5" - 271lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Thomas was signed by Indianapolis.
Impact: He'll add depth to the defensive line but may not be on the field much without a few injuries. Marlin Jackson - #28 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 196lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (knee) was placed on season-ending injured reserve.
Impact: He tore the ACL in his left knee after tearing the ACL in his right knee last season. His career looks in jeopardy at this point. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sanders visited Dr. James Andrews to get an opinion on his injured elbow and is unlikely to play this week against Houston, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: Don't count on Sanders playing this week and a visit to Dr. Andrews usually indicates a significant injury. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gonzalez underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Thursday to clean out loose particles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: Evidently Gonzalez aggravated his knee injury in practice a couple of weeks ago and now it looks like he'll be out another two-to-three weeks. In the meantime, Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon will continue to see an expanded role for the Colts in his absence. Marlin Jackson - #28 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 196lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson confirmed he'll be out for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: Jackson tore the ACL in his right knee last season. Coming back from ACL tears in both knees likely means his career is in jeopardy. Marlin Jackson - #28 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 196lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson tore the ACL in his knee in practice on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season, ESPN.com reports. However, the Colts haven't confirmed the injury, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: Jackson said he would practice this week but then hasn't reported to practice the past two days, so he must have had some kind of setback. If the ESPN.com report is true, it's not clear if he had a setback to the same ACL that he tore last year. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) fully participated in Thursday's practice and came out of Wednesday's practice without any problems, according to the Indianapolis Football Report
Impact: It looks like Brown may not even appear on the injury report and should return to splitting playing time with Joseph Addai. Jamie Silva - #40 - Safety - 5'11" - 204lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Silva missed Thursday's practice with a hip injury.
Impact: He was able to practice on Wednesday, so this is likely minor. Marlin Jackson - #28 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 196lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (knee) did not practice on Thursday.
Impact: Head coach Jim Caldwell didn't give much info on Jackson, but earlier in the week he said he would return to practice, so he must have suffered a setback. Don't expect him to play this week. Kelvin Hayden - #26 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 195lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hayden (knee) missed practice on Thursday.
Impact: The Colts are not giving much detail on his injury, but it sounds like he'll be out this week and maybe longer. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sanders (elbow) did not practice on Thursday. "He's getting it evaluated," head coach Jim Caldwell told the Indianapolis Star. Caldwell says Sanders hurt his elbow in last week's game but was able to play with the injury and only after the game did it become a problem.
Impact: His status for this week's game against Houston looks very uncertain at this point. Melvin Bullitt will likely return to the starting lineup if Sanders is unable to play. Cody Glenn - #52 - Linebacker - 6'0" - 240lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Glenn was activated by the Colts from the practice squad.
Impact: He'll add depth with Tyjuan Hagler out for the season with a ruptured biceps muscle. Tyjuan Hagler - #56 - Linebacker - 6'0" - 236lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
STATS
News: The unbeaten Colts have lost starting linebacker Tyjuan Hagler for the rest of the season with a ruptured biceps. Coach Jim Caldwell said Hagler was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact: Second-year linebacker Philip Wheeler and undrafted rookie Ramon Humber are expected to replace Hagler. Indy also will promote rookie linebacker Cody Glenn to the active roster from the practice squad. Hagler was fourth on the team with 36 tackles. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sanders missed Wednesday's practice with an elbow injury, CBS Sports reports.
Impact: This is likely minor since he played last week and no injury was reported after the game. At least it's not an injury to the knee that caused him to miss the first five games of the season. Marlin Jackson - #28 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 196lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday.
Impact: He had targeted this week as his return after missing three games. He said he'd return to practice earlier in the week, so we'll have to see if he had a setback or the Colts just wanted to give him another day of rest. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) fully participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the Indianapolis Football Report.
Impact: It's surprising that he wasn't limited by the shoulder injury after missing last week's game and not practicing all last week. It looks like he should return this week as a result. Kelvin Hayden - #26 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 195lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hayden (knee) will not practice Wednesday, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: The severity of his injury isn't clear, but it sounds like he could miss this week's game. Jacob Lacey would get more playing time if Hayden is out. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gonzalez did not practice Wednesday and he's seeking another opinion on his knee, according to the Indianapolis Football Report. "I'd say to you I'm not quite certain where he is at this point," head coach Jim Caldwell said. "He's still trying to get to the point where he feels like he can function at his normal level and he's not there yet."
Impact: Gonzalez was originally expected to return by late October, but it sounds like he may have had a setback and could be out much longer. Philip Wheeler - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 240lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wheeler will take over the starting outside linebacker job with Tyjuan Hagler out for the season with a ruptured biceps
Impact: Wheeler had six tackles and a sack last week after Hagler got hurt, so there's some upside here. Watch to see if he's used in more blitz packages because he's seen as more of a pass rusher. Tyjuan Hagler - #56 - Linebacker - 6'0" - 236lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hagler has been placed on injured reserve by the Colts with a ruptured biceps, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: As a result, Philip Wheeler will assume Hagler's starting linebacker slot, beginning Sunday against the Texans. Anthony Madison - #37 - Cornerback - 5'9" - 180lbs
Tue. Nov 3, 2009 |
STATS
News: The Browns waived Madison on Tuesday.
Impact: After playing three seasons with Pittsburgh, Madison appeared in four games this year for Cleveland but did not record a tackle. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Wayne caught a 22-yard TD pass from running back Joseph Addai 7 seconds into the fourth quarter to give Indianapolis an 18-14 win over San Francisco on Sunday.
Impact: Wayne had a career-high 12 catches for 147 yards. He has scored in five straight games and has six TDs on the season. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Addai threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne early in the final quarter to give Indianapolis an 18-14 win over San Francisco on Sunday.
Impact: It was Addai's first TD pass as a pro and the first by a Colts non-quarterback since Ken Dilger threw one in 2001. Addai, though, was held to 62 yards on 20 carries. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Manning was out of sync in Indianapolis' 18-14 win over San Francisco on Sunday.
Impact: Manning finished 31 of 48 for 347 yards, failing to match the efficiency he had in Indy's first six games. The three-time MVP also failed to throw a TD pass for the first time since Nov. 30, 2008. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Indianapolis head coach Jim Caldwell did not sound optimistic that Gonzalez (knee) would return this week. "I'm not sure we're going to get much out of him this week," Caldwell told the Indianapolis Football Report. "We'll take a look midweek and see where he is when we get ready to start practicing on Wednesday. We'll see what happens."
Impact: There are reports he's been running routes and working out, but it still sounds like he's a few weeks away from playing in a game. Check to see if he returns to practice this week. Matt Stover - #3 - Kicker - 5'11" - 178lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |

News: Stover made all four field goal attempts, but did not have an extra point attempt, in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
Impact: His longest field goal was from 40 yards out. It remains to be seen if he's a reliable option from longer distances, but he'll get plenty of opportunities while Adam Vinatieri is out with a knee injury. Vinatieri may return in December. Philip Wheeler - #50 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 240lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wheeler had six tackles and a sack in Sunday's win over the 49ers. It was his first career sack.
Impact: Wheeler entered training camp as the favorite to win the outside linebacker job but lost the spot to Tyjuan Hagler. However, Hagler hurt his elbow in last week's game and that could open more playing time for Wheeler. He has upside for deeper IDP leagues if he's used to blitz the quarterback as he has pass-rushing skills. Tyjuan Hagler - #56 - Linebacker - 6'0" - 236lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hagler left Sunday's win over the 49ers with an elbow injury, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: Philip Wheeler would get more playing time if he's out. Kelvin Hayden - #26 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 195lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Hayden was inactive for the Colts' game against Baltimore on Sunday after leaving their 18-14 win over San Francisco on Nov. 1 with a knee injury.
Impact: Hayden will try to return Nov. 29 against Houston. Kelvin Hayden - #26 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 195lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hayden left Sunday's win over the 49ers with a knee injury, the Indianapolis Star reports. He also played despite suffering a concussion in the third quarter.
Impact: With the two injuries, his status is uncertain this week against Houston. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sanders had an interception along with two tackles in Sunday's win over San Francisco. He was on the field for 41 plays, an increase from 32 plays last week, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact: It looks like he's getting enough playing time now to merit a pickup in deeper IDP leagues. Robert Mathis - #98 - Defensive End - 6'2" - 245lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Mathis had a sack against San Francisco in Week 8.
Impact: Mathis now has six sacks on the year and looks to be in line to ring up double-digit QB takedowns for the second consecutive season. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon had four receptions for 53 yards in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
Impact: It's been four games since he's had a touchdown and has just 86 yards receiving in his last three games. He's become the No. 4 target in the passing offense as Austin Collie has moved ahead of him for receptions. However, Garcon has the speed to score from distance each week (he had a 32-yard reception on Sunday), so he still has upside for deeper leagues. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Collie had six receptions for 66 yards in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
Impact: He snapped a streak of three consecutive games with a touchdown, but still had the third most receptions on the team. He's become the No. 3 receiving target in the offense after Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark and ahead of Pierre Garcon. That may be the case for several more weeks with no sign of Anthony Gonzalez's return from a knee injury. Dallas Clark - #44 - Tight End - 6'3" - 252lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Clark had eight receptions for 99 yards in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
Impact: He didn't get in the end zone, but his strong first half of the season continues (584 yards receiving in seven games). He's become Peyton Manning's No. 2 option with Anthony Gonzalez out with a knee injury. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai had 20 carries for 62 yards and had two receptions for four yards in Sunday's win over the 49ers. He also threw a 22-yard touchdown pass on a halfback option.
Impact: Addai had his most carries of the season with Donald Brown out with a shoulder injury, and had all but one of Indy's rushing attempts. It sounds like Brown could be out another week or two, so he may get another heavy workload next week against Houston. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning was 31-of-48 passing for 347 yards, but didn't have a touchdown or interception in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
Impact: Indy's offense stalled in the red zone most of the day, aside from when Joseph Addai threw a touchdown to Reggie Wayne on a halfback option. Manning faced more pressure than in recent weeks as he was sacked three times after entering the game going 17 quarters without being sacked. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (knee) had a sack to go along with two tackles against San Francisco Sunday.
Impact: Another week, another sack for Freeney. He has recorded a sack in every game this season and now has a team-high eight QB takedowns thus far. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne (groin) had 12 receptions for 147 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's 18-14 win over San Francisco.
Impact: Interestingly, Wayne scored the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter on a pass from Joseph Addai, not Peyton Manning. Wayne missed a couple of practices during the week, but his status for Sunday's game was never truly in doubt. He should be fine moving forward. Jacob Tamme - #84 - Tight End - 6'3" - 236lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Tamme (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact: Tamme hasn't been a factor in the passing game for the Colts, but his presence will help the team out on special teams. Eric Foster - #68 - Defensive Tackle - 6'2" - 265lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Foster (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact: Foster has 14 tackles and half a sack thus far, which places him on the IDP bubble. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Impact: Feel free to use Freeney, who has a sack in all six Colts' game thus far, this week if he is one of your IDPs. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai is expected to see a larger workload Sunday against the 49ers with Donald Brown inactive.
Impact: The 49ers' defense has given up an average of 88.8 yards per game to date, but Addai, who has scored in three straight games, should be pretty busy this week without Brown around to steal touches. Chad Simpson - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 216lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simpson will likely be the backup to Joseph Addai against the 49ers with Donald Brown inactive with a shoulder injury.
Impact: The Colts have said they'll give Addai a bigger workload, so we don't think Simpson will step in and get the same workload that Brown usually gets. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) is inactive against the 49ers, the Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact: Joseph Addai will get a bigger share of the workload as a result, with Chad Simpson becoming his backup. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne (groin) will start Sunday's game against the 49ers, ESPN reports.
Impact: Feel free to roll with Wayne as you normally would this week. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne (groin) is expected to start against the 49ers on Sunday, NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports.
Impact: We'll verify his status leading up to kickoff, but quietly, Wayne has been one of the league's more durable players, having not missed a game since his rookie season (2001). Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Addai will see a larger workload this week with Donald Brown unlikely to play with a shoulder injury. "[He will get] as many [snaps] as he wants and then maybe there are times that he wants to come out of there and we'll relieve him," head coach Jim Caldwell told CBS Sports. "I would anticipate that his load may be heavier."
Impact: Addai has been splitting playing time with Brown, but it looks like he'll get the bulk of the work this week. Chad Simpson will back up Addai if Brown can't play. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (knee) returned to practice on Friday and says he will play this week against San Francisco, the CBS Sports reports. He's listed as questionable on the official injury report.
Impact: He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He's been getting time off for minor injuries and then played, so we'd expect the same pattern this week. Jacob Tamme - #84 - Tight End - 6'3" - 236lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Tamme (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, but is listed as questionable against the 49ers.
Impact: That's good news for Indy's special teams, but he hasn't been a factor in the passing game. Eric Foster - #68 - Defensive Tackle - 6'2" - 265lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Foster (shoulder) fully participated in practice on Friday, but is listed as questionable against the 49ers.
Impact: It looks like he'll play despite the questionable tag. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gonzalez (knee) is listed as out against the 49ers and did not return to practice this week, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: There was talk Gonzalez could return to practice this week after running routes last weekend, but there were no signs he was ready to get back on the field. It still may be a few more weeks before he's ready to get back in game shape. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne (groin) fully participated in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable this week against the 49ers, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: He's expected to play despite the questionable injury designation. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) did not practice on Friday and listed as doubtful this week against San Francisco, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: Since he didn't practice all week, we'd be shocked if he played. Joseph Addai will get more carries as a result and Chad Simpson will take over backup duties. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne (groin) returned to practice on Friday and the Colts are optimistic he'll play this week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: We'll wait for his official injury designation, but it sounds like he'll be able to start this week. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne (groin) did not practice on Thursday, but Colts president Bill Polian said he anticipated Wayne playing this week, CBS Sports reports.
Impact: Check to see if he practices on Friday as the Colts usually hold out players who don't practice all week. Still, if Polian says he should play, we wouldn't be too worried. Eric Foster - #68 - Defensive Tackle - 6'2" - 265lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Foster did not practice Thursday due to a shoulder injury.
Impact: Foster had a rare half a sack last week. He's mostly a run stuffer who doesn't make many tackles. It's not clear if this is a serious injury, so we'll have to see if he practices on Friday. Jacob Tamme - #84 - Tight End - 6'3" - 236lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Tamme did not practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury.
Impact: Tamme has just one reception this year, but is drawing raves on special teams. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gonzalez (knee) did not practice Thursday.
Impact: It was thought he could return to practice this week, but so far there are no signs of him on the field. Even if he returned on Friday, it would be hard to envision him playing this weekend with only one day of practice since he hurt his knee. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (knee) did not practice Thursday.
Impact: He may just be getting some time off since he played last week, but check his status on Friday. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) did not practice Thursday.
Impact: Brown said on Wednesday he thought he could practice this week, but there's been no sign he's close to getting on the field. Team president Bill Polian said earlier in the week he could miss two to three weeks, and that looks more likely at this point. Still, watch to see if he practices on Friday. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact: So far there haven't been any red flags concerning Freeney's Week 8 availability, but we'll let you know if that changes. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact: More on Brown's status in the coming days, but his availability for Sunday's game against the 49ers appears uncertain. As a result, Joseph Addai could be busy this weekend. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gonzalez (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact: Coach Jim Caldwell does expect Gonzalez to return to practice this week, so there's at least a chance we could see him out there Sunday against the 49ers. The Colts may need Gonzalez too, especially if Reggie Wayne's groin injury lingers. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne (groin) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact: We'll follow Wayne's status as the week continues, but it probably won't be until Friday that we get a clearer idea of his possible Week 8 availability. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne (groin) says he feels good, but is unlikely to practice on Wednesday. "We're hoping he will progress throughout the week and he'll increase his activity," head coach Jim Caldwell told CBS Sports. "We'll see where he is come Friday or so."
Impact: No word on the MRI results on his groin, but the Colts often never comment on test results. It looks like we'll have to see if he practices by Friday to see if he can play this week. The Colts usually held out players who didn't practice during the week under Tony Dungy, but that has changed somewhat under Jim Caldwell (Dwight Freeney, for example). Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (shoulder) says he plans to practice Wednesday despite a shoulder injury, CBS Sports reports. "There may be some phase he'll be able to participate in, but today would be wishful thinking for him, to be honest with you," said head coach Jim Caldwell.
Impact: There have been conflicting reports on the severity of the injury, so check to see if he's able to make it through a practice. Colts team president Bill Polian described the injury as somewhat significant, while Brown has maintained it's a minor injury. It sounds like Caldwell signaled that the odds are against Brown playing this week. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown's injury is described by Colts team president Bill Polian as a "shoulder contusion," according to the Indianapolis Football Report and he was set to have an MRI.
Impact: Brown said the injury was minor after Sunday's game, but the MRI makes it appear more significant. Track his status in practice this week. Anthony Gonzalez - #11 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 193lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gonzalez ran routes Saturday and may return to practice this week, head coach Jim Caldwell told the Indianapolis Football Report.
Impact: It's the first sign since his injury that he may return to practice, but he may need more than one week of practice before he returns to a game. Still, watch his progress this week. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne had an MRI on his sore groin muscle, according to the Indianapolis Football Report. "He did initially feel a little bit of a strain early, and then he felt like he could come back and go," head coach Jim Caldwell said. "He came back, and then after the game was no longer in the balance, he didn't play any longer. He's getting it treated. He felt pretty good about it, but we'll see how it goes."
Impact: We'd still think the injury was minor since he was able to play on Sunday despite the problem, but the MRI makes it sound a bit more serious. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Brown was inactive for a second straight game as the Colts faced Houston on Sunday afternoon.
Impact: The promising rookie left the Colts' 42-6 win over St. Louis two weeks ago with a bruised left shoulder after racking up 58 yards on his two carries. He had initially looked primed to return this week but apparently suffered a setback. Dallas Clark - #44 - Tight End - 6'3" - 252lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Clark had three catches for 44 yards and a touchdown as the Colts beat St. Louis 42-6 on Sunday.
Impact: Clark remains one of the best fantasy tight ends. In each of his last six games, he has either exceeded 70 yards receiving, caught a touchdown or both. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Collie had four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 43-6 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact: Collie has four touchdowns in the last three games, and his growing value would jump even higher if Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne were to miss any time with the groin injury he sustained Sunday. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Wayne is active for Sunday's game against San Francisco and expected to start. He had seven catches for 83 yards with a 6-yard scoring reception on the opening drive of the Colts' 42-6 win over St. Louis on Sunday, but he injured his groin during the game.
Impact: Wayne returned after the injury, but seemed to lack burst and had one catch for 7 yards after halftime. "He was feeling it a little bit toward the end of the second half, so we took him out," Colts coach Jim Caldwell said. "Hopefully he can recover from it quickly." He'll hope to be back for a matchup with San Francisco's mediocre pass defense on Sunday. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Addai had 20 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 42-6 win over St. Louis on Sunday.
Impact: Addai's 3.2 yard-per-carry average wasn't very impressive, but the fantasy upside is that he could see a bump in workload if Donald Brown's shoulder injury ends up keeping the rookie out for any length of time. The Colts, however, face San Francisco's sixth-ranked run defense on Sunday. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: The Indianapolis Colts were too good Sunday for Manning to tie the NFL record with his sixth straight 300-yard game.
Impact: It wouldn't have been appropriate for Manning to try for the mark the way his unbeaten team was beating up on the woeful St. Louis Rams. Manning still threw for three touchdowns in a 42-6 victory. He was 23 for 34 for 235 yards and remains one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in the game - particularly with three straight home games coming up, starting with San Francisco on Sunday. Melvin Bullitt - #33 - Safety - 6'1" - 201lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bullitt split playing time with Bob Sanders in Sunday's win over St. Louis and had three tackles.
Impact: Bullitt may lose his starting safety job with Sanders back from a knee injury, but he should still be on the field a significant amount of time. He'd likely be a starting safety for other teams given his improvement the past few seasons, so he'll frequently be on the field with Sanders. Daniel Muir - #90 - Defensive Tackle - 6'2" - 312lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Muir had seven tackles and half a sack in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
Impact: He moved into the starting line after the release of Ed Johnson, but don't expect this kind of production every week. He's mostly a run stuffer. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sanders (knee) was on the field for 32 plays in Sunday's win over St. Louis, but recorded just one tackle. "After halftime, there was no swelling, which is what I've been looking for," he told the Indianapolis Star. "I made some cuts out there I wasn't real sure about going into the game. So I feel like I did OK. I've still got to get my feet underneath me, but with more reps and practice, that'll come."
Impact: He split playing time at safety with Melvin Bullett. Expect his playing time and role to increase next week against San Francisco. Gijon Robinson - #47 - Tight End - 6'1" - 255lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Robinson had three receptions for 38 yards in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
Impact: With the emergence of Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon as dependable third receivers, Robinson hasn't been a big factor in the Indy passing game. Don't expect that to change despite Sunday's showing. Hank Baskett - #81 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 220lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Baskett had one reception for five yards in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
Impact: It was his first reception with the Colts. He's been limited to special teams and may not get many more receptions without several injuries or unless he appears late in a blowout. Pierre Garcon - #85 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 210lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Garcon had three receptions for 24 yards in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
Impact: Garcon had two touchdowns in Indy's first two games after Anthony Gonzalez went down, but Austin Collie (with four touchdowns in the last three games) has been the hot hand recently. The two continue to split time as the second receiver and while both have been productive, neither may be totally reliable on a week-to-week basis for fantasy purposes. Austin Collie - #17 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 200lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Collie had four receptions for 36 yards, including an eight-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
Impact: Collie has four touchdowns in his last three games. Pierre Garcon had two touchdowns in Indy's first two games after Anthony Gonzalez went down, but only Collie has hit paydirt since. The two continue to split time as the second receiver and while both have been productive, neither may be totally reliable on a week-to-week basis for fantasy purposes. Still, Collie is the hot hand. Dallas Clark - #44 - Tight End - 6'3" - 252lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Clark had three receptions for 44 yards, including a 27-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
Impact: Clark continues to be the No. 2 option in the Indy passing game after Reggie Wayne even with the development of Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon. Chad Simpson - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 216lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Simpson had three carries for 35 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over the Rams.
Impact: Simpson got playing time in the second half amid an injury to Donald Brown and a blowout win. Brown's injury is thought to be minor, so he'll likely return to a limited role next week. Dwight Freeney - #93 - Defensive End - 6'1" - 268lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Freeney had two tackles and a sack in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
Impact: He's now had a sack in seven consecutive games. The quad injury that at one point was going to sideline him several weeks doesn't look like a worry. Jacob Lacey - #27 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 177lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Lacey had three tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Rams.
Impact: Lacey, an undrafted free agent, is becoming a bigger factor in the Indy secondary and helping to overcome some early injuries. He did get a celebration penalty on his touchdown, which maybe wasn't the smartest move for a rookie. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The groin injury that briefly kept Wayne out of Sunday's win over the Rams doesn't appear to be serious, the Terre Haute News reports. He had seven receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown.
Impact: Wayne didn't talk to reporters after the game, so we won't get a full read on the injury until Wednesday's practice. Still, he was able to play with the ailment so it's likely not a worry for this week's game against the 49ers. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown says the shoulder injury that caused him to leave Sunday's win in the second quarter is minor. "I'll be all right," he told the Indianapolis Star. "It's something I've had before in college. I know how to handle it. I'll be back (today)." He had two carries for 58 yards before departing.
Impact: The Colts didn't need to risk playing Brown in the second half amid a rout. The injury likely robbed fantasy owners of a big day since he likely would have had a big workload in the second half (third string running back Chad Simpson scored a touchdown in his absence). Still, he outperformed Joesph Addai (3.2 yards per carry) and it seems just a matter of time before his workload grows if healthy. Peyton Manning - #18 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 230lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning was 23-of-34 for 235 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's blowout win over St. Louis.
Impact: Manning missed a sixth consecutive 300-yard passing game as he sat out the fourth quarter amid the rout. The Colts continue to roll and are getting great offensive line play as Manning hasn't been sacked in the last 17 quarters. Donald Brown - #31 - Running back - 5'10" - 210lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown suffered a sprained shoulder in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Before his injury, Brown had two carries for 58 yards, including a 45-yard run. Reggie Wayne - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wayne returned to the field in the third quarter after injuring his groin earlier in Sunday's game against the Rams, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: We'll see if there's any fallout regarding Wayne's injury in the coming days, but it looks like the Colts dodged a bullet here. Kelvin Hayden - #26 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 195lbs

News: Hayden had four tackles and an interception in Sunday's win over St. Louis, but left in the fourth quarter with a sprained neck, the Terre Haute News reports.
Impact: Hayden said he thinks he'll be able to play this week. He may have stayed in the game if the score was close. He returned after missing three games due to a hamstring injury. Joseph Addai - #29 - Running back - 5'11" - 214lbs

News: Addai ran for 64 yards on 20 carries with a touchdown in Sunday's 42-6 win at St. Louis.
Impact: Addai's yard per attempt was nothing special, but he was once again productive, although he wasn't involved much in the passing game, catching just one pass for three yards. Rookie Donald Brown suffered a sprained shoulder in the second quarter, after running for 58 yards on two carries, and did not return. If Brown were forced to miss time, Addai would presumably receive a boost in touches, though one could make the argument that Addai has avoided his usual nagging injuries because he hasn't had to shoulder the entire rushing load. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs

News: Sanders (knee) will start Sunday's game against the Rams.
Impact: He could be limited a bit out of the gate, but when healthy, Sanders is a difference-maker in the Colts' defense. Chad Simpson - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 216lbs

RotoWire
News: Simpson (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Impact: He's out there but is unlikely to be much of a factor unless Joseph Addai or Donald Brown gets injured. Freddy Keiaho - #54 - Linebacker - 5'11" - 226lbs

RotoWire
News: Keiaho (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Impact: His IDP numbers are down – 13 tackles and a sack over five games – but Keiaho is available if you need him this week. Tim Jennings - #23 - Cornerback - 5'8" - 185lbs

News: Jennings (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Impact: We'll check back on his status leading up to Week 8's game against the 49ers. Chad Simpson - #35 - Running back - 5'9" - 216lbs

RotoWire
News: Simpson (illness) fully participated in Friday's practice, but is listed as questionable this week against St. Louis.
Impact: He'll likely play despite the questionable tag, but won't get many carries without an injury to Joseph Addai or Donald Brown. Freddy Keiaho - #54 - Linebacker - 5'11" - 226lbs

RotoWire
News: Keiaho missed Friday's practice due to an illness and is listed as questionable against St. Louis, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: He was able to practice the rest of the week, so we would assume a day or two of rest will have him ready to play on Sunday. Tim Jennings - #23 - Cornerback - 5'8" - 185lbs
Fri. Oct 23, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jennings did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable against St. Louis, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: Jennings didn't practice all week so we'd be surprised if he played even though he only has a questionable tag. Bob Sanders - #21 - Safety - 5'8" - 206lbs

RotoWire
News: Sanders (knee) is not listed on Indy's official injury report against St. Louis and had full participation in practice on Friday, the team's official web site reports.
Impact: He's expected to start against St. Louis but will likely be limited to a set number of plays as the team eases him back into action. |
