Poor Reggie Wayne. And Dallas Clark. Austin and Pierre too. These orphaned receivers just learned the identity of their new provider. And it’s not comforting.
Kerry Collins. Kerry… Freaking… Collins.
The 38-year old ex-retiree is putting the chin strap back on for Indy. Colts loyalists must be devastated. How good can Collins possibly be? What does this mean for Peyton? Will Jags fans start laughing at them? It could happen.
OK, OK, everyone settle down. Let’s focus on what matters. The real losers are the fantasy owners who are baffled by the impact on some key players.
Let’s break it down:
Peyton Manning – This is a giant question mark. Is Collins merely a safety net? Hardly. Colts owner Jim Irsay hinted there were more substantial problems via Twitter.
My wild guess: Peyton is out a minimum of two games. Maybe four. Just don’t know. Fantasy owners, beware. I wouldn’t pass on Phillip Rivers orMatt Schaub for a risk like Manning. I would take him no earlier than the seventh round. And even then I would close my eyes as I hit “select.”
Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon – I would add 10 spots to their current rankings. Think Austin or Pierre would be known or relevant on a mediocre team? Quick! Name two Browns receivers!
Dallas Clark – His value maintains – early fourth round. Risky QBs love tight ends.
Joseph Addai – Currently going in rounds 5-6, his value remains the same. Sure, they’ll run more, but they also won’t have as many scoring opportunities. A balanced offense benefits everyone.
Kerry Collins – Um no. There are 12 guys I like better.
