firstandgoal Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Any Opinions on how the colts will be affected without Wayne against the Jets? As you can see below I have Manning and Harrison. I need a win this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiea Sparks Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well I don't see any possible way it can be good for them. That being said they are playing the Jets so I don't think you will see a big drop in either of their numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primetime9287 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Is Stokley healthy? It seems if Wayne doesnt play, that #2 WR could be worth a look this week, especially if you have Alexander and TO on your roster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major-tom Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Brett Favre played one day after his father died. I think Reggie Wayne will play. I'm not sure this is a case where precedent matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) The Colts GM Bill Polian said Reggie Wayne would be back in Indy later this week in a local radio interview I heard this afternoon.

Brentastic Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 If you don't think Manning/Harrison will blow up this week, then you should quit FF. NYJ opposing QB/WR tandem this year: Collins/Bennett: 223-0/106-0 Brady: 220-1 Losman/Evans/Parish: 328-1/107-0/104-1 Excluding Brady who never had a go-to-guy, 2 scrubby QBs and their scrubby a$$ WRs put up respectable stats. My guess is Harrison gets 140+/2 if Wayne is out. However, I think Wayne will play. Even still, Harrison will get at least 1 TD and 100+. Manning will be good for 300/3TDs regardless of who is in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74tommyboy Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Supposedly, Aaron Moorehead will be lined up w/ Harrison. This ought to be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Could be good for Harrison, if Wayne doesn't play. But I wouldn't look for a huge game from Manning either way, since they're playing the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Supposedly, Aaron Moorehead will be lined up w/ Harrison. This ought to be interesting. Translation for Colt fans: that will suck. Since Moorehead pretty much does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hell, AGNES Moorehead could put 120/2 against the J-E-T-S After she puts them under an evil spell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Fixed Yeah and Pennington's arm will fall off in the 1st half of the first game and no Jet will have any value at all FF-wise and blah blah blah.... Was buying all that in August; not now. Not that they're exactly SB bound, but only a fool thinks there's no way they can win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could... if Manning, Harrison, Clark, Freeney, Brackett, and June missed the game. Manning barely used Wayne in the Giants game and the passing game was still stellar.

Randall Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 where are you getting this? Manning stated again today that he expects that Reggie will be back for the game against the Jets. The funeral is planned for next Tuesday, which is most NFL player's day off. Associated Press National Football League News Wire INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts receiver Reggie Wayne is expected to return to Indianapolis on Thursday and could be available to play Sunday against the New York Jets. Wayne left town Sunday night after finding out his older brother, Rashad, was killed in a traffic accident that day in Kenner, La. Reggie Wayne has been in Louisiana all week to help the family make funeral arrangements. "The last conversation I had with him, he said he'd be back in Indianapolis sometime tomorrow," coach Tony Dungy said Wednesday. "Right now, I think he will play." Dungy was not sure whether Wayne would return in time for Thursday's practice. Wayne's 32-year-old brother was killed Sunday morning when the delivery truck he was driving crashed into a highway guardrail. Police said Rashad Wayne was pronounced dead at the scene. Linebacker Cato June, one of Wayne's closest friends, said he thought Wayne would try to play Sunday. "He's doing as best he can," June said. "If he's feeling well enough, I'm sure he'll come back and play. If not, everyone understands that family comes first." Wayne is one of the key components in the Colts' high-scoring offense. Last year, Wayne caught a career-high 83 passes to lead the Colts. It was the first time someone other than Marvin Harrison led the Colts in receptions since 1998, Manning's rookie season. Harrison had 82 receptions in 2005. In the first three games this year, Wayne has caught 14 passes for 284 yards and is fourth in the NFL in yards receiving. Quarterback Peyton Manning said he understood the funeral might be Tuesday, a day most teams have off in the NFL. "I have talked to him, and I told him we're praying for him and thinking about him," Manning said. "I know he's going through a tough time and whatever he wants to do, he'll do. But I expect him to play." Dungy has said that the team would try to get as many players, coaches and team officials to the funeral in Louisiana as they could, and he and Manning said they wanted to attend. It's the second tragedy to hit the Colts in less than a year. Last December, Dungy's oldest son, 18-year-old James, committed suicide in a Florida apartment.
