mrpnlu Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 When asked Wednesday whether he expects Marvin Harrison (knee) to play in Week 13, Peyton Manning answered "I wouldn't count on it." The Indianapolis Star doesn't expect Harrison to be back in action until the playoffs, and believes that if Marvin is active for any more regular season games, he's likely to be limited in them. It'd be hard to drop Harrison in 12-team leagues, but fantasy owners' expectations should be minimal. i dont think his yardage will be up there with gates...but potentially he can be there with kellen with the tds as well...

Flip_Side Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Dallas Clark will just be above average I don't see him being a stud like Gates or Winslow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 With Harrison out, most defenses look to be doubling Wayne and stacking the line to put pressure on Manning and slow down Addai. Clark in this situation is needed more as a blocker in this situation JMHO. He'll still get some looks and dumpoffs, but I don't expect him to put up anything more than the usual yardage and a TD every now and then...

Square Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Sounds like it might up Gonzales' value, but I'm not sure on Clark. I might check the "slightly better" box, but elite sounds like a bit much when the offense isn't as high octane as it has been in the past.

What I find absolutely amazing is the fact that, when asking about an injury report for the Colts, the media goes to Coach Peyton Manning for the word.

Clark has scored 5 of his 7 TDs since Marvin got hurt in the first quarter of the Denver game. He scored the TD in the JAX game while Marvin was on the bench. While I agree that Clark isn't going to be a yardage monster, his TD production hinges strongly on Gonzalez. Gonzalez had over 100 yds last week and, not coincidentally, Clark had his first TD since Week 7. Given Moorehead is on IR and that Craphonso Thorpe is their #3 WR now, it's also possible that Clark will see a lot more action in the slot (like he did last year when Stokley and Proehl were injured).

FishFreak Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I keep hearing Harrison's knee injury is career threatening. Any truth to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 The Colts should call up Charles Rogers and see if playing for/with Peyton manning straightens him out. The guy certainly has enough talent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
