NFL Week Fifteen: Colts Fantasy Football Projections

Fantasy football has hit its playoffs, and most likely you're in the semi-finals.  You have a great chance of making the finals in your league if you have several Colts on your team:

Quarterback:

Peyton Manning - Biggest QB day of the week.  The Jacksonville secondary has been picked apart by lesser QBs, and Manning is going to have a field day.  Don't be discouraged by an INT, as he's thrown one in seven of the past eight games against the Jaguars.  A 30-point day is easily attainable.

Running Backs:

Joseph Addai: He's out.  Don't play.

Donald Brown: Until he gets a touchdown, I see no reason to play Brown.  Plenty of other options, and even one on the Colts.

Mike Hart: He's also out.  Don't play him.

Javarris James:  Definite flex play this week.  Surprisingly enough, the Colts have more Red Zone rushing TDs than the Jaguars do (12 to 11), and James has the last six of them.  I think he gets at least one TD, and possibly a second.  Don't hesitate playing James.

Dominic Rhodes: Didn't have a carry last week against the Titans.  Not a viable option.

Wide Receivers:

Reggie Wayne: Play, play, play.  Big week upcoming for Wayne, who has gone over 100 yards against Jacksonville seven of the past eight matchups, with four TDs.

Pierre Garcon: He's scored three TDs over the past two weeks, including two last week against the Titans.  Definitely play again this week.

Austin Collie: He's returning after missing the past three games, and he'll be a big part of the offense as well.  Probably a stretch as a No. 2 receiver, but could be used as a flex, especially if you play in a point per reception league.  In non-PPR leagues might be a stretch to play him, but he'll be a high risk-high reward play.

Blair White: With the return of Collie, his time on the field will diminish significantly.  Not a viable option this week, unless you are in a major bind.

Taj Smith:  Only going to play special teams, so do not play.

Tight Ends:

Jacob Tamme: I can't recommend not playing Tamme, as he's been a solid play since Dallas Clark's season-ending injury.  Probably a solid 6-7 points this week.

Brody Eldridge, Gijon Robinson: Do not play or pickup.

Kicker:

Adam Vinatieri: He's not the sure-fire play like he was last week (13 points), he'll definitely be on the field for multiple extra points.  Just one FG would make him a good play, but a bad situation for the Colts in general.

Defense:

The Jaguars turn the ball over quite often (over 2 per game), but the Colts haven't been that great forcing turnovers, so there should be other options to play before you get to the Colts defense this week.
