NFL Week 14: Colts Fantasy Football Projections

Time for your weekly Fantasy Football update for Colts players, as Playoffs start this week in most leagues:

Quarterback:

Peyton Manning - Despite 3 terrible weeks in NFL football, his fantasy football numbers haven't really dropped.  He should definitely play this week against the Titans.

Running Backs:

Joseph Addai: He's out.  Don't play.

Donald Brown: He was injured during last weeks game against the Cowboys, and has really struggled lately.  Add in he doesn't get goal-line carries, and he definitely should not be played.

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

Javarris James:  You want a sleeper, he might not be a bad option.  The Colts like running the ball in the red zone, and James has scored all of the rushing TDs since Addai has been hurt.  Definitely no higher than a flex option, but could get some yards late if the Colts build a lead.

Dominic Rhodes: Recently signed for his third stint with the Colts, I don't expect him to have more than 5 carries.  Not a viable option.

Wide Receivers:

Reggie Wayne: He'll have Courtland Finnegan on him for most of the night, but expect Manning to look his way regardless.  Definite play this week.

Pierre Garcon: Scored a TD last week, and should get another one this week.  Garcon will be needed to stretch the field, and maybe on some over-the-middle catches.  He's a decent #2 this week.

Blair White: Austin Collie, who is out once again, had a big night last season at Tennessee.  Look for White to hammer the seam, and any matchup he may get with a LB will get Manning's attention.  Probably a stretch for a start, but if you're in a pinch, he's manageable.

Taj Smith:  Only going to play Special Teams, so do not play.

Tight Ends:

Jacob Tamme: Play him with no second thoughts.  Titans have been getting killed by TEs as of late.

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

Kicker:

Adam Vinatieri: Titans are giving up 2nd most fantasy points to kickers, as they are excellent in the red zone.  Vinatieri is a great play this week.

Defense:

The Colts should get a few sacks on the very immobile Kerry Collins, and are due for a turnover or 2.  Only in a pinch would I play them, but like White, could work if necessary.
