Indianapolis Indigestion

As you know, the Colts are 13-0 and have clinched the top AFC playoff seed.  What does that mean for fantasy owners?

How many Colts are relevant at this point in the fantasy season?  Manning, Wayne, Clark, Addai, and Garcon are likley going to be started by many fantasy owners this week.  But, is that a good idea?  Sure, if you've counted on them before, you get the green light again this week after Jim Caldwell came out and said it is full speed ahead, at least for one more week. 

As for next week....?

It's my belief that Manning, Addai, Wayne & Co. are going to be as startable as He Hate Me in Week 16.  You can't count on them at all.  Start making your contingency plans this week.  I'd be shocked if any of those Colts played more than a half against the Jets in Week 16.

What about the other teams?  The Saints say they are going for it, so you can feel pretty comfortable there.  The Vikings look good through Week 16, but they are very likley to ease off with AP and Favre in Week 17.  The Chargers may be able to lock up a number two seed this week also, so keep an eye on them for Week 16 and surely for Week 17.

Cheers,
TFAM
