I think the Colts are going to end up passing just as much (albeit not as effectively). I wouldn't downgrade the receivers that much. Clark and Addai get huge downgrades for me however. I'd expect Clark to be less effected than the WRs because he'll be more of a check-down option.

[/QUOTE]Clark is going to be blocking a ton more than ever before, as are the backs. Collins doesn't have a quick release and literally cannot move. And the O-line is awful (which has been masked by Manning's read and release abilities). Unless the Colts go to alot of two TE sets with Brody Eldridge, I think Clark suffers pretty dramatically.

Since when has Clark ever been much of a blocker? I agree with Sandman, Clark's numbers will be the least impacted of the group. He still will have TE1 numbers at the end of the year.

I hope you're right because I have Clark in several FPC leagues. But they have a 54 year old QB who can't move and a bad O-Lline. Someone has to block.

I hope Manning is back by December for the fantasy playoffs but I doubt it, very frustrating.

The saddest part of all of this is Manning and the Colts clearly knew how bad the problems were in late August yet absolutely nothing was made clear to the public.

It is a joke. The whole gamesmanship of hiding injury news is so over blown (as it relates to actual impact in real games) it is beyond belief.

There should have been press conferences and public statements made about how dire his situation was all through August as opposed to the hazy tidbits of info that came followed by "he is off the pup list and cleared to practice!" in late August.

No need for it.

This was even worse than imaginable, huh?

Trash time stats for Wayne aside, what a disaster for everyone.
