Austin Collie! (1 Viewer)

He may be back this week. If out on the waiver wire, is he a good pick up for the rest of the year or not. I'm sure with Dallas Clark out, he willl get quite a few looks each week.

Umm, yes he would be a good pickup if someone dropped him.
 
If Colts play Collie to early from injury...not good

You would think they were smart enough not to...but

Colts threw Gonzalez in last week...&

IMO, he got beat up & we won't see him for awhile...at least not till next year at 100%

Hope Colts are sure Collie's ready to take middle of the field hits this week

Was it the Colts' fault the other 8,000 times he got injured? :goodposting: Collie has a hand injury, which wouldn't lead him to favor, and possibly injure, other parts of his body like a knee or ankle injury would. The only thing it's really going to effect is how well he catches the ball. Obviously that's huge for a WR, but I'd say the likelihood of him getting injured is no greater than any other player out there on Sunday.

This has to be one of the dumbest responses I have ever read...How can having a hand injury make him not ready to take middle of the field hits???
 
Were would you rank him the rest of the way? With Clark out I have to think he would be top 15 but FBG has him 25th. Isn't that very low?

Huh? Dude is currently top 8 in my PPR league and missed a game. He's 2nd in PPG (21pts) only to Roddy White. He was GOLD even when Clark was in there. If he's healthy and stays that way, I see his floor as top 10 with his celing being top 3-5 in that Indy offense.

I agree - let's say we err on the side of caution and he has a down week the first week back. I put him at 10-12 for the rest of the season.
 
I dropped Steve Johnson for collie o hope he get back to form ASAP, I still have doubts with Garçon in the line up though. But in ppr I think he is still gonna get you a high floor.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Man that is so funny but probably true! I traded for him when I heard he was practicing. I gambled and sold Ward and S. Moss for him.His upside is too great to ignore. I have to take the risk. League sharks are beginning to circle, spear gun weapon is exhausted, and my oxygen tank is low.

Well, his early season tear would put him at top 3. I don't think anyone is expecting that. I do think top 12 is very possible as long as he can keep his 80% conversion rate on targets with his surgically-repaired hand. His conversion rate is so damn incredible that if I'm Manning, he's the heart of my attention. 8 out of 10 times that he throws to him (including a bunch of deep balls), he catches it? Just nuts on 50+ targets.

Fixed.

It's neither racism or white guilt. It's just simply stereotyping. Which the brain does naturally. If he were 5'6, 6'8, 280 lbs, or any other "out of the norm" characteristic for a WR, a part of your brain would naturally question if his production is an anomaly. As a white dude, he's a bit less common as a successful WR. Similar to Urlacher as a dominant white LB (though it's becoming more of a trend now). No harm in acknowledging that but also logically disregarding it. Just my take.
 
Getting back to Collie's injury:

(Rotoworld) Austin Collie (thumb surgery) went through another full practice on Friday, according to ESPN's John Clayton.

Seems weird that a surgically repaired thumb is no biggie, but I guess you roll with the guy in a potential shootout against Philly.
 
Didn't catch any of this until I saw this thread. Picked him up and playing him at my flex spot over BMW. (10 team friends and family free league)

Why does FBG have him ranked in the 50s for WRs this week?

I get that he has a thumb injury...but would he be practicing and catching passes if the Colts physicians thought there was a chance at reinjury?

I guess you could argue he'll just be used as a decoy, but if hes catching passes at practice, I don't get why he wouldn't catch them in games.

Its not like he'll have trouble getting off the line given he plays out of the slot.

Very confusing.

 
This is crazy talk but, man I'm consdering playing him over Hillis or Bradshaw this week. PPR league and I think Manny will be throwing alot this game.

Also, with Indy's injuries, there isn't alot of options for Manning to throw to other than Wayne, Collie, and Garcon. Brown too I guess, but after Collie put in two full practices is very tempting to start considering PHI has given up something like 13 TDs in their last 7 games I believe.

 
I have P. Manning and my WRs are Collie, Garcon, Nicks, D Jax....and Crayton on the waiver wire....which 2 would you play here? A little worried about D Jax and thinking Garcon or Collie?????

 
Just my opinion........

But I think that everyone is getting a little ahead of themselves. Collie filled in at Garcon's spot, and put up great stats. But Garcon is back and producing now, and I find it very hard to believe that he will come any where close to his early season form. The fact that Clark is out will help, but I see him as nothing more than a #2 or #3 WR going forward. I think that if there is someone willing to pay for him for what he did earlier in the season, then I would sell.

He has produced with or without Garcon around. He also produced with Clark/Wayne/Garcon around.If he is playing this sunday which it appears he is and the way Manning trusts him and the way he has been used this year I don't see how you don't use him. You won't get a WR 1 for him in a trade and since you see him as a WR 2 is that not a hold and play at this stage?

he produced very well with garcon and clark last yr primarily in a slot type role. with clark gone, it is conceivable his short and middle routes will be more utilized by manning. esp since he has an extra yr of work under his belt and given his performance while garcon was out.in other words, i think the colts can support 3 fantasy viable players and proly even 4.
 
I also noticed with that new "illegal" hit rule, coaches are more welling to call pass cross middle and slants, and WRs are more welling to catch them because it's softer now (as in case of Greg jennings in GB). I predict Collie is going to be the New WES WELKER 2.0 (faster and younger), with Wayne and Garcon stretching the field, especially when playing against good pass rush where the TE has to stay behind and block. Colts doesn't use full back, so we see 3 WR 1 TE set 95% of the time. In PPR league this dude could be the slot machine 2.0.

I agree that anyone who own him, should be keeping and probably starting him, because you would not get a return in a trade that is comparable to the stats that he has put up. You stated the way he has been used this year...once again w/o Garcon!! I am not saying that he will fall off of the map, just that with a full compliment of WRs (minus Clark), I think that the expectations of him should be lessened a little. I guess I am the only one who also thinks that Tamme will get a good percentage of Clarke's looks, and not another WR.Last year Collie finished as WR31 @FBG, and I would anticipate that by the end of this year he will be somewhere between 20-30. He currently sits at #7, and reading the above posts, it seems that most people think he will remain there. Those are very lofty expectations for a guy who is the WR#3 on a team.

4 games with Wayne/Clark and Garcon Collie is averaging 18.5 fantasy points

Exactly, clearly by those numbers Peyton trusts this guy alot because his catch conversion is off the map.
 
your exceptions are bit low, he is # 7 half way through the season, you say he ends up 20-30. Let's check your math.. shall we?#7 to #20 = -13 = #33 for rest HALF of season#7 to #30 = -23 = #55 for rest HALF of seasonRest of season for Collie according to you #33-#55, which is low balling the crap out of this guy! Collie may not remain #7 ROS, but not that low as you suggested.

As a big Colts fan I have to tell you....Collie did NOT fill in at Garcons spot. Collie was ALWAYS in the slot and thats where he will go back to. And I know im going to play Jax and Nicks but im just saying....Collie was the #1 WR before he got hurt.....and that was with CLARK there too...
 
I want to play him so bad but right now I have more solid options. Besides I want him to have a tune-up game first, make sure he looks good is healthy before I put him out there.

With that said, expectaions are high that he won't miss much of a beat barring health.

Roll that dice with him, he is going up against LB, FS or 3rd string CB, 90% collie is better than a 100% welker IMO
