[HurryUpSundays]

I know there has to be a thread out there but I used the search tool, to no avail.

Sounds like is now an every down receiver and obviously had a dandy 1st pre season game. Luck could have a very Dalton-like season throwing the ball, and with Collie's ADP in the 14th round, I see incredible potential value.

Are you buying?

 

[Banger]

absolutely...I think his ADP will rise, especially after Luck looked good and hit Collie on a long TD, but he could still be the #1 wr on the team that will be passing a ton. He needs to stay healthy but a perfect 4/5 wr...zero risk and all upside.

buying yes, but he's being taken as early as the 8th round. Which is where he'll be taken about in all draft here on out

 

[Corporate]

I am buying. I was leaning that way regardless of the preseason game...I am not one to move a player into a different tier based upon preseason, but simply use it to move the players around in that tier. I had him in a higher tier and moving him closer to the top.

 

[Late225]

I am, but my biggest question is when to grab him. I had Stafford in my sleeper plan last year, but I waited 1 round too long and ended up with Flacco. When's the appropriate time to grab Collie? Round 10?

 

[Corporate]

I think it depends on the other league members and if you believe they also see him as undervalued. As a starting point I would simply use his current ADP and move up from there accordingly. As to your question of which round, this depends on a lot of other factors such as how many teams are in your league, the starter requirements and the scoring.

 

[rizzler]

Perhaps you should read what I just wrote.

Else, wait until rnd 10 and see who is not sitting there for you.

Over the weekend, my buddy got him in the 10th of a very competitive PPR money league, Reggie went in the 7th.

in fairness all leagues are different. his ADP which will surely rise was 14th round on 8/10.

it's early 12th today average, while yesterday was 14th.do climb an avg 2 rnds in one day is substantial, means he's likely being taken much earlier than some of you are expecting, by the "sharks"

 

[Zackattack]

Yeah I liked him but it depends how fast he rises. There is Wayne there and Fleener his college TE. I am not sure where he will be in the pecking order. Week 1 preseason game he looked like the first option I am guessing right? If he stays there he should be drafted around where Wayne is going. I don't want Wayne he seems to lack separation anymore.

 

[duaneok66]

do a bunch of mock drafts. That will give you some kind of idea.

 

[Rick James]

I like Reggie Wayne more.

 

[moderated]

 

[Stinkin Ref]

got a bad feeling about that hit he just took....

 

[bonesman]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's done.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

....wow

 

[moderated]

If he had a concussion, which stumbling off the field would indicate, he's most likely going to be shut down for a long time.

Larry Foote may have just ended Collie's career.

Seriously

 

[12punch]

I always thought an egghead meant something else

 

[wsig]

Larry Foote may have just ended Collie's career.Seriously

I've always hated that idea. Unless it's a one-off, no one is ending anyone's career. The concussions before his tonight played a much bigger part in ending his career, if it is over which it probably should be, than Foote's hit ever did. It comes off as people wanting bragging rights over what amounts to just a tough break in a physical game.

Methinks you are being a little overly sensitive for lack of a better term.Of course all of the previous concussions are a bigger part but the hit Foote put on Collie may have been the last straw. Just like Lavar Arrington ended Troy Aikman's career. It wasn't that hit alone but it was the last hit that finished the deal.Same could be the case with Foote and Collie.

Yeah, I'm not exactly sensitive about a league average WR. I just don't understand the fascination with the phrase or the idea.

 

[hammerva]

That has to be his 3rd or 4th big time concussion. I would be worried what he is going to become in about 20 years.

 

[pghrob]

Have to think he needs to retire now. The risk of permanent damage and early onset CTE just not worth it.

Didnt say you were sensitive about Collie in particular. And who is fascinated by the phrase?If in fact Collie never plays again and Foote put the last hit on him, when without that hit Collie likely could have continued playing (until the next hit to the head) it can be said that Foote ended his career. The fact that you don't like the phrase doesnt make it not so.

 

[Fantaholic]

Someone like Pierre Garcon would look good in a Colt's uniform right about now...

 

[Addai's Adidas]

He;s done. This is what will happen Javid Best when he comes back. First hard hit to the head and that's it.

Fans are fascinated with it, that's who. I remember Bucs fans being all about Sapp ending Jerry Rice's season, and even though I was a huge Sapp fan, it seemed cheap and a silly fanboy idea. Which is not a shot at you, but the idea. I mean, if Collie's career is over, it's because of concussions. It's because his head if going to be Jell-o (quite literally) if he continues. Whether the last one is from Foote or he plays again and gets a concussion in another hit from another player, it's irrelevant really. But people always want to say that Aeneas Williams ended Steve Young's career and whatnot. But no one cares who gave him his first concussion. They just like to glamorize the last one, for some sort of archaic bragging rights and nothing else.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Austin Collie exited Sunday night's preseason game against the Steelers with a possible concussion.

Officially, he's being evaluated for "concussion symptoms" after complaining to the Colts' medical staff following a first-quarter armbar to the helmet. Collie played in all 16 games last season, but suffered three concussions the previous year. Another concussion would obviously be a big concern. Collie has looked awfully sharp this preseason, catching three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in the exhibition opener. His status going forward is unknown.

They tried to pay him. He wanted out.

I'm pretty sure it won't literally turn into jell-O

thx for the update

 

[mere blitzianity]

Put a fork in him

 

[KellysHeroes]

hope hes ok, he looked like a steal

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Huge Collie fan, thought he was going to be the steal all of all fantasy drafts this year. However, I think Collie needs to seriously considering calling it a career. Life is more important and precious than football. It will be hard for him to retire, knowing full well he is entering his prime with a great young qb and it is all he has known for his life, but it probably should be in his best interest.

Absolutely hate when careers are cut short due to injuries!

 

[whatadai]

Collie is one of my favorite players. Drafted him as a rookie. Sad to see his career go this direction, but I'd also rather he retire. Don't want to see my favorite players, like Junior Seau, go through the same thing.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

How is Donnie Avery?

 

[TheWick]

Hasn't played much. TY Hilton looks to be the beneficiary.

As a fan one of the worst parts of watching players get concussed is that you stop rooting for their comebacks. When a guy tears up his knee and tries to come back you pull for him but with a concussion you start to cringe and say "man I just hope he retires".

 

[Shutout]

I know the aggregate number of concussions are a concern but IF there is a sliver of hope, maybe it can be in that he did play all last year without one.

Overall, I just maintain concern for him because it appears (and I'm not certain of this) that some people are just a bit more susceptible and he seems to be one of those people.

In the big picture for the Colts, I don't think they will rush him back (if at all) if he has one. With Wayne all over the place and that collection of small speed in Brazill, Hilton, Avery, etc, I think they won't feel the need.

Unrelated but Dwayne Allen looks like he is going to be a STAR in this league. That guy does it all. I know most people will focus on his catches but he was man-handling people on blocks last night and I I'm seeing a lot of runs coming to his side when he blocks and all the goal line stuff included him. To me, that suggests that this guy may seldom leave the field and is probably helping make a candidate for at least 2-3 TDs this year where they fake the block and he just slips off past the defender for a catch. Really liking him.

It's a bit puzzling to me how no mention of Austin Collie's possible concussion was in the FBGuys email update today.

That is an gigantic miss. Collie may not play again this year because of this, perhaps ever actually. How could this go unreported?

you are so welcome

I just drafted Austin Collie in the 12th round yesterday around noon, 9 hours later his career could be over and I'm in the market for a new WR4.

Was really high on Collie and it's a shame, he's incredibly talented. For some reason he's just a magnet for blowup decapitating hits, I don't know why.

Concerning thing to me was that play didn't look particually hard.

 

[eoMMan]

Be careful on drafting him too high. The league doesn't mess around with these concussions.

This is one collie that should be on a short leash.

SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
