Indianapolis Colts 2010 Wide Receiver Preview
Reggie Wayne
After Andre Johnson (and possibly including) it is a pretty even
flow of fantasy wide receivers. Naturally whether you are in a points
per reception league or not will help you determine the best receivers
for your team, but it is important to find the most consistent stud
with the best quarterback and offense available. Enter Reggie Wayne.
You will be hard-pressed to find a receiver with a better quarterback
and offense than Wayne has in Manning and the Colts. Wayne has caught
676 career passes for 9,393 yards and 63 touchdowns from Manning
including six consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. In 2007 he caught
104 passes for 1,510 yards and ten touchdowns, so Andre Johnson
type numbers are possible.
A bad news/good news situation for Wayne is the significant improvement
of tight end Dallas Clark and development of young receivers Pierre
Garcon and Austin Collie not to mention the return of Anthony Gonzalez
from injury. Naturally the negative with all these good receivers
is it means less looks for Reggie Wayne, but the big benefit is
that it means less double-teaming of Wayne and therefore more easy
catches just like in 2009.
