It will be “Turner the Burner” against the Giants

Posted by Oliver Macklem under Michael Turner, Predicting, Reggie Wayne, Ryan Fitzpatrick on Dec 12, 2012

First impressions are often very misleading in fantasy. At first glance, it appears starting Michael Turner against a Giants run defense that allows the 9th fewest fantasy points to running backs, is a bad idea. However, a Giants team that has many holes in their secondary, won’t be focused on Turner. New York will be scrambling to cover Roddy White, Julio Jones & Tony Gonzalez, leaving Turner with a favorable number of defenders in the box. That’s why I’m giving Turner the Green Light to be in all fantasy lineups this week. The same can’t be said for Reggie Wayne and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Midseason surprises: The rise of the rookie studs

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Alfred Morris, Lists, Percy Harvin, Reggie Wayne on Oct 30, 2012

We’ve watched half a season of football, and so far we’ve learned that we were justified in our concern about Cam Newton’s fight against history, and we were probably searching for reasons to worry when we wondered if Victor Cruz’s home run hitting would be a problem. Meanwhile, the battle between DeMarco Murray and trust is one that will forever be etched in mythical folklore.

None of that is especially surprising. Instead, a group of players have supplied the surprise. Many of them are rookies, and many were either available on the waiver wire earlier in the year, or at a heavily discounted draft price. So join me for a listicle, and let’s recount the top five surprises of the season’s first eight games.

Say, how depressing is it that the season’s already halfway over, and the fantasy season is approaching stretch drive time? Happy thoughts in, evil out.

The Tape Never Lies: Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne, and the Colts’ perfect play execution

Posted by Alen Dumonjic under Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne, The Tape Never Lies on Oct 11, 2012

Bill Parcells once said “if they don’t bite as pups, they probably don’t bite” when talking about his young franchise, a quote that still applies to the Indianapolis Colts, and especially this past Sunday. The Colts bit hard into the Green Bay Packers after coming back from an 18-point deficit at halftime and upsetting them for the 30-27 victory. The win was a special one, not only because it leveled their record for the season, but because of their absent head coach.

Chuck Pagano was was diagnosed with leukemia days earlier and forced to take an emergency leave from the team. In his honor, the team played their hearts out and were “Chuckstrong” during their comeback as they drove down the field multiple times, including a 13-play, 81-yard drive that used up nearly four minutes of the fourth quarter clock and sealed a win. The Colts were led by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and ageless veteran Reggie Wayne.

Week 5 GIFs: Reggie Wayne laughs at the conventional two-handed catch

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Indianapolis Colts, Moving pictures, Reggie Wayne on Oct 09, 2012

Due to the Canadian Thanksgiving yesterday in which we all celebrated the successful harvest of this year’s crops, your moving pictures of the week are a day later this time around.

Not to worry, though, because Brandon Lloyd’s goofballism is not bound by the constraints of time, and neither is Kurt Coleman’s shoe robbery.

In case you didn’t hear, Reggie Wayne had a fantasy day to remember

Posted by Darren Kritzer under Reaction, Reggie Wayne on Oct 07, 2012

Anyone you thought the Indianapolis Colts would defeat the Green Bay Packers should start asking for money in return for their picks, or be en route to Vegas to start a new career, or you’re just flat out lucky. But, if you actually thought Reggie Wayne would look like, well, the old Reggie Wayne today, I give you full props for that.

If you’re wondering just how good a day he had.

On the day, Wayne finished with 212 yards receiving on 13 receptions and one touchdown. Also, this…

Oh ya, the Colts defeated the Packers 30-27.
