[My Take]

More football news and happenings from around the league; here’s the latest I am hearing, reading, and following with my take on things and how they will impact the coming fantasy week……

Player Notes From Across My Wire...

Thomas looks for big day in big dance....

The Saints running back Pierre Thomas did not have a big day on the ground against the Vikings number two run defense, but he was effective at time and totaled nearly 100 yards of offense. Against the Colts (ranked 24th against the run) he'll face a less formidable front and should be a huge part of the Saints ground attacked.

Wayne set to breakout on Super Sunday...

The Colts big play receiver and one of Peyton Manning's go-to playmakers, Reggie Wayne was pretty much held in check against the Jets on Sunday catching just three passes for 55 yards. Wayne has just 118 yards receiving in the post season and with the Saints not having any corner of the same calibre as the Jets Darrelle Revis, expect Manning to get his 100-catch receiver involved early and often in the big dance on Super Sunday.

Bush will need to bounce back....

The Saints are going to need a full compliment of weapons to keep pace with the great Peyton Manning. One of the keys will be running back Reggie Bush who can add that estra dimension when he runs well. He'll need to clean up his play for the big dance on Super Sunday; no room for error.

IDP Notes....

Colts will need to apply pressure….

Against the Jets in the AFC championship the Colts defense did a great job slowing down the leagues number one rushing offense, but they were unable to get to the rookie quarterback. Defensive ends Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney will have to bring their best game to apply the needed pressure on Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Mathis and Freeney (23 sacks combined) will have to do a better job of getting to Brees (sacked 20 times in 2009) if they hope to slow the Saints offense.
