Peyton Manning to miss opener
According to several news outlets and football sources, Peyton Manning (neck) is out for week one. What we are not hearing is for how long. As long as Manning is sidelined, the Colts receivers should be devalued; stay away from the Colts WRs in week one with the exception of Reggie Wayne. Going forward we’ll have to see how back-up quarterback Kerry Collins handles the reigns, before rolling with any of the Colts.
Lance Moore ruled out in week one
With one of Brees favorites on the sideline, step in Marques Colston. The Saints leading receiver should see a few more targets on Thursday with Lance Moore out; fantasy owners should start Colston with confidence.
Antonio Gates close to form?
The Chargers tight end practiced on Wednesday suggesting he is closer to being healthy and ready to return to his Pro Bowl form. Gates was slowed last season by injury, but his recovery has been going well and he is slowly working his way back to form. He should be a safe fantasy start on Sunday.
Arian Foster unsure for Sunday?
That’s a big red flag when the player tells you he doesn’t know if he will go on Sunday. Foster was likely drafted high in most fantasy formats, owners will likely have to wait until game-time before pulling the trigger. If he goes, he should in your lineups, but that is looking like a big “if.”
These are just my takes
