Thursday night - Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars

• Non

  

  I want the Colts to win this but I'm not so sure they will with home-field already wrapped up. Jags have to play with more urgency.
  
  Should be a good one on NFL Network.

  Unless Jim Caldwell is a liar, the starters will play for a pretty good margin of this game. I would think if the game is close, it would be more incentive to keep them in since he has said he wants them as sharp as possible and in as competitive a mood going into the playoffs as possible.

  I need the Colts to hold Jones-Drew to -5 yards and two fumbles tonight. Gotta win my fantasy game this week, it's the playoffs(?!).
• Non

  

  Dwight Freeney is going to play. There was come concern there.
  
  But let's face it, the question is how much is Manning going to play?

  Should I start Reggie Wayne and/or Pierre Garcon tonight for my fantasy league playoffs?

  Id start Reggie for sure. Manning has made it no secret that when stuff is locked up (ie home field/playoffs/whatever) he will help his teammates achieve personal goals. 2 years ago it was getting Reggie Wayne 7 passes in the last game before he came out to guarantee Reggie would end the year with the most catches.
  
  Now, with 3 games left I cant guarantee anything. But at the same time, I think Manning will be looking to get Reggie in the endzone today. I also think they are going to play most of the game. Caldwell is NOT Dungy.... but ive been wrong before

  BTW, Wayne is second in the league in receptions (albeit way behind Welker). 4th in TD with 9 (Davis has 11) and 4th in yards with 1078 (A. Johnson has 1237)
  
  I think A. Manning will target Wayne a lot today or B. It will be a normal game where the starters play thus Wayne is likely to have a normal game fantasy wise.

  I should've mentioned that my WR's are.....
  
  Marques Colston vs. Dallas
  Donald Driver @ Pittsburgh
  Hakeem Nicks @ Washington
  Reggie Wayne @ Jacksonville
  Pierre Garcon @ Jacksonville
  
  My league starts 3 WR's each week.
• Non

  

  I'd say Colston, Driver and Wayne
  
  Nicks had a good game last week but hasn't reached the status of consistency like a Wayne.

  Yeah. That's what I originally had it set at. I benched Wayne for Nicks but have since changed it back after reading Laley's posts and then reading some fantasy football blog start/sit list for tonight's game. Your post pretty much cements it. I'm starting Wayne.

  Yeah but maybe check a few minutes before the game in case there is some bizarre last second decision not to play.

  3 - 0 Jags. End of 1st.
• Non

  

  great catch by Dallas Clark for a TD
  
  7-3 Colts
• Non

  

  nice drive by the Jags
  
  power football with Jones-Drew and just enough Garrard
  
  TD catch by Drew
  
  10-7 Jax
• Laley23

  

  Well, looks like Clark is going to be the "target du jour"
• Non

  

  that looked like the Steelers kick coverage
  
  Chad Simpson goes all the way
  
  14-10 Colts
• tk421

  

  17 - 14 Jags. 3 minutes left in 1st half. Jags playing good but I doubt it will continue the whole game.
• Non

  

  Jags back up 17-14
  
  offensive line is firing off the ball and locking onto the smaller Colts guys
  
  Jags should be able to run all night
  
  Colts will have to keep scoring
• Non

  

  I think they'll need Manning to play the entire game so they can keep going back and forth
• killer_ewok

  

  The bad news for me......Reggie Wayne hasn't done squat yet.
  
  The good news for me......Maurice Jones-Drew is one of my RB's.
• ZombieKiller

  Jones-Drew and Dallas Clark are coming up huge for me in fantasy this week. Hopefully Jax continues the scoring. My opponent has the Colts defense.
• tk421

  

  TD Colts. 21 - 17. The Jags can't stop them.
• Non

  

  Collie for TD
  
  21-17 Colts
• Non

  

  Wayne had two catches on that drive for about 40 yards
  
  Colts really haven't had the ball that much
• Non

  

  this is basically like that Miami Monday night game
  
  Jacksonville is mixing it up, being efficient and taking time
  
  then the Colts just score real quick and take the lead lol
