Fantasy Football: Replacing Colts’ Dallas Clark, Austin Collie, and Joe Addai
It goes without saying that losing tight end Dallas Clark indefinitely to a wrist injury is a major blow to the Indianapolis Colts offense—but it’s about to get a lot worse as reports now flooding in that running back Joseph Addai and Austin Collie will miss at least a few weeks with their own injuries.
Fortunately, the bye week couldn’t come at a better time for the Colts.
“We’ve been bitten badly by the injury bug,” said Colts President Bill Polian “Those things happen from time to time. We haven’t had a rash, such as we’re facing now, in quite a while. Hopefully, we’ve got good enough depth to fight our way through it.
While they’ll be without their studs for a few weeks, at least Peyton Manning and this offense will have a chance to get acquainted with one another without being rushed into a game. As we all know, Peyton Manning has made nobodies into somebodies in this offense and that could very well continue.
The Colts return to action in Week 8 when they face the Houston Texans—a team that beat them in Week 1, but have been very susceptible to opposing passing games all season. This will be the first chance for us to see the revamped Indianapolis offense and could tell us a lot about what will happen down the road for this team as they try to make a return to the Super Bowl.
