I'm so conflicted. I am happy he wont play. But he was going to get me a ton of fantasy points...

I am always happy to lose a fantasy game in exchange for a real Colts win.... (and I have Fuller on nearly every team, he replaced Moncrief).

Hate to see him injury. But it should mean we can cover them. I would have really like to beat them at full strength but it's the NFL injuries r part of it.  Keep in mind we made a 4th string wr look like an all products last week. Got high hopes for the defense in this game goes Colts

Funny how Fuller has already struck fear in opposing defenses in his 1st year, and then we have Dorsett who was rated as a better WR coming out of the draft, yet Indy hasn't been using him nearly enough or put in him situations to best utilize his skill set. 

 

That's coaching for ya.

Yeah Houston featured him right away in their offense. Dorsett was buried on the depth chart his rookie season, not sure what the excuse is now though, they definitely need to get him more involved.

Osweiller (7 INT's so far) like Luck is getting no protection. Fuller not playing is big. Clowney gets better with        every game but still not much in the sack dept. Texans Secondary is much like the Colts. Pretty much an even match. Luck is our bonus over Osweiller.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports there is a better chance Will Fuller plays Sunday night against the Colts than not.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning Fuller is not expected to play, but Glazer said he is "doing much better now." Glazer did say he could be limited if he plays. This is obviously a nightmare scenario for fantasy owners with Fuller playing on Sunday night. It is tempting to take the risk in a great matchup, but the safe play is to sit Fuller for a reasonable option during the afternoon slate.

Well, there's Dorsett fast, and there is Will Fuller fast. 

 

Dorsett is not Will Fuller fast. 

 

And I don't know where Dorsett was rated as a better WR.  Fuller had a much more productive college career at the WR position.

 

Fuller had 15 receiving touchdowns in '14 and 14 receiving touchdowns in '15.  I would trade Dorsett for Fuller every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

And watch our coaching staff still not allow Vontae to shadow Hopkins. But this is huge news 

Thanks for this post. I had Fuller starting on fantasy team. I picked up Kenny Britt and he went off for 30pts.

Gotta hate those nfl all products wide receiver.

 

All he does is try to sell stuff to the other team the whole game.  Be it video games or Tv's.  That guy is all products.

Dorsett is faster than Fuller. 4.27>4.32

 

Speed isn't everything.  And there's a difference between running in shorts speed and football speed.

 

Fuller has 2 NFL TD receptions in 5 games.

 

Dorsett has 2 NFL TD receptions in his career thus far.

    • that’s simplifying something that is far from being simple…    if no one is putting pressure up front, professional receivers are going to get open regardless of the coverage… and the top qb’s are going to pick it apart. 
    • we risk losing Paye and company in the next year or two… Right? 
    • Thats easy. Having great coverage. If noone is open the rush will get there.    Or, I wish we blitzed more like Spaignola does as QB's are considerably less accurate under duress.    The best offenses have QB's that get rid of the ball quickly which negates to a degree the pass rush.  Scholars here are buzzing madly about pressures. Joey Bosa had a crazy number of pressures but how many resulted in incompletions? He had 2 more sacks than Kwity and played roughly 175 more snaps.  Detroit's Hutchinson, in their playoff loss, had no pressures, no sacks, and 1 tackle as I recall. And a heckuva player. Truth is you better have really good ability at both, including highly intelligent fast players in the back seven.
    • Any news on the attempted talks with Blackmon?   Worst case scenario:  we don't sign Blackmon, or any other safety FA, miss out on what few guys there are in this very non-deep safety draft, and wind up going into the season with Cross and Thomas as our best two guys.  Ewwww.
    • My follow up is about what you think is the most cost-efficient way to acquire the needed players to make the defense work as designed.    As to your point about risk, I guess... If you think specific DE prospects just aren't that good, that's one thing. I'm definitely against propping up a prospect just because he plays a position of perceived need. But I would think that if the Colts take a DE at #15, they see him as a potential game changing pass rusher, and the expectation is for him to exceed what the guys on the roster have shown so far. No one can know for sure, but that's the nature of the draft.   At corner, I just think that a fundamental reason why the Colts prefer their zone heavy scheme is because it's easier to find corners who can excel at zone coverage. So there's less of a premium on the position in this scheme, and that's by design. I also don't think the top 4-5 corners in this class fit Ballard's preferred profile. (Side point: This is not conventional thinking, but I think the order of importance in this defense is 3T, Edge, Will, FS, then CB. I think the objective is to take away big plays, funnel routes to the middle, and have rangy playmakers at Will and FS who can create turnovers. I'm not saying that's how I would build a defense, but I think that's the intention. Which also influences my thinking on Ballard's preferences in the draft.)    The scheme element doesn't necessarily apply at WR, but I think the value at WR favors taking one on Day 2, and I think Ballard's appetite for second round WRs is well established. I'd be open to drafting a WR at #15, but I don't think the Colts will do it.   So if I was an oddsmaker, I'd favor the Colts going DE or DT at #15, just based on how I think the top of the draft will fall, and the players available. I think most fans prefer corner or WR, mostly because of perceived need, but I don't see that happening. Nothing would shock me, though.
