Fantasy football GM's across the universe have a huge interest in tonight's Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans game; they likely have players in the game, or they're playing against some of these guys. Two offensively-minded teams that have stars at multiple positions usually means fantasy points. Throw in the Texans abysmal defense, we could be looking at a shoot-out. Of course, when shoot-outs are predicted, we inevitably get a defensive struggle. Nah, tonight points should abound.

Over at Stampede Blue, they predict the stars for tonight's game. On the Indy side, of course they like Peyton Manning, but at receiver they go with Pierre Garcon, reasoning the Texans will spend all their resources covering Reggie Wayne. At running back, they think Mike Hart will have a better game than Donald Brown.
Meanwhile, Battle Red Blog chimes in on the Texans players. They predict Arian Foster will not repeat Week 1's 231-yard, 3 touchdown performance, but will still have a good day with two touchdowns.They also like Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels. That's pretty much the whole offense.
Nobody likes the defenses much in this game, although some IDP players like Dwight Freeney might produce.
Over at PlayThisguy.com, they rank the players this way.
QB - Peyton Manning #1, Matt Schaub #4
