Analysis: Collie dealt with concussion issues two years ago, and last season was overshadowed by Pierre Garcon. This year, though, he could battle for the No. 1 receiver spot. Reggie Wayne is slowing down, and someone will have to step up for Luck.
The rookie quarterback hooked up with Collie for a beautiful 23-yard touchdown in the second quarter against the Rams. Collie was targeted five times while Wayne left the stat sheet blank. As long as Collie can stay healthy he will be a viable starter for your fantasy team. He's the favorite here among an extremely young group of receivers.
