Fantasy Analysis: This is very positive news for the Colts organization who are looking to supply their No. 1 pick, Andrew Luck, with offensive weapons. With Collie out, Luck was left depending heavily on Reggie Wayne and his tight ends, Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen, with no real second WR option. If Collie does indeed return in time for Week 1, he could see significant action. With the pressure the Bears are set to apply, Collie could find himself open on a lot of underneath routes.
