With the Packers not expected to pursue Ryan Grant in the offseason, James Starks is poised to take over as Green Bay’s featured back next season.

As fantasy leagues head into the playoffs, Jason Smith looks at garbage points — those points that come late in lopsided games — and how useful they can be in the pursuit of a fantasy championship.

In the final week of the fantasy regular season, a faux pas can mean the end of your year. We highlight some of the best from Week 13 in the Fantasy Faux Pas blog.

One of the worst things that can happen to you in fantasy football is hope. That glimmer of hope that makes you believe that your team can pull off the impossible. And trailing my buddy Scotty J. by 51 points after his team (with Wes Welker and Beanie Wells) went nuts, I had resigned myself to the loss despite having LeGarrette Blount and Pierre Garcon going on Monday.

Peyton Manning has gone from fantasy superstar to being almost undraftable in just a few short weeks.

Mount Union had its pro day on March 16, and the school has been in the news in recent years after Pierre Garcon made the leap from the Division III school to the Colts. The Browns were the only one team in attendance to watch Cecil Shorts who worked out outdoors on field turf. The turf was slick from rain, and it was drizzling during the workout.

The Colts will be without WR Austin Collie and RB Joseph Addai vs. the Titans on Thursday, team owner Jim Irsay said via his Twitter account.

It’s been interesting to watch just how much things have changed for the Colts over the course of the season, because we’ve witnessed a progression in how the greatness of Peyton Manning can overshadow other issues on his team.

Some of you know this drill already. If there is a wide receiver or tight end from the Colts available in your fantasy league, go ahead and add him now.

The Colts have already ruled out WR Austin Collie for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. The team currently has three receivers on the depth chart — Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon and rookie Blair White.

Colts WR Austin Collie is expected to recover from his concussion, and his status for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals is in question. But what is not in question is that you need to make sure that you have WR Blair White and pretty much every Colts player on the roster. Maybe even RB Javarris James, too.

The Colts could save a lot of time and effort if they just listed every notable player on their team as questionable or worse. The Colts injury report looks like the VIP list for St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis — WRs Austin Collie (hand), Anthony Gonzalez (knee), Mike Hart (ankle) and Joseph Addai (neck) are all questionable or worse.

Colts WR Pierre Garcon is active for Monday night’s game against the Texans, and should see plenty of action. WR Anthony Gonzalez returns to the lineup for the first time since Week 1. Texans TE Owen Daniels is active.

Colts WR Pierre Garcon missed practice on Thursday, but he should be active for owners on Monday night.

Jacob Tamme of the Colts could have a big fantasy week against the Texans, one of the worst teams defending against the tight end.
