The Facts:
Collie isn't letting his concussion-marred 2010 season deter him going forward. "I think I have kind of put that behind me. I don't like to dwell on it too much just because it can affect your play going across the middle and catching another ball," Collie told KHTK in Sacramento. "I was unlucky, but I'm just looking forward to this next season and getting on with it."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Collie, who doesn't believe he's now more any prone to head injuries than he was before, missed seven entire games and parts of others in 2010 while suffering two concussions in a seven-week span. When he was on the field, he was emerging as one of Peyton Manning's favorite targets with 58 catches, 649 yards and eight TDs in virtually half a season. Indianapolis would be thrilled to trot out Collie and oft-injured Anthony Gonzalez along with WRs Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon. Collie revealed that Gonzalez, who has missed 29 games over the past two years, sounds ready to go. "He feels great. Anthony is a wonderful player when he is healthy," said Collie. "He's explosive, and we're hoping to have a healthy year from him. ..." Good news. But we'll go ahead and suggest at this point that Manning -- and Fantasy Football owners -- are more interested in Collie.
