Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT suggests, it sounds like the Colts will hold out hope that Manning can return this season, but the landscape of the AFC South has clearly changed in the meantime. It’s up to Kerry Collins to try to keep the Colts afloat so that Manning could actually make a difference if and when he returns. But from a Fantasy perspective, the doesn't really change anything other than the timeframe. As mentioned previously, if you haven't already figured out a long-term plan to replace Manning, it's time to get busy.
