Reggie Wayne WR IND
16 Days Indianapolis Colts Comment

Reggie Wayne fully expects to play through the duration of his contract, which expires after the 2014 season.

This season, Wayne is aiming to become the 13th receiver to ever record 1,000 yards or more at age 35 or older. It shouldn't be a problem. Although he hasn't topped 12.8 YPC in any of the last four campaigns, Wayne's precise route-running led to a 106 catches for 1,355 yards and five touchdowns last year. The apple of Andrew Luck's eye, he tied for second in the entire league with 194 targets. Wayne isn't a sexy pick, but he's on the WR2 radar.

Reggie Wayne hauled in nine passes for 114 yards at Baltimore in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Wayne saw a whopping 18 targets as Andrew Luck's money receiver. Moving past Michael Irvin (87) and Hines Ward (88) into second place behind Jerry Rice (151) on the post-season receptions list, Wayne also sits fifth in receiving yards. It was the third 100-yard playoff game of Wayne's career. Although the 34 year old faded down the stretch while finishing 14th in fantasy points, he's worth drafting as a WR2 again next season.

Reggie Wayne was held to four catches for 40 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans.

Despite being targeted 12 times, the Texans were able to contain Wayne and limit him from making any big plays downfield. The Colts' offense was forced to go conservative in the second half after getting a 102-yard kick return from Deji Karim and two interceptions from Vontae Davis. Coming off a down season in 2011, Wayne rebounded with a 106/1,355/5 line this year with Andrew Luck at quarterback. The Colts already secured a Wild Card birth, but are now set to play the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs.

Reggie Wayne said he wants to play in Week 17 even though the Colts are locked into the AFC's No. 5 seed.

What Wayne wants probably won't be what he gets. The Colts coaches have not yet revealed their plans for Sunday's game against the Texans, but it's hard to see their starters playing a full game. The focus will be on preparing for a road game during Wild Card weekend, not preventing the Texans from clinching the No. 1 seed.

Reggie Wayne caught five balls for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' Week 16 win over Kansas City.

He was targeted 12 times, uncharacteristically dropping at least two. Wayne's fantasy performance was still strong coming off last week's 14-yard clunker, and his fourth-quarter touchdown catch proved the game winner. Wayne and the Colts will close out the regular season against the division rival Texans in Week 16.

Reggie Wayne was held to 14 yards on three receptions in the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Texans.

Wayne was essentially a non-factor outside of drawing a couple of first-half pass interference penalties, although it wasn't because Johnathan Joseph shadowed Wayne all over the field, as ESPN reported he would pre-game. The Texans mixed coverages against the Colts, and Wayne simply failed to get open as Houston often had him double teamed or bracketed. Expect Wayne to bounce back in Week 16 at Kansas City. The Chiefs unfailingly "play sides" at cornerback, so Wayne will not be shadowed by LCB Brandon Flowers.

ESPN's Bob Holtzman reported on Sunday Countdown that the Texans will use CB Johnathan Joseph to shadow Reggie Wayne all over the field in Week 15.

In last year's Colts-Texans games, Joseph stuck to LCB and played Pierre Garcon on the majority of the snaps. Wayne went against Kareem Jackson. The Texans will play matchups this time around, sticking their best cornerback on Indy's best receiver. It's worth noting that Joseph has not been a shutdown force this season. Pro Football Focus rates him 52nd among 111 qualifying cornerbacks in all-around play. He's a relatively middling 48th in coverage.
