Fantasy Preview: the Indianapolis Colts

The premise is simple: I'll tell you what players you can confidently start the season with, and what players should cause your stomach to wobble if you have to start them.

The time has come to write about the greatest fantasy football juggernaut in the NFL today. It's quite possible that the '00s Colts have been the greatest overall fantasy juggernaut in fantasy football history.

Peyton Manning (QB): The best fantasy QB: Manning's played 9 seasons and NEVER thrown for fewer than 3,700 yards or 26 TDs.

Marvin Harrison (WR): The most dependable fantasy WR: in the last eight seasons, Harrison's always had at least 1,100 yards and 10 TDs.

Reggie Wayne (WR): Based on his last three seasons, you can wonder if Wayne is catching Harrison as the Colts' #1 WR.

Dallas Clark (TE): I feel like Clark is just ready to burst as a dominant TE in the Colts' offense.

Joseph Addai (RB): With feature back carries, it's possible Addai will start doing what Edgerrin James used to do.

Adam Viniateri (K): I don't care about Viniateri; you always want a kicker on a dominating offense like this.

Here's a basic fantasy football rule: draft Colts.
