In a Q&A with readers, Indianapolis Star Colts beat writer Mike Chappell suggests that Anthony Gonzalez is ahead of Austin Collie on the depth chart for the slot receiver job. Furthermore, he wrote that Gonzalez , and that Gonzalez "said he's been assured by the coaching staff that he'll be given an opportunity to compete with Garcon for the No. 2 spot alongside Wayne." Chappell's hunch is that Collie won't see as much playing time as he did last season. Gonzalez is working his way back from a knee injury that knocked him out of all but part of one game last season. Gonzalez is also dealing with a hamstring injury suffered earlier this spring.
Analysis: We loved Collie last season and believed that he would be a part of the future with the Colts. He still might be, but with so many other quality receivers on the team there is the chance that he doesn't get the time on the field that he had last season. We see Collie as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy WR at this point, though that will ultimately hinge on how the Colts' receivers shake out in 2010.
