Injury Spin Cycle: Concussion May Have Ended Austin Collie's Season

Filed under: NFL Injury Report

Austin Collie was well on his way to posting a huge fantasy line in Week 15 for his championship-bound owners before leaving the game having suffered his third concussion in less than two months.

It was yet another brutal hit on the second-year wide-out, one which left him motionless on the ground for a few minutes. Collie was helped off the field and did not return, and now early speculation is that his season may be over. I think that's probably for the best.

Collie was on his way to posting another WR2-worthy season, having caught eight touchdowns in just nine games. Now it seems like Blair White will return to the slot for the Colts, with Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon and Jacob Tamme seeing a slight increase in targets from Peyton Manning.

It's tough to recommend White (30 receptions, four touchdowns) in Week 16, especially since it's more than likely a championship matchup for most fantasy leagues, but you can certainly do worse than White as deep flex play.
