Colts owner Jim Irsay, though, sees a tough road ahead.

“Clearly we are in a rebuilding stage, there is no sugar-coating the fact that there are areas of talent that we need,” Irsay said earlier this week.

“So the decisions that are coming up are crucial, and obviously, when you’re looking at general manager, head coach, having the number one pick in the draft and knowing that you’re rebuilding in some areas, that is about as massive as it gets. But we are up for the challenge, and I’m excited about the future.”

Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon and Anthony Gonzalez are now free agents. Wayne wants to come back but may price himself too high for the Colts to make a deal. Garcon reportedly wants look around before deciding on whether to come back or not. Gonzalez, meanwhile, found himself on the outside looking in during the last couple of seasons under the Polians’ regime.

The unlikely combination of Curtis Painter and Pierre Garcon has become one of the NFL's top quarterback-receiver tandems and a rare bright spot for the Colts this season.

The two have teamed up for 271 yards and four touchdowns the past two weeks.

Coach Jim Caldwell says Painter will keep the starting job after Kerry Collins recovers. Painter has a 100.0 quarterback rating and hasn't thrown an interception.

Garcon has overcome a history of drops to rank eighth in the NFL with 420 yards receiving. He has been Painter's go-to player instead of the more accomplished Reggie Wayne.

Fantasy Impact:

Since Painter has taken over, Garcon has one more target than Wayne, so it's not a sure bet that he favors Garcon. Still, he and #85 have shown a nice rapport over the last two weeks with four TD hookups.

At today’s press conference, Colts coach Jim Caldwell insisted that all of the team’s problems can be fixed, and he’s going to get to work on fixing them.

“There is no question I believe it’s all correctable,” Caldwell said.

The 34-7 final score of their loss to the Texans really didn’t do justice to how thoroughly the Colts got whipped: It was 34-0 at halftime before the Texans went into cruise control.

Caldwell said he never considered benching Kerry Collins in favor of Curtis Painter.

Fantasy Impact:

We figured the Colt players would have to be downgraded as a result of the loss of Manning. The running game didn't have much of a chance after falling behind early and often. Reggie Wayne finished with 106 yards and a TD and was the most productive fantasy player. Pierre Garcon and Dallas Clark had just 39 yards each and Austin Collie didn't have a catch.

REPORT: Colts WR Austin Collie (concussion) should start ahead of Pierre Garcon when he is healthy. He adds that Garcon's "playing time should diminish" if he keeps being so inconsistent.

Colts WR Anthony Gonzalez Placed on Injured Reserve

The Indianapolis Colts have placed wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

If you had picked up Gonzalez in the wake of injuries to Austin Collie and Dallas Clark, he can be dropped. The talented Gonzalez has been incredibly unlucky when it comes to injuries. Collie is expected to be back this week and will be one of Peyton Manning's primary receivers, along with Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, and Jacob Tamme. Fourth wide receiver Blair White is worth stashing if you've got the roster space, as White would be next in line should another injury strike.

Colt Notes: Garcon, D. Brown

RB Donald Brown (hamstring) — He progressed through the week from DNP to limited to full. The only question is if he will start. Fantasy folks are stuck on that, but I’ve told everyone it won’t matter. Brown and Mike Hart split the work.

WR Pierre Garcon (hamstring) — After a day off, he went full the last two practices. He’s expected to play.

Fantasy Impact:

This game has potential to be a shootout and Garcon could be in store for a big night alongside of Reggie Wayne.

Indianapolis WR Reggie Wayne Questionable for Monday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne (hamstring) was limited in practice on Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Houston Texans. Fellow wide receivers Pierre Garcon (hamstring) and Anthony Gonzalez (ankle) are all questionable as well.

Fantasy Impact:

There's no indication that Wayne will miss Monday's game. Wayne and Garcon should be safe to start. Gonzalez is worth watching as a possible free agent acquisition.

Fantasy Impact:

Look for Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon to make up the difference.
