Some very bad news is coming out of Indy today concerning Fantasy Football staple Dallas Clark. He has a wrist/hand injury. Full details of the injury have not been disclosed, but multiple sources are reporting that he is out indefinitely and suggesting that he could be done for the season.

Earlier Wednesday morning, IndyStar reported that the Colts have re-signed Gijon Robinson who was on the Colts roster earlier this year before being waived. However, there could be another roster move coming since the Robinson move was actually in response to the loss of a safety to season ending injury.

Fantasy Outlook:
Clark isn't exactly easy to replace, so we aren't expecting any of the Colts TE to fill his shoes. Instead, there is bound to be more targets to share for the Colts wideouts. Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon spend more time as deep threats, we really like Austin Collie to pick up more of the slack.

As for you Clark owners, this move hurts, especially in a PPR. Clark is currently the 6th ranked TE. The good news is there is still depth at TE, so you will see a dropoff, but you may still find a couple top 10 TE available such as Benjamin Watson, Brandon Pettigrew, or possibly even Marcedes Lewis. (Yes everyone we just named currently ranks top 10 in TE scoring, Lewis has actually outscored Clark)

Updated: Scratch that Austin Collie bit. He just had hand surgery and will miss at least the next few weeks.
