Pros: Garcon was the Colts' strongest deep threat last year; the 23-year-old wideout averaged 16.3 yards per reception on his way to final totals of 47 receptions, 765 receiving yards and three scores. He is battling to be the No. 2 receiver in one of the AFC's top offenses, and he has one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history tossing him the ball.

Cons: Garcon's shot at a job came largely because of Anthony Gonzalez's knee injury; Indianapolis plans on giving A-Gon a shot to get his old job back. Garcon is at best third in the pecking order and has yet to secure the No. 2 job. Indy spreads the ball around and could rely more on the running game with a healthy Donald Brown.

Fantasy tip: If you want Garcon, you'll have to take him around the turn from the fifth to sixth rounds. That's too high of a price for our liking. There's talent here, but too much uncertainty surrounding him that you can't rely on him as your second wideout. He's much better off as a low-end No. 3 or, ideally, a fourth wideout with considerable upside.
