Reggie Wayne fully expects to play through the duration of his contract, which expires after the 2014 season.
This season, Wayne is aiming to become the 13th receiver to ever record 1,000 yards or more at age 35-plus. It shouldn't be a problem. Although he hasn't topped 12.8 YPC in any of the last four campaigns, Wayne's precise route-running led to 106 catches for 1,355 yards and five touchdowns last year. The apple of Andrew Luck's eye, he tied for second in the entire league with 194 targets. Wayne isn't a sexy pick, but he's on the WR2 radar. May 2 - 11:00 AM

Reggie Wayne hauled in nine passes for 114 yards at Baltimore in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Wayne saw a whopping 18 targets as Andrew Luck's money receiver. Moving past Michael Irvin (87) and Hines Ward (88) into second place behind Jerry Rice (151) on the post-season receptions list, Wayne also sits fifth in receiving yards. It was the third 100-yard playoff game of Wayne's career. Although the 34 year old faded down the stretch while finishing 14th in fantasy points, he's worth drafting as a WR2 again next season.
Jan 6 - 5:12 PM

Reggie Wayne had four catches for 40 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans.

Despite being targeted 12 times, the Texans were able to contain Wayne and limit him from making any big plays downfield. The Colts were forced to go conservative on offense in the second half after getting a 102-yard kick return from Deji Karim and an interception from Vontae Davis. Coming off a down season in 2011, Wayne rebounded with a 106/1,355/5 line this year with Andrew Luck at quarterback. The Colts already secured a Wild Card berth, but are now set to play the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs.

Reggie Wayne said he wants to play in Week 17 even though the Colts are locked into the AFC's No. 5 seed.

What Wayne wants probably won't be what he gets. The Colts coaches have not yet revealed their plans for Sunday's game against the Texans, but it's hard to see their starters playing a full game. The focus will be on preparing for a road game during Wild Card weekend, not preventing the Texans from clinching the No. 1 seed.

Reggie Wayne caught five balls for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' Week 16 win over Kansas City.

He was targeted 12 times, uncharacteristically dropping at least two. Wayne's fantasy performance was still strong coming off last week's 14-yard clunker, and his fourth-quarter touchdown catch proved the game winner. Wayne and the Colts will close out the regular season against the division rival Texans in Week 16.

Reggie Wayne was held to 14 yards on three receptions in the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Texans.

Wayne was essentially a non-factor outside of drawing a couple of first-half pass interference penalties, although it wasn't because Johnathan Joseph shadowed Wayne all over the field, as ESPN reported he would pre-game. The Texans mixed coverages against the Colts, and Wayne simply failed to get open as Houston often had him double teamed or bracketed. Expect Wayne to bounce back in Week 16 at Kansas City. The Chiefs unfailingly "play sides" at cornerback, so Wayne will not be shadowed by LCB Brandon Flowers.

ESPN's Bob Holtzman reported on Sunday Countdown that the Texans will use CB Johnathan Joseph to shadow Reggie Wayne all over the field in Week 15.

In last year's Colts-Texans games, Joseph stuck to LCB and played Pierre Garcon on the majority of the snaps. Wayne went against Kareem Jackson. The Texans will play matchups this time around, sticking their best cornerback on Indy's best receiver. It's worth noting that Joseph has not been a shutdown force this season. Pro Football Focus rates him 52nd among 111 qualifying cornerbacks in all-around play. He's a relatively middling 48th in coverage.

Reggie Wayne caught six passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14, 27-23 win over the Titans.

Wayne was targeted 10 times on the afternoon and caught his touchdown pass from four yards out to get the Colts on the board in the first quarter. Andrew Luck was under constant heat all day long behind a battered Indianapolis offensive line, but he made some plays when the team needed them. It also helped that Jake Locker threw a gift-wrapped pick-six in the third quarter to put the Colts ahead 21-20. The game became a field goal contest after that, with Adam Vinatieri winning out. Wayne and the Colts head to Houston next week.
Sun, Dec 9, 2012 04:33:00 PM

Reggie Wayne was held to four catches for 51 yards in the Colts' Week 13 win over the Lions.

Wayne was extremely quiet as Chris Houston was in his shirt most of the day. Andrew Luck was also really erratic for 3 1/2 quarters and threw 26 passes to T.Y. Hilton and Donnie Avery. Wayne ended up with just nine targets. Still, we'd consider it a mere bump in the road. It's a season-low in both catches and yardage for Wayne. He's on pace for 117 catches, 1,541 yards and four touchdowns heading into a plus matchup with the Titans in Week 14.
Sun, Dec 2, 2012 05:26:00 PM

Reggie Wayne caught eight passes for 102 yards in the Colts' Week 12 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Wayne was targeted a team-high 14 times, drew two defensive pass interference calls, and converted three of his third-down catches into first downs. Wayne was stopped inside the five-yard line twice right before halftime. He now leads the league in receptions with 84 and has quietly put himself in the MVP talks. Wayne is a weekly WR1 and has a date with a banged-up Detroit secondary in Week 13.
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 04:31:00 PM

Reggie Wayne caught seven passes for 72 yards in Indy's Week 11 blowout loss to the Patriots.

Wayne was targeted a staggering 18 times, but was the victim of some tight coverage and erratic throws from rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. The 72 yards put him over 1,000 on the year. He's now surpassed the 1K mark eight times in 12 seasons, and in eight of his past nine campaigns. Wayne is averaging 100.3 yards per game, which would be a new career best by 5.9 yards.
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 07:55:00 PM

Reggie Wayne caught eight passes for 96 yards in Thursday night's Week 10 win over the Jaguars.

Wayne was targeted 11 times on the night and caught six passes on nine targets in the first half, but with the game squarely in hand in the second half, there wasn't much desire to pass the ball. Wayne was the option on Andrew Luck's first five pass attempts and consistently beat Derek Cox and Aaron Ross in coverage. The 34-year-old (next week) is a WR1 for the remainder of the season. Indy travels to New England in 10 days.

Reggie Wayne caught a team-high seven passes for 78 yards and a touchdown versus the Dolphins in Week 9.

Wayne beat Sean Smith for a 9-yard score, passing Edgerrin James for the third-most touchdowns (76) in franchise history. The veteran also surpassed Torry Holt (920) to move into 13th place on the NFL's all-time receptions list. At the midway point, Wayne is on pace for career highs in targets (202), receptions (122), and yards (1678). He faces Jacksonville's injury-depleted secondary in Week 10.
Sun, Nov 4, 2012 05:19:00 PM

Reggie Wayne led the Colts with seven receptions for 91 yards at Tennessee in Week 8.

Wayne's 11 targets were four more than the next-closest receiver. He continues to show sticky hands. Wayne's 20-yard overtime reception on a critical third-down set up Vick Ballard's game-winning touchdown. Leading the NFL in targets and receiving yards, Wayne remains a must-start WR1 versus the Dolphins in Week 9.
Sun, Oct 28, 2012 06:01:00 PM

Reggie Wayne secured six passes for 73 yards in the Colts' Week 7 win over the Browns.

The Browns surprisingly left RCB Sheldon Brown on Wayne's side for most of Sunday's snaps, rather than "shadow" him with top cover corner Joe Haden. Wayne was the only Indianapolis receiver capable of getting open with any hint of consistency in the victory, and turned in another productive PPR game. Through six contests, Wayne has 47 receptions for 666 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Keep him rolling against the Titans in Week 8.
