Wayne not worried about Manning: Colts WR Reggie Wayne spent his offseason shuffling between Miami and New Orleans, but returned to Indy for the game. He'll stick around until Thursday when he heads to Terre Haute for the start of training camp, reports the Indianapolis Star. "Vacation's over," said Wayne, who had a career-best 104 receptions and led the NFL with 1,510 yards last season. Although he steadfastly refused to elaborate on QB Peyton Manning's recent surgery and how it might impact the development of the offense, Wayne conceded it's going to be strange for Manning not to be running the No. 1 offense when practice opens Friday morning. That responsibility will rest with backup Jim Sorgi until Manning is cleared to practice. "He'll be out there," Wayne said of Manning. "He just won't be out there participating. Who knows? It might pick us up a little bit. This is a first for everybody. We don't know what to expect." (Updated 07/21/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Look for Wayne to return as one of the elite Fantasy options in 2008. He will lose some catches because of Marvin Harrison's expected return, and could suffer if Manning isn't 100 percent, but Wayne should be drafted as a No. 1 option somewhere in Round 2 or 3 in all leagues. (Updated 07/21/2008).

Indianapolis receiver Marvin Harrison walked onto the field to cheers Friday, while the Colts opened their first training camp practice since 1998 without quarterback Peyton Manning.
