Off your waiver wire if you could use a decent TE this week.

Well, Coachnorm, that report is either not completely up-to-date or just a little off. Here is what's being reported in the local daily covering the team available on "the Gridiron Newsstand (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/newsstand.htm)":

Colts lose Pollard for two games
The Indianapolis Colts will be without Marcus Pollard for at least the next two games.

Here is a link to the whole piece:

Even if this weren't the case, but especially in light of this AND Harrison's almost definitely being out, I think Clark is a fantastic pick-up and play this week. Against the Jets, this could definitely be his rookie breakout game. Less competition for passes and yet the guy, who of their receiving options, probably flies under the radar the most!
