Reggie Wayne to start 100th straight game tonight
Colts receiver Reggie Wayne will make his 100th consecutive start tonight when the Colts play the Cardinals.
"That's my job," Wayne said, per Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star. "That's what they pay me to do, be on the field and ready. I take pride in it. I think everybody in this locker room should take pride in playing the game, seeing how many they can play in a row."
Wayne's streak of 99 straight starts is 55 more than the next closest receiver -- Buffalo's Lee Evans.
"I ain't been 100 percent since my rookie year when I came in on (owner Jim) Irsay's helicopter," Wayne said. "If I can go, I go. There's been hundreds of times when I'm still hurting from the week before, but that's part of it.
"You've got to be able to push through those nicks and pains. I really want to be out there. That's the only way I can make things happen. I feel like if I'm out there, my team can trust in me."
Wayne, who was the Colts' first-round pick in 2001, is currently fifth in the league in receiving yards (199) and tied for ninth in receptions (13) through two games.
In our consensus/average fantasy rankings, Wayne is #2 in our top 50 wide receivers for week 3.
