When asked Wednesday whether he expects Marvin Harrison (knee) to play in Week 13, Peyton Manning answered "I wouldn't count on it."

The Indianapolis Star doesn't expect Harrison to be back in action until the playoffs, and believes that if Marvin is active for any more regular season games, he's likely to be limited in them. It'd be hard to drop Harrison in 12-team leagues, but fantasy owners' expectations should be minimal.

I called this one when he went down.
