Mathis makes presence felt: Indianapolis DL Robert Mathis overcame any issues he had with his knee on Thursday night against Houston as he got to T.J. Yates a few times in the contest. Mathis recorded three solo tackles, two being sacks. He also caused a fumble after one of his sacks on Yates and fell on top of the ball. The Colts would win the game, 19-16. (Updated 12/23/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Mathis is turning in another solid year with the Colts, but he's had some ups and downs. He currently has 41 tackles and 8.5 sacks through 15 games. Fantasy owners should continue to view him as a viable option in deeper IDP formats. (Updated 12/23/2011).
02/09/2012 05:41 Top 50 free agents: Former top pick Williams is top player on open market
The offseason is officially here and it's time to rebuild. Which free agents will command the most attention? Pete Prisco offers his top 50 and says don't look for any players over 30 or running backs near the top.
Robert Mathis, not Dwight Freeney, was the better Fantasy option on the Colts last season. Mathis had 60 total tackles, 11 sacks, one pass defense and a forced fumble in 16 games. That was enough to make him a No. 1 Fantasy DL. Owners shouldn't expect him to put up huge tackle totals again, but it's clear that Mathis is a force against quarterbacks, perhaps more so than Freeney. Good defensive linemen are tough to come by in Fantasy, but Mathis should be reliable as at least a No. 2 option in 2011. Expect him to go with a middle- to late-round pick. (Updated 5/2/11)
