Under Bruce Arians, the Colts were an aggressive, down-the-field passing bunch. He frequently stressed the importance of picking up yards “in chunks.’’ QB Andrew Luck averaged 12.9 yards per attempt, one of the top averages in the league.

New OC Pep Hamilton ran a the West Coast offense at Stanford, which revolves around a shorter, more efficient passing game as well as a power running attack.

“It’ll be a variation of the West Coast (with) West Coast principles,’’ Hamilton said. “The short, efficient passing game, a high completion rate.

“But I enjoy watching our guys just come off the ball, the guys up front, and trying to knock the opponent back. I’m a big believer of the power-running game and . . . I think that ultimately opens up your passing game, the play-action passes.’’

Report: Pep Hamilton will be Colts' new OC

SI - [Full Article]

The Indianapolis Colts have their new offensive coordinator, and it's someone Andrew Luck already knows.

A person familiar with the decision said Stanford offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton has accepted the same position with the Indianapolis Colts, where he will be reunited with Luck.

Fantasy Impact:

Luck no doubt has a high level of comfort with Hamilton, so we expect him to progress as one of the league's best young quarterbacks.

Running and time of possession weren’t a problem for the Colts Sunday. The rookie, Vick Ballard, acquitted himself extraordinarily well. The organization seems to have found a workhorse; he’s averaged 21 carries per game the last five games.

Colts say Bruce Arians is in the hospital and will not call today's game.

Fantasy Impact:

He apparently has flu-like symptoms. Obviously, this negatively impacts the Colts' chances of moving the ball effectively on offense, though the team has responded well to adversity all season.

Texans HC Gary Kubiak said Arian Foster is fine. He is expected to play this weekend.

Fantasy Impact:

Foster was pulled for precautionary reasons last week after an irregular heartbeat popped up in-game. The Texans face the Colts Sunday, who Arian Foster gashed for 165 rushing yards on 27 carries two weeks ago.

Texans RB Arian Foster is fine and has been cleared. Took normal amount of reps.

Fantasy Impact:

It appears that Foster will play in a crucial Week 17 matchup with the Colts. Indianapolis was torched by Jamaal Charles last week.

Colts WR Reggie Wayne saw no reason to delay the debate concerning resting players.

"We're too young to rest," the veteran receiver said. "We probably need to put everybody out there and have them continue to play. I don't think we can afford (to rest).

"I can't speak for everybody, but I'm built to play."

Fantasy Impact:

While Wayne is set to play, that may not be what the team decides. The Colts are locked into the number-five seed in the AFC so there's a pretty good chance someone like Wayne may not see a full work day. We should know more as the week goes on.
