Week 17 at Jacksonville
The Colts have all said they are playing to win in Week 17, even if it is a meaningless game, as they are already eliminated from playoff contention. That makes Luck a top-5 QB option once again in Week 17. Luck has 11 total touchdowns to four interceptions in his last four games, making him a solid option against the Jaguars on the road.
Week 16 at Oakland
You aren't benching Andrew Luck in your fantasy championship after he put up 250 yards and two touchdowns last week at Minnesota. This week, he's at Oakland, a team that hasn't allowed a 300-yard passer since Week 5. However, Luck should still post top-5 fantasy numbers at the position in Week 16.
Week 15 at Minnesota
The Vikings have only allowed multiple touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks four times this season (and never more than two touchdowns in those games). That is what Luck is up against in Week 15. Minnesota is top-5 in points allowed to quarterbacks, which may put Luck on your bench if you have a better option in the fantasy playoffs (see Derek Carr, Tyrod Taylor, Dak Prescott, and maybe even Phillip Rivers). Oh by the way, Luck will play behind his 36th different offensive line combination on Sunday. Yikes. Consider him a low-end QB1 with a floor even lower than that.
Week 14 vs. Houston
The Colts have the largest implied total in Week 14, as home favorites against the Texans. That makes Luck's prospects even more juicy coming off four touchdowns against the Jets. All of this makes Luck our #1 ranked QB for Week 14. Start at will in the fantasy postseason, after Luck scored 23 standard league points against Houston earlier this season.
Week 13 at New York Jets
Andrew Luck is reportedly expected to return Monday night against the Jets after missing Thanksgiving with a concussion. If so, it's a middle of the road match-up against the Jets, who are 16th in our adjusted strength of schedule against quarterbacks. Luck threw only one touchdown and three interceptions against the Jets last season, but this secondary is not nearly as good in 2016. Consider Luck a top-10 QB still in Week 13.
Week 12 vs. Pittsburgh
Andrew Luck is in the concussion protocol. Given only one player this season, Davante Adams, has been cleared to play on a Thursday night, Luck is extremely unlikely to play. If he somehow plays though, you start him.
Week 11 vs. Tennessee
The Colts come off a bye to face the Titans, a team Andrew Luck has averaged 258 yards per game and 2-plus touchdowns against, including a 353-yard, three touchdown game versus Tennessee earlier this year. With the game expected to be high-scoring, Luck is locked in as a top-three QB option in Week 11.
Week 9 at Green Bay
Andrew Luck is locked in as a top-5 QB play each week, and Week 9 is no different. At Green Bay, Luck and the Colts will likely have to pass a lot to stay in the game against Aaron Rodgers, who will face a Colts defense that has been poor against the pass. 20-plus points are well within reach once again for Luck.
Week 8 at Kansas City
Luck goes on the road this week to face a Chiefs defense that gave up 300 yards and five touchdowns to Ben Roethlisberger, and 367 yards and three touchdowns last week to Drew Brees (both games were at home). You have to start Luck this week, as he continues his top-5 play at the QB position.
Week 7 at Tennessee
Luck is averaging more than 20 points per week, with back-to-back 20-point weeks. However, the Titans have only allowed one QB this season to reach that benchmark. Matthew Stafford only scored 15.5 points, and Derek Carr only made it to 11.9 points. The Titans are top-10 against quarterbacks in fantasy points allowed. You are starting Luck each week, but don't be surprised if he doesn't crack the top-5 this week considering the above and the great ball control the Titans offense has shown this season.
