Andrew Luck - Week 17 vs. Tennessee Titans
Andrew Luck was a huge letdown last week. The Colts were down big early, and Luck was eventually pulled from the game in the third quarter. He finished with a season low 22 pass attempts for a season low 109 yards and a season low 0 touchdowns. He also had two interceptions.
Luck has actually struggled over the past few weeks. He's thrown six interceptions in his last four games and has failed to reach 200 yards in two consecutive weeks. His fortunes don't look too bright for Week 17, either.
Chuck Pagano says the Colts won't rest their starters this week, but he likely won't push them to the limit, either. The Colts have nothing to play for against the Titans. Actually, Tennessee hasn't been too favorable to quarterbacks this season. The Titans have only allowed multiple passing scores in three games.
Luck will likely be asked to do a lot less this week, and that's why he's not a great option.
Andrew Luck - Week 16 vs. Dallas
Andrew Luck had one of his poorer performances of the season last week. He threw for just 187 yards (second lowest of the season) and finished with two touchdowns and one interception. Fantasy owners had relied on his stellar play all season and he gave him his worst performance in the first round of the fantasy playoffs.
If your team was able to get past Luck's poor efforts and last another week, then don't stop starting him now. Luck has the ability to easily be the top scoring quarterback every week. Especially when he has a good matchup like he does this week against Dallas. Start him with confidence.
Andrew Luck - Week 15 vs. Houston Texans
Andrew Luck has slowed down his incredible pace in recent weeks. He's still been amazing, he just hasn't been as amazing as he was earlier in the year. He's turned the ball over seven times in his last three games and has failed to reach 300 yards in two of those games. Still, he's scored eight touchdowns in the last two weeks so he's not hurting for points.
He doesn't get a dream matchup this week against Houston, but it's definitely not a bad one. The last time Luck faced Houston he threw for 370 yards and three touchdowns as T.Y. Hilton torched the Texans' secondary.
Luck has gotten your team this far into the fantasy season so don't think about sitting him now. He's a must-start QB1 option.
Andrew Luck - Week 14 vs. Cleveland Browns
Andrew Luck didn't play well in Week 12, but he made up for it with his Week 13 performance. He threw a career high five touchdowns while throwing for 370 yards. The weird part? He did all of that while having just 27 pass attempts, his lowest total since Week 1 of last season.
He'll likely have more pass attempts this week, but expect lower numbers. He's facing a fairly tough Browns defense. Cleveland has allowed an average of just 205 yards over the last five games.
While Luck may not produce the type of numbers he did last week, he's still one of the best options at his position. He's a must-start QB1.
Andrew Luck - Week 13 vs. Washington
Andrew Luck finally had a letdown performance last week. He finished with 253 yards and just one touchdown. It's the first time he's finished with just a single touchdown in a game this season. He did, however, add 49 rushing yards (season high) to his total.
He should be able to get back on track this week against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins have allowed the third most points to opposing QBs this season. A quarterback has thrown at least one touchdown in every game against them.
Luck should be back to putting up elite numbers. He's a no-brainer QB1 start.
Andrew Luck - Week 12 vs. Jacksonville
If you own Andrew Luck you know how good he is. He's had 300 yards in every game but one this season. He’s scored at least three touchdowns in seven games this season and has multiple touchdowns in every game. He hasn’t had a bad game all year long.
Don’t expect him to slow down, either. Luck gets to face the Jaguars for the second time this season. What happened the first time? He threw for 370 yards and four touchdowns. The Jags have been a bit tougher on QBs lately, but it’s unlikely they slow down Luck.
If you own Luck you’d be a fool to bench him. He’s a must-start, obvious QB1.
Andrew Luck - Week 11 vs. New England
Andrew Luck had a week to rest himself and let the rest of the NFL catch up to his amazing passing statistics. Even after his bye week he still leads the league in passing yards and pass attempts. Only Peyton Manning has more touchdowns this season.
Luck faces New England this week, which isn't a bad thing. Despite New England's talented defense, they haven't been extraordinarily stingy against opposing QBs. The Pats have been middle of the pack so far.
Luck will obviously remain a strong QB1 play this week.
Andrew Luck - Week 9 vs. New York Giants
We're at the midway point of the fantasy season and Andrew Luck has been the unquestioned fantasy MVP. He's been in the top 10 at his position every single week. His worst performance was a 172-yard game, but he still scored three times that week.
He'll face a Giants team this week coming off of a bye. The Giants have allowed some big performances this year, including two 300-yard games to Matthew Stafford and Matt Ryan (maybe it's a Matt thing?).
There's no reason to doubt Luck at this point because he's been a solid option all year long. He should be viewed as a top-tier QB1.
Andrew Luck - Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh
Andrew Luck has 24 more pass attempts than any other QB, he has more completions, he has 253 more passing yards than anyone else, he's tied for the most touchdowns, and he's the leading fantasy scorer. The Colts QB hasn't had a bad game all season and he's easily been the fantasy MVP.
He'll got a fairly tough matchup this week against Pittsburgh, but Luck has proven to be matchup proof. He has 300 yards in every game but one this season. He has a chance to reach that mark again this week against the Steelers. He should be viewed as a high-end QB1.
Andrew Luck - Week 7 vs. Cincinnati
Andrew Luck is a strong candidate for fantasy MVP this season. He has at least 310 yards in all but one game and has at least three touchdowns in all but one game. His worst performance this season made him the eighth highest scoring quarterback for that week.
He'll get a favorable matchup against Cincinnati this week and should continue his strong dominance. The Colts aren't shying away from Luck's arm as he has the most pass attempts in the league (even more than Tom Brady who has played an extra game).
Luck should continue to be used as a QB1.
