In 12 games this season, Luck is completing 62.9 percent of his passes (a career high) while throwing for 25 touchdowns, 3,381 yards, and 10 interceptions. The quarterback has also ended his day with multiple touchdown passes in eight games.
Fantasy impact: On Sunday, Luck and the Colts will face the Minnesota Vikings and their impressive pass defense.
The Vikings are giving up the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in 2016. In seven of its 13 games, Minnesota has held the position group to under 235 passing yards.
Yahoo still projects Luck to end Sunday with 254 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Combine his matchup with the fact that a few of receivers are currently hobbled by injuries, and fantasy owners may want to think twice before starting Luck this week.
