Andrew Luck injury: Probable status makes him fantasy viable in Week 8
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is probable for today’s game. We breakdown the fantasy implications.
Brian Spurlock-US PRESSWIRE
Luck has been the team’s savior, showing great promise in his first year with the team. The 2012 No. 1 overall pick has not missed any time since his inception into the league.
Fantasy Analysis: Luck is panning out to be a better option than most expected him to be in his first year. While rookie QB’s are not usually a viable option in fantasy, Luck has been statistically better than a lot of veteran quarterbacks. If your quarterback is on a bye week or you like the Colts’ match-up, feel free to start him.
Luck is going to sling the ball 30-plus times a week, and is already no stranger to 300-yard games. Consider Luck a viable match-up play today versus a suspect Tennessee team.
