Colts QB Andrew Luck's "dress rehearsal" game went about as well as hoped against the Redskins. Playing the first half and one drive in the 3rd quarter, Luck finished 14 of 23 with 151 yards and a touchdown, good for a 94.7 QB Rating. He was replaced in the 3rd by Chandler Harnish.
Andrew Luck Poised, Steady Against Redskins: Fantasy Implications
Andrew Luck got some extended play time against the Redskins, and looked as good as ever. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: It was a mostly safe, dink-and-dunk day for the No. 1 overall pick, averaging a meager 6.6 yards per attempt with a steady diet of bubble screens and underneath routes. He also wasn't helped out by a dismal running attack (24 yards on 16 attempts). That said, when he did stretch the field he showed off his impressive arm strength and accuracy, connecting with T.Y. Hilton on a beautiful 31-yard strike for his TD pass. He also displayed solid pocket presence and read progression. After 3 preseason games, Luck still doesn't look like a rookie and fantasy owners should be comfortable with him as their QB2.
