Luck, playing significantly more time than he did in the first game of the preseason, looked very solid and comfortable. He is clearly in charge of the offense, and feels confident with all three of his top receivers in Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
In Week 1, Luck completed 4 of 6 passes for 51 yards and no touchdowns, but also no interceptions. He has yet to throw an interception this preseason. It’s likely he’ll get another good look next week as well.
Fantasy Impact: Luck had a strong rookie season, but there’s always room for improvement. By all accounts, he looks better and has a better command of the offense in his second year. Luck isn’t the top option for quarterbacks to fantasy owners, but every time he plays well, even in the preseason, he’s increasing his value and should be a solid secondary option for most leagues.
