Fantasy football projections, Week 8: Colts-Steelers featuring Andrew Luck, T.Y. Hilton and Antonio Brown

The Week 8 matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers should feature its share of star fantasy performances. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

Wide receiver Reggie Wayne (elbow) has already been ruled out for Week 8. That could mean a monster fantasy day for his teammate T.Y. Hilton. Even with all receivers in the Colts' lineup healthy, Hilton is the team's best deep threat. After getting off to a slow start, Hilton has amassed 520 receiving yards over the last four games. Although he only has one touchdown on the year, he will be a good bet to get his second one against a Steelers defense that has dealt with a lot of injuries this season.

Of course Hilton's statistics on Sunday will probably be directly proportional to the output of quarterback Andrew Luck, who continues to throw the ball a lot and as a result put up gaudy yardage totals. He's been held under 300 yards passing in a game just once this season and that was way back in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Although he has thrown four interceptions over the last four games, the turnovers aren't anything to be too worried about considering how often Luck throws the ball. Fantasy owners are going to be happy with his production in Week 8 without a doubt.

Antonio Brown saw a game-high 13 targets in last week's win over the Houston Texans. He caught nine of those for 90 yards receiving and is the most reliable weapon in the Steelers offensive attack. Per round will be counted on happily to try and help his team keep pace with the Colts on Sunday, so even though Indianapolis gives up the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers of any team in the league, Brown is likely in for a busy afternoon.

When he and the rest of the Steelers passing game needs a break, running back Le'Veon Bell will take care of everything on the ground. He doesn't seem like the type of back who consistently rushes for over 100 yards, but his pass-catching ability allows him to rack up total yards figures that make him one of the most consistent rushers in the fantasy world. As long as the Colts offense doesn't put the game out of reach early, Bell should see a steady volume of touches, which will equal a reliable output for his fantasy owners.
