The Indianapolis Colts are 13-0 straight up and 12-0-1 against the spread in their last 13 games against division rivals. The Colts are hoping a divisional road matchup against the Tennessee Titans this week will help quarterback Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis offense get back on track.
Luck is the focal point of a prop bet this Sunday asking how many fantasy points the star quarterback will accumulate against the Titans. Luck’s fantasy point total is currently set at 22.5 points at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Last season, Luck was one of the best fantasy quarterback options in the NFL. This year, he’s only had 19.7 points against the Buffalo Bills and 12.4 against the New York Jets.
Antonio Brown is the top wide receiver in all of daily fantasy sports through the first two games of the season, racking up 35.4 fantasy points per game. Brown is a -175 favorite this week to finish with more fantasy points than the Denver Broncos’ Demaryius Thomas, who is going off at +145 to finish with more points.
Thomas has 17.8 fantasy points per game this season and is on the road against the Detroit Lions, while the Pittsburgh Steelers face the St. Louis Rams on the road.
After earning just 8.2 fantasy points on the road against the San Francisco 49ers, Adrian Peterson bounced back with a 23.2-point performance last week against Detroit. Peterson still hasn’t found the end zone this season, but he did have 192 total yards last Sunday. Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings host the San Diego Chargers this week.
The Vikings running back is a -150 favorite to finish this week with more fantasy points than Le’Veon Bell at +110. Bell will be making his first start of the season coming off a two-game suspension as the Steelers take on the Rams.
Sam Bradford and the Philadelphia Eagles visit Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets on Sunday. Which quarterback will finish with more fantasy points? Bradford has only 14.7 fantasy points per game this season and is facing one of the toughest passing defenses in the NFL. Fitzpatrick has averaged 15.7 fantasy points per game so far in 2015.
