1. Andrew Luck, Quarterback
This is the type of game that Luck is expected to come through in a big way for the Colts. Despite the Broncos’ additions of Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward, and DeMarcus Ware on the defensive end of the football, they will still have holes that Luck can exploit. Last season against the Broncos, Luck ended up throwing for 228 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.
Playing in the type of pressure game that this one is expected to be is exactly where Luck likes to be. He has extra motivation as well, playing against Manning and trying to prove that his franchise made the right move. It isn’t likely that he will throw for over 400 yards or for six touchdown passes, but he will put together a more than solid game for your fantasy football team.
Luck is a quarterback that will be a must play nearly ever week unless you have a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, or Tom Brady on your roster. This week is a game that should give him a chance to put up some big fantasy points, and it would be wise to go ahead and plug him into the starting lineup for your time. Expect to see a very exciting game and Luck to come through once again in a win or loss.
