Colts take QB Andrew Luck off PUP list, 'unlikely' to play Week 1

Sep 02, 2017

The #Colts have officially taken QB Andrew Luck off the PUP list, as they planned to do.

UPDATE from Adam Schefter: "Colts QB Andrew Luck passed his physical at 3:15 this afternoon, allowing him to come off PUP list. Still unlikely to play Week 1."

Fantasy Impact:

The literal definition of this is Luck will not be forced to sit out the first six weeks of the season. However, all indications are he will not be ready for the start of the season, especially after the Colts traded WR Phillip Dorsett to the Patriots for QB Jacoby Brissett. All Colts fantasy football options have to be downgraded until Luck returns. Brissett will only have four practices to get up to speed, meaning Scott Tolzien probably still starts Week 1.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
