Pagano: Andrew Luck will not play in Week 16

Dec 21, 2015

If the Colts want to try to stay in the AFC South race, they’re going to have to do it without Andrew Luck for at least another week.

Via Mike Chappel of IndySportsCentral.com, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Luck will not play this week at Miami.

Fantasy Impact:

It’s not a surprise, as Luck recovers from a lacerated kidney. Pagano said he’d hold out the chance Luck could play in the regular season finale if he’s able to see him practice, the story said. With 40-year-old backup Matt Hasselbeck “beat up from the feet up” in Pagano’s words, it might come down to Charlie Whitehurst at some point, the story added.

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

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.

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.
