Fantasy Upside
There is a lot to like about Andrew Luck this season. He’s coming off of a monster 4,761-yard, 40 touchdown season and doesn’t look like he’ll be slowing down any time soon. Luck has an incredible group of wideouts that includes T.Y. Hilton, Andre Johnson, Donte Moncrief and even rookie Phillip Dorsett. He’ll have plenty of chances to throw to these guys as well, considering he finished with the third highest amount of pass attempts last season. Last season Luck finished as the No. 2 quarterback in fantasy, and the team has only gotten better.
Fantasy Downside
There’s not a lot of downside to Luck this season, but one fear is his offensive line. There was a lot of inconsistency last season amongst the group, but Luck was able to avoid getting sacked due his mobility. But that doesn’t always mean he avoided getting hit. The Colts had 109 hits on their quarterback last season, which ranks as the third most. Luck started all 16 games and absorbed most of those blows. He’s a tough player, but getting hit consistently could lead to an injury.
Bottom Line
Luck can easily be fantasy’s top quarterback this season. He’s just so talented when it comes to passing, and even rushing, and he has a lot of weapons around him. He should definitely be considered as one of the best at his position this season.
