Description: Indianapolis QB Andrew Luck couldn't get the job done in his first career NFL playoff game. He completed 28 of his 54 passes for 288 yards and an interception. | Insight: Luck also lost a fumble while rushing for 35 yards on four carries. Baltimore's disruptive pass rush never allowed Luck to get in any kind of rhythm. It probably didn't help that Luck's receivers dropped several catchable passes throughout the game. Overall, Luck had a brilliant rookie year and it looks like he'll be a top fantasy target heading into next season. | | |

Description: Colts quarterback Andrew Luck added 191 to his rookie record for passing yards in a season Sunday against the Texans, giving him 4,374 yards. | Insight: Luck also threw two touchdowns with zero turnovers as the Colts played to win in Chuck Pagano's first game back on the sideline following several months of leukemia treatment. Luck's 23 passing touchdowns, five rushing touchdowns and 11 wins put him in a running for NFL Rookie of the Year. | | |
| 12/26/2012 4:57:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano says the Colts won't rest any of their starters this week against Houston despite already clinching the fifth seed in the AFC. | Insight: Playing all their starters will allow the Colts to stay fresh going into the playoffs though it also presents an injury risk (Wes Welker tore his ACL in a meaningless Week 17 game a few seasons ago). The most likely scenario is that Pagano plays his starters early before letting the backups take over in the second half. Plan your fantasy lineups accordingly. | | |
| 12/23/2012 5:33:00 PM |
Description: Colts quarterback Andrew Luck broke the all-time mark for most passing yards by a rookie by throwing for 205 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a win against Kansas City. | Insight: Luck now has 4,183 yards for the year, which is 132 more than the 4,051 Cam Newton totaled last year in his rookie season. The win also allowed Indianapolis to clinch a playoff berth. Luck presents a pretty convincing case to be Rookie of the Year. | | |

Description: Quarterback Andrew Luck helped the Colts win their ninth game of the season Sunday against Tennessee but didn't produce fantasy-worthy numbers after tossing four TDs in a miracle victory in Week 13 at Detroit. | Insight: Luck only had 196 yards on 16-of-34 passing with one touchdown and two picks after throwing for nearly 400 yards last week. He'll try to rebound in a tough matchup with Houston on the road in Week 15, his first career matchup with Indianapolis' division rival. | | |
| 12/2/2012 6:07:00 PM |
Description: Quarterback Andrew Luck led the Colts down the field for a touchdown on the final drive of the game as Indianapolis pulled off a stunning comeback win over the Lions on Sunday. | Insight: The Colts trailed 33-21 with less than three minutes remaining but somehow thanks to Luck's incredible arm, they were able to steal the victory. Luck finished the day with 391 yards and four touchdowns. It wasn't all good for Luck, who also heaved up three interceptions while completing less than half of his passes. Fortunately, fantasy owners will tend to look past these shortcomings after you lead a miracle late game comeback and throw for almost 400 yards. | | |

Description: Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck struggled Sunday against the Patriots. He committed four turnovers including three picks and a lost fumble. | Insight: Two of Luck's interceptions were returned for touchdowns. New England's defense was firing on all cylinders Sunday and as a rookie, Luck is entitled to have a subpar game every once in a while. He'll try to get back on track next week against 4-6 Buffalo. | | |
| Hot | 11/4/2012 6:42:00 PM |
Description: Colts QB Andrew Luck threw for an NFL rookie record 433 passing yards Sunday against Miami. | Insight: An incredible performance from the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft. Luck's recent strong play is a big reason why the Colts are 5-3 and have a chance of making the playoffs. | | |
| 10/7/2012 4:51:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck threw for a career-high 362 yards Sunday against the Packers and had three total touchdowns in an upset win. | Insight: Luck threw for two scores and rushed for another. The rookie has thrown for 300-plus yards in three of his first four NFL games despite having a shaky offensive line and running game to work with. | | |
| 9/23/2012 4:41:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck completed just 47.8 percent of his passes on 46 attempts Sunday against Jacksonville but he managed to throw for 313 yards and two touchdowns and rush for 50 yards. | Insight: Indianapolis' offensive line rarely gave Luck time to throw Sunday but he still made some plays. He's not someone you want to be starting right now but he could work his way into the top ten fantasy quarterbacks by season's end. | | |
| 9/16/2012 5:13:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck looked much better Sunday against Minnesota's lackluster pass defense than he did against Chicago last week. Luck completed 20-of-31 for 224 yards, two TDs and zero picks in his first career victory. | Insight: Luck can make all the throws and he's got the legs and awareness to move around in the Colts' ever-collapsing pocket. That should be enough to make Reggie Wayne an every-week WR2 and give fantasy value to tight end Coby Fleener and whoever is Indy's No. 2 receiver (Donnie Avery filled that spot Sunday but it's Austin Collie's job when he's active). | | |
| 8/25/2012 7:53:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck bounced back from a medicore outing in his second preseason game by throwing for 151 yards and a touchdown Saturday versus the Redskins. | Insight: Luck threw a beauty to T.Y. Hilton in the second quarter for a 31-yard score and didn't throw an interception in 23 pass attempts. He looks as polished as any first-year QB we've seen in recent memory. Expect him to have a solid rookie campaign. | | |
| 8/19/2012 10:29:00 PM |
Description: Colts quarterback Andrew Luck had a shaky outing Sunday night against Pittsburgh. He finished the evening 16-for-25 with no touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. | Insight: One of those picks should have been caught by wide receiver T.Y. Hilton but instead the rookie dropped it and it fell into the hands of Pittsburgh cornerback Cortez Allen. The other ended up being a pick-six as Ike Taylor returned the errant pass 49 yards for a Steelers touchdown. Luck was able to redeem himself somewhat however by diving into the end zone for a one-yard score with two minutes remaining in the second quarter. | | |
| 8/12/2012 4:17:00 PM |
Description: Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck looked sharp Sunday in the Colts' 38-3 demolition of St. Louis. | Insight: The rookie and No. 1 overall pick in last April's draft completed 10 of 16 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns including a big 63-yard score to running back Donald Brown. If Luck can keep this up, he should be able to contribute in fantasy right away. | | |
| 6/13/2012 11:59:00 AM |
Description: Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano noted that his rookie quarterback Andrew Luck "is off the charts, as far as football IQ." | Insight: Three-time PAC-12 All-Academic, three-time PAC-12 first team, Maxwell and Walter Camp award winner from Stanford University... what was he expecting? He'll still struggle as a rookie when the game begin for real, but he should be a low-end fantasy starter in year one and improve from there. | | |
| 4/26/2012 9:26:00 PM |
Description: As expected, Andrew Luck was chosen by the Indianapolis Colts as the first selection in the 2012 NFL Draft. | Insight: Mel Kiper Jr. has called Luck the best quarterback prospect he's seen since John Elway in the early 1980s. That's pretty high praise and obviously Luck is remarkably polished for a 22-year-old but he won't have many weapons besides Reggie Wayne on offense next season. | | |
| 4/20/2012 4:53:00 PM |
Description: Various sources are confirming the Indianapolis Colts' plans to select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the first pick of the 2012 draft. | Insight: While he is certainly a highly ranked college quarterback, remember that in Peyton Manning's first NFL season, when he threw for 3,739 yards, 26 touchdowns and 28 interceptions, he had Marshall Faulk catching balls out of the backfield and a young Marvin Harrison at wideout. Luck's coming to an offense with much less talent. | | |
