As the fantasy football season approaches near, managers in each league will be trying to get a piece of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who finished as the fourth-best player at the position in 2018.
There are several reasons to want Luck as your fantasy football quarterback. He’s an elite talent in a high-volume offense with several weapons around him to find success. There’s also another reason why Luck is going to be a hot commodity in re-draft leagues.
Luck is projected to have one of the best schedules among quarterbacks, per Mike Tagliere of Fantasy Pros.
After Luck plays the Chargers brutally tough defense in Week 1, it’s smooth sailing for him and the Colts. They have a four-game stretch from Week 3-7 where they’ll play the Falcons, Raiders, Chiefs, and Texans, which should boost his value quite a bit. Then he’ll play against the Bucs and Saints in the first two weeks of the fantasy playoffs, which is a treat for any quarterback, especially one who can go toe-to-toe with the best of them.
Playing the matchup game is vital to fantasy football. Sometimes it can hurt you, but making sure the matchups are favorable each week goes a long way in gunning for a fantasy title.
Luck and the Colts offense find themselves in a nice situation when it comes to their schedule in 2019. There are some tough matchups throughout the season, but they also should be in several high-scoring games. Those are always the ones to look at for fantasy points.
Luck is expected to be one of the top options in fantasy football this year. Add in his favorable schedule in 2019, and he quickly becomes a contender to be QB1.
