The Indianapolis Colts have been hot while winning three straight games and fantasy football owners have been pleased with Ahmad Bradshaw over that stretch, as he has been getting solid work ahead of Trent Richardson and on Thursday night he is a strong start option with Dwyane Allen, TY Hilton, Reggie Wayne and Coby Fleener for Andrew Luck as he takes on the Houston Texans in Week 6 Thursday night.
Luck has been the best quarterback in fantasy this season and now the Colts face the Texans for a chance to take sole possession of the division lead. Luck has been simply great this year and he has 14 Tds already and just six picks and he has been the top rated passer in fantasy football. Luck is well on his way to a 4k season and he already has over 1600 passing yards in just five games and this week he has the chance to shine again.
Luck has been moving the ball around and that can make it tough for fantasy owners to pick who to play, but Hilton, Wayne and Allen are all strong options. Luck has been dealing over the past few weeks and he ended up with 312 yards and on score in the game against the Ravens last week.
The team scored 40 points in each of the previous two games and Luck has been the reason for that, passing for over 380 yards in both and dropping in four touchdowns. Luck has been over 300 passing yards in all but one game this season and he has had at least two TDs in four of five games and that means he should be in line for a big game on Thursday.
The Colts have plenty of offensive weapons and Luck has shown that he knows how to spread the ball around. Having Wayne back has been huge after he was injured last season and Bradshaw is playing well after being banged up last season too. The Colts were a sexy Super Bowl pick for some heading into the season and after starting 0-2 many were worried. Luck has helped turn it around and now the team has a chance to win four games in a row and a win here would give the team sole possession of first place. The team has been great against the AFC South since Luck was drafted and they will try to do it again.
