Andrew Luck's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 3

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck defanged the Jacksonville Jaguars' lackluster defense in Week 3, cementing his status as a QB1 option in most fantasy football leagues.      

Here are Luck's final stats from the blowout win over the Jaguars:

CP/ATT	YDS	TD	INT	CAR	RSH YDS
31/39	370	4	0	3	15

Inflated statistics are nothing new for players lined up across from the Jaguars, but the way Luck took apart the defense proves that he is an extremely valuable fantasy football asset.

He is in complete control of this offense. Nine different Colts caught a pass, with six of those players reeling in at least four passes. ESPN Stats & Info pointed out Luck did plenty of damage in the first half:

Luck only threw for 172 yards in Week 2 against the Eagles, but there is a strong chance that paltry sum will look like an aberration by season's end. Luck is excellent at stringing together drives and has talented wideouts like Reggie Wayne at his disposal. 

He only carried the ball three times for 15 yards, but he's shown off his scrambling ability in the past and there is always the potential for a nice point boost from Luck when he brings the ball down and makes things happen with his legs.

His team may be 1-2, but that's no reason to keep him out of the lineup. If anything, the Colts struggling defense means Luck may be playing catch up more often than he would like in 2014. It's bad for the Colts, but a coup for fantasy managers.
