Coach Chuck Pagano said to expect more three- and five-step drops from Andrew Luck this season.
Under Bruce Arians, Luck took mostly seven-step drops. He rarely dumped off passes to running backs and always looked to aggressively push the ball vertically. Now that Arians is out and Pep Hamilton is in, a true West Coast scheme is being installed. "We want to be efficient. The biggest difference might be a little bit more quick-game, if you will. Get the ball out of Andrew's hands," Pagano said. "Get it into our playmakers' hands. A little bit more catch-and-run type of things." Luck is at the back end of the QB1 rankings in fantasy circles.

The National Football Post's Dan Pompei reports new Colts OC Pep Hamilton is trying to adapt to as much of Bruce Arians' offense as possible.

Hamilton is "trying to minimize changes" and "make it easier" on younger players while sticking with what worked so well. We still expect more West Coast tendencies to be implemented by Hamilton, but keeping the offense as vertical and pass-happy as possible would be good news for the fantasy prospects of Andrew Luck and especially second-year burner T.Y. Hilton.

New Colts OC Pep Hamilton says he may "mix in some read-option" in 2013.

"We’ll do a great job of mixing in some power runs, mixing in the downfield passing game, maybe even mixing in some wildcat plays, mix in some read-option, pistol-type schemes," Hamilton said. "Just really try and present once again a lot of conflicts for our opponents." Andrew Luck certainly has the athleticism to make plays with his feet, but we wouldn't expect a huge uptick on his 2012 running numbers (62 carries for 255 yards and five touchdowns). However, even 2-3 more rushing scores would be a boon for his fantasy prospects.

New Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton says he'll run more of a West Coast offense than Bruce Arians did in Indianapolis.

Under Arians, the Colts relied on a high-volume passing game that sought to pick up yards in chunks. Andrew Luck averaged a healthy 12.9 yards per completion. Luck is very unlikely to approach that number in 2013, and his attempts will likely also be down. "The short, efficient passing game, a high completion rate," Hamilton explained when quizzed on what he's aiming for. "I’m a big believer of the power-running game and I think that ultimately opens up your passing game, the play-action passes." The Colts were in the middle of the pack when it came to play-action in 2012, but that figures to rise under Hamilton. We might be a bit wary of expecting Luck to top 4,300 yards passing again.

Colts GM Ryan Grigson suggested that upgrading the offensive line will be among his top priorities this offseason.

Andrew Luck got sacked 41 times in his rookie campaign, fourth-most in the league. "Andrew has to get hit less, we know that," Grigson said. The Colts are expected to be roughly $40 million under the 2012 salary cap, giving them a shot at the top tier of free agent tackles -- a list that includes Ryan Clady, Andre Smith, Branden Albert and Jake Long.
Jan 16 - 10:40 AM

Andrew Luck completed 28-of-54 passes for 288 yards and an interception at Baltimore in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

His 54 attempts shattered Aaron Brooks' rookie record of 48. No quarterback was knocked down more than Luck this season, and he got little help from his offensive line and wide receivers again on Sunday. Although the Ravens blitzed him relentlessly, Luck played well enough to win with more support from his teammates. With another offseason for savvy GM Ryan Grigson to acquire talent, Luck should be a top-10 fantasy QB again in 2013.
Jan 6 - 4:56 PM

Andrew Luck completed 14-of-28 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Texans.

Luck connected with Coby Fleener in the first half and later hit T.Y. Hilton on a 70-yard strike to put the game out of reach. He finishes his impressive rookie season with a 54.0 completion-percentage, 4,374 passing yards, and a 23:18 touchdown-to-interception ratio, improving the Colts by nine wins from 2011. The Colts didn't gain anything in the standings with the win and will play the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs.

Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said Andrew Luck's right arm "might be a little tired."

"I don't see Andrew Luck wearing down. Every player is tired this time of year. You play through it," said Pagano. In six games since Week 10, Luck has failed to complete more than 54.1 percent of his passes in a single game and hasn't completed 50 percent of his passes in four straight weeks. The Colts are heading into Week 17 to take on the Texans, and they won't rest their starters, even though the numbers show that Luck could probably use a breather.

Colts coach Chuck Pagano said he will not rest players in Sunday's game against the Texans.

The Colts are locked into the AFC's No. 5 seed, but Pagano says it's "not in our makeup" to rest anyone. Expect Andrew Luck, Vick Ballard, Reggie Wayne and everyone else to start in a game the Texans need to win to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. However, we can't be certain that Pagano won't remove players in the second half to avoid potential injuries. Fantasy owners playing into Week 17 will be taking a risk by starting their Colts.

Andrew Luck has set the record for the most passing yards by a rookie quarterback.

The record lasts all of one year. In 2011, Cam Newton threw for 4,051 yards while breaking Peyton Manning's mark of 3,739 yards set in 1998. Now, Luck has 4,183 with one game to play. "It definitely means something, and after the season I'll have a chance to reflect back on it," he said.

Andrew Luck completed 17-of-35 passes for 205 yards and one touchdown as the Colts edged the Chiefs in Week 16.

He rushed six times for 21 yards. Indianapolis was again missing core offensive linemen C Samson Satele and RT Winston Justice, and it showed up on the field as Luck was under constant duress. The Chiefs have done little well this season, but they certainly can bring pressure with explosive OLBs Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. Luck did break Cam Newton's single-season rookie passing record on a late second-quarter completion of 23 yards to T.Y. Hilton. Contributing to Luck's underwhelming fantasy day were several drops by his receivers, including two by Reggie Wayne and one by Donnie Avery on third-and-12 in the third quarter. The Colts will finish out the regular season against a reeling Texans pass defense in Week 17.

Andrew Luck has been hit 19 times and sacked nine times in the last two weeks.

Luck's offensive line has let him down for most of the year. He's been sacked 37 times this season, fourth-most in NFL history for a rookie and fourth-most in the league this season. The string of injuries along the offensive line certainly haven't helped. C Samson Satele (ankle) won't play against the Chiefs and RT Winston Justice (biceps) is questionable. The good news is that Kansas City generates almost no pass rush as they rank 30th in the league in sacks.

Andrew Luck completed 13-of-27 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns as the Colts fell to the Texans in Week 15.

He also scrambled twice for ten yards. Luck didn't come away with a terrible fantasy stat line, but there was no magical fourth-quarter comeback this week. The Texans dominated the Colts' offensive line in the trenches, as J.J. Watt racked up three sacks and a forced fumble while OLB Connor Barwin and RE Antonio Smith also chipped in a sack apiece. Expect a more productive day from Luck when the Colts travel to Kansas City in Week 16.

Andrew Luck completed just 16-of-34 passes for 196 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Colts' Week 14 win over the Titans.

Luck has now gone four straight games without completing at least 55 percent of his passes, and he's thrown 10 interceptions over the past five weeks. His offensive line did him zero favors. Luck was sacked four times and was forced to evacuate the pocket on several other occasions. One interception came on a last-second Hail Mary attempt to close out the first half, and the other was a pick-six where Luck's knee was clearly down before he threw it. Donnie Avery later dropped an easy 35-yard touchdown in the end zone that hit him right in the face mask. Luck and the Colts go on the road to Houston next week.

Andrew Luck completed 24-of-54 passes for 391 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions in the Colts' wild 35-33 Week 13 win over the Lions.

Luck was brutal through three quarters, carelessly overthrowing open receivers as the Colts found themselves down 33-21 with eight minutes left while on the road. Then, the No. 1 overall pick caught fire. He completed a 42-yard bomb to LaVon Brazill and followed that up with a stunning game-winning drive that was capped by a 14-yard dump to Donnie Avery as time expired. Luck now has six 300-yard days in 12 career NFL starts. He's on pace for 4.794 yards, 22 touchdowns and 21 touchdowns heading into next week's dream matchup with the Titans in Indy.
