Andrew Luck

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) is ruled out for Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

The Colts have already declared Luck out for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Browns with his lingering shoulder injury. There is no question Jacoby Brissett, who almost led the Colts to victory in Week 2, will make his second straight start this week against Cleveland. Although he shouldn't be considered a safe fantasy play, Brissett's presence will boost the reliability of Jack Doyle, who snagged all eight of his Week 2 targets for 79 yards.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has ruled out quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) for Week 2.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Luck is not playing in Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Cardinals. He could be sidelined into October, per reports from yesterday morning. Since Scott Tolzien struggled mightily against the Rams in Week 1, ultimately leading to his benching in favor of Jacoby Brissett, expect the latter to be named the Week 2 starter. If Brissett indeed gets the start, however, he'll hold zero fantasy value until he can prove he can be more effective than Tolzien. Until the Colts show some signs of life, expect T.Y. Hilton and company to struggle.

Andrew Luck has already been ruled out for Week 1, and there are now reports he could be out for longer. Speaking Sunday on NFL GameDay Morning, Rapoport reported we might not see Luck in a game until October.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy owners who either drafted Luck or kept him in keeper leagues knew they were getting an injured quarterback for the beginning of 2017. However, most likely thought he would either be ready for Week 1 or would miss just the first week of the season. Now that Week 1 is here and he has yet to even begin practicing, there is cause for concern that he could be out for a month or longer. Monitor his status in the coming weeks to see if he begins practicing, as that will be the first sign that he is close to returning.

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard told the press quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) will not play in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Luck is officially ruled out of the season opener against the Rams. In his absence, Scott Tolzien will get the start. Tolzien should only garner fantasy value in leagues in which you can start multiple quarterbacks. However, it will be minimal value at best. Consider him in the back-end QB2 tier.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting the Indianapolis Colts have activated QB Andrew Luck (shoulder) from the PUP list.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, the Colts have activated Luck from the PUP list. Although reports are suggesting he'll likely miss the season opener, he could return for Week 2. His fantasy owners should breathe a sigh of relief, however, since they'll likely get him back sooner rather than later.
