Andrew Luck, QB, Indianapolis Colts
22 for 28, 278 Yards, 4 Touchdowns
Performance: 95, NEP: +22.02
After sitting out last week with a concussion, Andrew Luck returned with a lights-out performance on Monday Night Football against the New York Jets. He completed 22 of 28 passes for 278 passing yards and 4 touchdowns.
The Colts jumped out to an early lead and never really gave the Jets a chance. Luck threw three touchdowns to Dwayne Allen, one to Donte Moncrief, and could've had a fifth to Jack Doyle if he hadn't fumbled it out the back of the end zone.
Luck's biggest play of the game came on a 2nd-and-8 just outside of the Jets' red zone. The signal-caller threw a beautiful floater for Allen, who caught it over the head of rookie Darron Lee in tight coverage. The touchdown came inside the final two minutes of the first half, adding +3.32 to Luck's NEP and propelled Indy to a 93.25 percent Win Probability.
While he's been inconsistent in 2016, Luck has moved up to 14th among all quarterbacks in Total NEP.
Luck's four-touchdown outbreak landed him the overall top fantasy quarterback performance this week (standard scoring). In 11 games, he has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback seven times.
