The Indianapolis Colts are far from an intimidating defense, but this week they may be facing one of our favorite quarterbacks to target: Nathan Peterman.
Rookie Josh Allen should miss this week after leaving last week's game in the third quarter with an elbow injury. Peterman came on in relief of Allen in Week 6, and it was not pretty.
Peterman completed just 50% of his passes and threw 2 interceptions, including a game-winning pick-six for the Houston Texans. But Week 6 wasn't Peterman's only game action this year. He started for the Bills in Week 1, although he didn't even finish the game before he was benched in favor of Allen at halftime. In that Week 1 start, Peterman threw for 24 yards in the first half, took 3 sacks, and threw 2 interceptions.
The Bills also have Derek Anderson on the roster, so he may get the nod this week over Peterman, but either way, the Bills have been a great team to target with streamers. The Bills' offensive line has allowed 24 sacks, third-most on the season, and over the past three weeks, two teams have posted top-two fantasy finishes against the Bills.
The Colts are 6.5-point home favorites and make for a great streaming option in Week 7.
