Alright, folks, it’s time once again for some football! Week 5 gives an AFC South matchup with the Indianapolis Colts facing off against the Houston Texans. Both teams have ultra-talented fantasy players coming off of injuries who should put up some great fantasy numbers this week. Both Colts’ quarterback Andrew Luck and Texans’ running back Arian Foster are primed to have some big fantasy outputs tonight.
Thursday Night Football is upon us, let’s get started with my preview:
INJURIES:
The biggest injury issue going into this game is the partially separated shoulder that Luck is dealing with. He has been throwing in practice the last few days and Colts’ coaches say he is good to play, so get him in your lineup.
Both Nate Washington and Cecil Shorts won’t be present …show more content…
So far in 2015, Mallett has thrown for 720 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. He’s completed just 51.8 percent of his passes and has a low QBR of 65.3. The Colts defense ranks 19th at defending against opposing quarterbacks, allowing an average of 21.8 fantasy points per game. I’m not sold on Mallett as a viable fantasy quarterback, so I’m once again staying away from him in Week 5.
Fantasy Prediction: 250 passing yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions
Arian Foster, RB
During the preseason, Foster ended up on the injured list once again in his career, but he made a return to the field during Week 4. His first game wasn’t quite what fantasy owners wanted to see, though. Foster rushed the ball just eight times for 10 ten yards and caught three passes for 25 yards. Indianapolis ranks 19th defending against running backs and allow an average of 18.9 fantasy points per game. This very well could be Foster’s chance to prove he was worth that roster spot he’s been taking up on your bench all year
