After missing the Week 4 game against the the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Colts are planning for Andrew Luck to make his return to the lineup on Thursday night against the Houston Texans. It's not guaranteed that he will play as of yet - but in general this is good news for both the Colts and fantasy owners.
Although Luck has struggled so far this year, he is still an elite talent with plenty of offensive weapons in T.Y. Hilton, Donte Moncrief, Coby Fleener and Frank Gore. Even with his struggles this year, Luck has still put up 21.72 and 20.50 fantasy points in Weeks 1 and 3. So if he's indeed back on Thursday, fantasy owners should be sure to start him against a Texans defense that has been getting shredded. Brighter times are ahead for Luck, and he will remain a significant fantasy factor this season as long as he's healthy.
