Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has thrown for four touchdowns in three of his last four games and has found himself as a top-10 fantasy quarterback over that entire span.

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) is expected to be the lead back for the team's Week 6 contest with the New York Jets, barring any setbacks.

Ryan Grant, Chester Rodgers Both Solid Streamers Against Jets
The Indianapolis Colts offensive identity over the last two weeks has been high-volume throwing, meaning there should be plenty of receptions to go around for the duo of wide receivers Ryan Grant and Chester Rogers in Week 6 against the New York Jets.

Ryan Grant Pedestrian Against New England
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant caught six passes for 58 yards in a 24-38 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday. Grant operated as the team's top wideout with T.Y.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Chester Rogers caught eight passes for 66 yards in the team's 24-38 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday. With No. 1 wide receiver T.Y.
