3. What’s up with Andrew Luck? Can he bounce back and regain the form of 2014 when he threw 40 TD passes to just 16 INT’s? A certain Bears blogger who may or may not own him in fantasy needs to know!

His fantasy numbers might not be great, but he’s had a solid start to the season. In London, Luck had 13 failed completions (with most being drops). Half of his turnovers really haven’t been his fault (Von Miller’d on a fumble, and a tipped pass at the line Sunday). His interception percentage is just 1.8, which is a career low for him and he’s top 15 in this respect.

The bigger issue is protection where Luck has been sacked 15 times, the most in the NFL. He’s been under constant pressure and his receivers don’t have time to get open. The offensive schemes don’t play into this team’s strengths as they refuse to go with a no-huddle until desperation time. I doubt that play calling changes, but Luck should be fine if the line improves even a little.
