Fantasy Footnotes: Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton shred the Texans
Every gameday during the regular season, theScore's fantasy editors recap the most important news and notes from around the league.
Colts passing attack can't be stopped
Andrew Luck came into Thursday's game against the Houston Texans leading the league in passing, and he sure showed why he has risen to the top of the league in that category.
Luck threw for 370 yards and three touchdowns, spreading the ball around to seven different receivers.
Even so, the connection that he had with T.Y. Hilton was something to behold. Hilton had a career-high 223 yards and a score, often beating double coverage for big plays down the field.
Other Notable Fantasy Lines
Arian Foster, RB, Texans
20 carries for 109 yards, 3 catches for 32 yards, 2 TDs
Foster looks healthy again and he's now second in the league in rushing behind DeMarco Murray.
J.J. Watt, DE, Texans
2 sacks, 1 fumble return for TD
Watt now has three scores on the year and the Houston defense leads the NFL in turnovers.
DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Texans
1 catch for 12 yards
He was targeted only twice in by far his worst outing of the season.
Trent Richardson, RB, Colts
17 carries for 41 yards, 1 TD
The score was nice, but he still can't anything decent going in the way of yardage.
Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Colts
11 carries for 34 yards, 3 catches for 25 yards, 1 TD
He continues to be a factor in the passing game and seems to be running with so much more purpose than Richardson.
Reggie Wayne, WR, Colts
4 catches for 35 yards
Wayne seems to be more of a possession option at the moment with Hilton being the No. 1 target.
Injury Ward
Andre Johnson, WR, Texans
Johnson certainly didn't look like he was nursing an ankle injury Thursday. He posted seven catches for 99 yards and a touchdown. He did lose a fumble, though.
Waiver Wire
Dwayne Allen, TE, Colts
Allen had three grabs for 49 yards and seems to be slowly overtaking Coby Fleener as Luck's favorite option at tight end. He had seven targets to Fleener's four.
