Colts-Bears Preview

Colts Preview

After that appalling loss to the Jaguars in London last week, the Colts took inventory and cut two of their defensive starters CB Antonio Cromartie and LB Sio Moore. In addition Art Jones will be coming back from his suspension this week so the run defense should be getting a much needed boost. There are rumors that the Colts will be using the hurry up offense a little bit more against the Bears this week as it seems to be the only way the offense has been working the past few weeks so I expect Andrew Luck to throw more earlier in the game. The Bears defense is doing about as bad as the Colts defense is this season so I expect a very high scoring game and the Colts offense to finally go back to its solid Week 1 performance. 

Fantasy Impact

Even with all the drops by receivers and poor offensive line performance, Andrew Luck is still having a pretty solid season with 8 TD’s and only 3 INT’s so he is a good start this week against the Bears. Frank Gore is having a very good season and is still a solid RB2 or flex play even as he moves into his upper 30’s. The only Colts receiver probably worth rostering is TY Hilton as he’s the only one guaranteed consistent production as Jack Doyle, Dwayne Allen, and Phillip Dorsett (who however did in fact catch a TD for his only reception last week) probably are not worth keeping on your roster.
