Oct 14, 2013 05:23 PM EDT

The fantasy football week ends on Monday night football with the Indianapolis Colts taking on the Chargers in San Diego in the debut on MNF for Andrew Luck and some fantasy football players to look out for to start and sit includes Keenan Allen, TY Hilton, Reggie Wayne, Vincent Brown, Eddie Royal as well as Philip Rivers and Luck.

The Colts are 4-1 this season and they are facing a defense that is giving up the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks, making Andrew Luck and his receivers all solid START options on Monday night for the team against San Diego. Luck is completing over 60 percent of his passes this season and he has over 1,1400 yards passing and seven touchdowns and he coming off of a game last week when he had over 200 yards passing and two TDs. Luck has only thrown one pick over his last three games and the team has now won three straight games, including over the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks.

Luck has some very good options at wide receiver and with the way the San Diego secondary is playing, both TY Hilton and Reggie Wayne are STARTS for Monday night. Wayne has been old reliable as usual with 28 receptions for 365 yards and two touchdowns, while Hilton has been the big play threat with over 340 yards on 20 catches with two scores as well. Hilton is averaging over 17 yards per catch and on Monday night he is a good scoring threat for the Colts, especially with Trent Richardson giving the team a more consistent rushing attack.

Wayne is a consistent player for Luck and he is coming off a game where he had six catches and 65 yards and the past two games he has been targeted 20 times, including against the Jags when he had five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. Wayne and Hilton gives Luck two very good receiver options and with Hilton getting five catches and 140 yards for two touchdowns last week, he could be a big factor on Monday night.

The Chargers have had plenty of injuries this season at wide receiver and that has put Keenan Allen, Vincent Brown and Eddie Royal in spots to produce. Allen is coming off his best career game as a pro, making six catches for 115 yards and a touchdown and Rivers should be looking for him on Monday night. As a rookie Allen has 14 catches for over 200 yards and he is available in most fantasy leagues. Brown has been a very solid option as well with Royal, as he has 19 catches for 329 yards and two touchdowns. All those players could be solid options on Monday night football for the Chargers and Colts on ESPN at 8:30 pm.
