Indianapolis Colts

Andrew Luck (Quarterback): Andrew Luck fantasy owners were hoping that the quarterback pulled it together for this matchup against a mediocre Titans defense, they may have left with more questions than answers. Luck was accurate for parts of the game however threw some terrible balls, sometimes right into the defenders hands. Luck finished the day going 18 of 30 for 260 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. The Indianapolis offensive line might continue to keep Luck, unlucky.

TY Hilton/Donte Moncrief/ Andre Johnson/Phillip Dorsett (Wide Receiver): Hilton had a decent game returning from a knee injury. He finished catching 4 out of 7 of his targets for 94 yards. The reduced role for Donte Moncrief was apparent however he still made it into the end zone for a touchdown. Moncrief finished catching 4 out of 7 targets for 32 yards. Johnson had 1 target and no receptions looking like the biggest bust of the offseason. Dorsett finally got on the fantasy radar hauling in 2 out of 3 of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown.

Frank Gore (Running Back): Gore has been abused all season long however in week 3 he got some retribution. Gore had 14 carries for 86 yards, 2 touchdowns, and caught 1 out 2 of his targets for 8 yards. Gore finally had a big day answering his fantasy owner's prayers behind an embarrassing Colts line.

Tennessee Titans

Marcus Mariota (Quarterback): Mariota held his own in week 3 throwing for 27 of 44 from the field. He had 367 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Mariota could have beaten Luck and the Colts however rookie mistakes got the best of him in week 3.

Bishop Sankey/Antonio Andrews (Running Backs): Sankey was behind both Dexter McCluster and Antonio Andrews on the depth chart. Sankey only finished the game with 5 carries for 10 yards, and caught both of his targets for 31 yards. Andrews became the main back in week 3 rushing for 49 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. He also caught 1 out of 2 targets for 12 yards. This backfield is an absolute mess and should be avoided at all costs.  

Kendall Wright (Wide Receiver):  Wright brought some constancy to the offense hauling in 7 of 12 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown. Wright will continue to be Mariota's top target.
