Four Downs: Andrew Luck disappoints

For all those who decide their fantasy championships in one weekend of Week 16 games, thereby avoiding the occasionally frustrating final week (when several stars see their playing time compromised), we give you the sad story of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. This fantastic player entered Sunday as fantasy's No. 1 overall scorer with 322 points, an exemplary 23 point-per-game average and a tasty road game pending with the Dallas Cowboys, a team not exactly known for defensive exploits and with a sub-.500 record in home games this season. So what happened in Week 16, the biggest game of the year for most fantasy owners? Well, Luck and those relying on him weren't so lucky (pardon the pun). By the time Luck was pulled, with his team waxed 35-0, he had scored nary a fantasy point. Just like you and me.

Let's just say fantasy owners weren't pleased, even if the move made perfect sense. Zero points? Heck, even Johnny Manziel managed to score a fantasy point this weekend, and he didn't even play half the game.
