Fantasy football 2018 draft or avoid: For Colts, all eyes on Andrew Luck's return image

As the 2018 fantasy football draft season approaches, we will showcase a player to draft and a player to avoid from all 32 teams.

The Colts look set to finally get Andrew Luck back under center this season after missing all of 2017 with a shoulder injury.

Whether or not Luck's return actually helps the offense remains to be seen. Rust certainly will play a factor with Luck as he gets back up to speed with NFL defenses. He also might scratch his head at his woeful supporting cast.

Here is someone to draft and avoid from the Colts in fantasy football this season:

Draft:

T.Y. Hilton, WR — As long as the price is right, Hilton is the only player on the Colts offense with any sort of upside. Though he hauled in just 57 receptions and four touchdowns last season, he has been much better with Luck at quarterback.

Hilton is not a player who should be selected in the top three rounds, but he's still an explosive runner who can break a big play any week. Expect a bounce-back season.

Avoid:

Everyone else: Honestly, fantasy football owners cannot feel comfortable drafting anyone other than Hilton on this team. Luck is returning from serious injury, the running back situation is in flux, and they even added a second tight end (Eric Ebron), diminishing Jack Doyle's value.

Defensively, the Colts did little to improve after ranking 30th overall last year. Other Colts players will end up on people's fantasy rosters, but outside of Hilton, no one else warrants a pick inside the top-10 rounds.
