INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck looked fit and flawless for the Colts on Saturday.In his first start since early November, Luck completed all eight of his passes, led the Colts on two long drives and avoided taking any hits in a 19-18 loss to Baltimore.Sure, its only preseason, but the Colts wanted to see which Luck would show up -- the guy who went to Pro Bowls in each of his first three NFL seasons or the turnover-prone quarterback who couldnt stay on the field in 2015.Luck was eager to come back, too, after seeing the Hall of Fame game cancelled two weeks ago and being benched in soggy Buffalo last week.It didnt take him long to get in sync.It was good to be out there, it was fun. It was a lot of fun, Luck said. Its like breathing. You just need more of it.He opened the game by leading the Colts on a 61-yard drive that set up Adam Vinatieri for a short field goal. He had Indy in position to score again -- until Dwayne Allen lost a fumble at the Baltimore 18-yard line. The final numbers: 8 of 8, 69 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions, no sacks and two slides.Joe Flacco, Baltimores starting quarterback, did not play. Ryan Mallett and Josh Johnson each threw TD passes and No. 4 quarterback Jerrod Johnson led Baltimore on a late drive for a field goal.RAVENS RETURN OF 2-POINTER CLINCHES ITAfter Indy took an 18-17 lead on Stephen Morris 7-yard TD pass to Trey Williams with 3:54 left, the Colts played it by the book and tried a 2-point conversion. It was a huge mistake. Baltimores first stop was wiped out because Anthony Levine Sr. was called offside. With a second chance, Levine picked off Morris pass and returned it for two points to give the Ravens a 19-18 lead without a second ticking off the clock. Indy got one more chance to win it, but Pat McAfees 62-yard field-goal attempt came up short as time expired.BACKUP PLANMallett did nothing to hurt his standing as the No. 2 quarterback, going 6 of 8 for 47 yards with no interceptions. Josh Johnson had a big night, too, going 11 of 16 with 72 yards and finishing as the Ravens top runner with five carries for 40 yards. Scott Tolzien was 13 of 18 with 107 yards and one TD for the Colts. Morris was 7 of 11 for 66 yards.ROOKIE WATCHRavens: Left tackle Ronnie Stanley, Baltimores first-round draft pick, held his own against the Colts mostly vanilla defense by not allowing a sack.Colts: Rookie center Ryan Kelly played with Luck for the first time in a game, and Kelly helped make sure Luck stayed upright with solid blocking and no botched snaps.POSITION BATTLESRavens: Lardarius Webb is trying to win the starting safety job and looked like a good fit next to Eric Weddle. The safety tandem did not allow the Colts to take many deep shots.Colts: Even though Joe Reitz may have secured the starting right tackle job and Denzelle Good looks like the favorite at right guard, the Colts got a long look at rookie tackle LeRaven Clark, who is trying to play his way into the rotation.INJURY UPDATERavens: None.Colts: Starting cornerback Patrick Robinson left in the first quarter with a groin injury and rookie offensive lineman Joe Haeg left with an ankle injury in the second. The most significant injury might have been to the ankle of backup offensive lineman Kevin Graf, who left on a cart for the second time in two weeks.QUOTABLERavens: Coach John Harbaugh on Levines return: Anthony Levine, who is banged up and nicked up, to pick that off and take it to the house for the winning points was gigantic.Colts: Coach Chuck Pagano on his early impressions of Luck: He ran the offense, he made great decisions, we moved the ball up and down the field, but then we shot ourselves in the foot with penalties. We shouldve had two touchdowns.---This story has been corrected to show the first name of the Ravens coach is John, not Jim.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max 1 Sale Cheap .

But that doesnt mean were going to stop providing daily notes with the best and worst matchups of each day of fantasy baseball. Whether youre trying to chase down a season-long title or post a big score in daily fantasy, weve got rankings and analysis to guide you to the best options for the first Sunday in September.PitchingEliteIt has been a tale of two halves for Chris Archer. The Tampa Bay Rays ace registered a 4.76 ERA during the first half of the season as compared to a 3.16 since. His strikeout rate is virtually identical before and after July 1. The major improvements are a marked drop in walks from a 3.9 BB/9 to 2.1 BB/9 in tandem with fewer homers allowed. Archer will look to continue his strong second half, but it wont be easy as the Toronto Blue Jays close out a set at Tropicana Field. However, if Archer can manage to keep the ball in the yard, he could be in for a big day, as theres above average swing-and-miss in the Toronto lineup. Consider Archer a high-upside GPP candidate.SolidAfter a trio of very short and subpar efforts following time on the disabled list because of elbow soreness, Danny Salazar?struck out 10 in 5 1/3 innings last time out, giving hope he has finally recovered. The fact he was recently on paternity leave suggests he might have had something else on his mind as well, though theres currently no metric to quantify that. The Cleveland Indians right-handers combination of dominance and inconsistency is better suited for GPP action as opposed to cash play. That said, Sundays interleague affair with the Miami Marlins doesnt set up favorably as they whiff at a below-average rate versus righties and are able to use a designated hitter as the contest is hosted by the Tribe.The days marquee matchup features John Lackey and the Chicago Cubs hosting Johnny Cueto and the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field for the finale of a weekend series. Lackey is making his first start since a short disabled-list stint, and Cueto is coming off of his only start this season in which he failed to toss at least five innings. Normally, they each profile well for cash play, but considering both opposing offenses are dangerous, consider this game for entertainment purposes to watch while rooting for your fantasy players on other teams.J.A. Happ has to be considered one of the seasons biggest surprises. While its true the lefty pitched well last season, he pitched in a couple of favorable venues in Seattle and Pittsburgh. The move to the AL East and Rogers Centre had many, as it turns out, unnecessarily worried. On Saturday, Happ will work in another pitchers park as the Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays meet up in Tropicana Feld, setting the southpaw up for all forms of DFS play.Mat Latos won five games in April, one more than Julio Teheran has won all season. Im calling it, Teheran will notch his fifth victory in the City of Brotherly Love as the Atlanta Braves close out a set at Citizens Bank Park. For the past month, the Philadelphia Phillies are among the weakest teams in the game with a righty on the hill, sporting a meek .313 weighted on base average (wOBA) along with a bloated 25 percent strikeout rate. If youre concerned about run support, the Braves are in the upper half in the league in terms of runs per game since the All-Star break and get to face rookie Jake Thompson. Teheran is one of the top options for all DFS formats.If the St. Louis Cardinals hold onto a wild-card berth, it probably will be because of a strong September from Carlos Martinez. The 24-year old righty looks to start the month off strong with a date in the Great American Ballpark against the Cincinnati Reds. It wont be as easy as it appears, considering the home team has hit right-handed pitching to the tune of a .340 wOBA over the past month. That said, Martinez has been sharp lately, giving up only one run in each of his last three outings, featuring 25 whiffs to only six walks in those 21 innings. Theres more risk than perceived, but Martinez still profiles favorably for DFS purposes.Leets highlight another hurler looking good for tournament play as Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers wrap up their Lone Star State set with the Houston Astros in Arlington.dddddddddddd. The visitors continue to post a strong lineup with high strikeout upside. The 30-year old righty enjoys the platoon edge over the better Astros hitters, putting him and his 11.3 K/9 in play for GPPs.StreamersWith Jacob deGrom joining the growing list of Mets hurlers with worrisome arm woes, Seth Lugo grabs at least one more start. Its a tough draw against Scherzer, but in his three outings since joining he rotation, Lugo has fared well, giving up only five earned runs in 17 2/3 innings. Grabbing the win will be a tall order, but if you need some innings, Lugos in play.After being teased several times throughout the season, Los Angeles Dodgers prized prospect Jose De Leon is set to make his first career start Sunday at home against the San Diego Padres. Its a great spot for the rookie as the Friars tote the second worst wOBA versus righties for the past month along with being the easiest team for right-handers to punch out over that span. De Leon worked seven frames in each of his last three starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City, so there should be no concern with pitch counts.The Pittsburgh Pirates have summoned Steven Brault to help fill the rotation void until Gerrit Cole or Tyler Glasnow are ready to go. The 24-year old southpaw is enjoying a solid season at Triple-A Indianapolis tempered somewhat by a high walk rate that has carried over in his three starts with the big club, issuing seven free passes in only 14 innings. However, with a date in pitcher-friendly PNC Park against the strikeout-happy Milwaukee Brewers, Braults a viable fantasy spot-starter.AvoidHead-to-head leagues are likely in the playoffs at this point, while seasonal leagues are knee-deep in balancing wins and strikeouts with protecting ratios. This usually means needs and risk tolerance indicate whether to use a pitcher as opposed to the usual analytic means. One potentially usable option near the bottom of the chart is Kendall Graveman, who has pitched well over the second half but runs into the productive Boston Red Sox.HittingWhenever theres a game in Denver, the question whether to embrace or fade Coors Field is front and center for daily fantasy. Sunday is a day when youll want exposure on both sides. Beginning with the visiting Diamondbacks facing Jon Gray, the Snakes probably will run a bunch of righties up there since only Jake Lamb can take advantage of the platoon edge, but thats fine. Dont hesitate to deploy Jean Segura, A.J. Pollock, Paul Goldschmidt or Yasmany Tomas.For the Rockies squaring off with Archie Bradley, Charlie Blackmon, Carlos Gonzalez, David Dahl and Gerardo Parra lead the way from the left side with Nolan Arenado an option against everyone.The new-look New York Yankees are set up for a big day against southpaw Wade Miley in Camden Yards. Rookie phenom Gary Sanchez gets top billing, followed by Starlin Castro and Aaron Judge. It wouldnt be surprising to see Tyler Austin pick up a start, in which case, add him to the list.The Braves might be the least mentioned club in this space, as theyre last in the league in runs per game. However, since the break theyre in the upper half. With Jake Thompson on the hill, the Braves could be in for a productive day, which usually means Freddie Freeman is in the middle of things. Others with the platoon advantage include Ender Inciarte and Nick Markakis but dont sleep on Adonis Garcia or Matt Kemp.Most likely to hit a home run: You know David Ortiz wants to do something special in his last appearance in Oakland, and against Kendall Graveman he has a good chance to do just that. Graveman is crafty, not dominating so expect Big Papi to be swinging from the heels.Most likely to steal a base: Starling Marte might have disappointed in the power department, but his running as made up for it. Theres no reason for it to stop against a Brewers club that hasnt stopped anyone all season. ' ' '
