10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 7
Marlon Mack, RB, Indianapolis Colts
Yahoo Ownership: 26%
In his first game since Week 2, Marlon Mack turned 12 carries into 89 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for 4 yards in Week 6. No other Colts back had more than 4 carries, and Mack's 13 total touches topped the backfield, with Nyheim Hines and Robert Turbin -- the latter of whom left early with a shoulder injury -- both finishing with five total touches.
And this was in a game in which Indy was playing from behind for most of the contest, which plays right into the hands of the Hines, a pass-game stud. So, yeah, we need to go after Mack.
As we mentioned earlier, the Colts have been incredibly pass-happy this year, but in Week 7, they have a good chance to finally see a positive game script as they host the Buffalo Bills in a game in which Indy is an early 6.5-point favorite. Not only does Mack profile as a sweet play in Week 7, he could be in line for a significant role the rest of the way.
