by Gage Bridgford - RotoBaller on October 18, 2018 at 9:40 am

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines' value is tied almost exclusively to his pass-catching ability. Unfortunately for him, the Colts have an easier matchup this week that should see an uptick in workload for veteran Marlon Mack.

Unless you play in a league with a Week 17 playoff round, which...no, no, no, stop it...then Week 7 represents the midway part of the fantasy football regular season, which feels shocking. It's gone so fast! But why has it gone so quickly? Football feels like it just barely returned and now it's already Week... Read More
