Fantasy Football Outlook: Colts at Bills
By Andrew Ites
The Colts and Bills are set for a Week 14 matchup in Buffalo on Sunday. Here are a couple of players that could help you move on in the fantasy football playoffs.
Running Back Marlon Mack
Marlon Mack was one of our fantasy picks for last week’s game against the Jaguars, and he racked up 54 yards from scrimmage which was his highest total since Week 8.
Even though Frank Gore remains the top running back in the Colts’ offense, Marlon Mack has made the most of his touches this season.
Mack faces an advantageous matchup against a Bills defense that ranks 29th in the league against the run according to Football Outsiders. Those numbers have been even worse since the Bills traded away their talented defensive tackle Marcell Dareus.
We’ve been waiting for a huge game from Marlon Mack ever since he gained 93 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers in Week 5. This could be the game that solidifies Mack as the running back of the future for the Colts.

With the Bills’ atrocious run defense we might as well load up on both Colts running backs this week.
Gore is coming off of one of his most efficient games of the year as he gained 61 yards on 13 carries, which was good for 4.69 yards per carry. The Colts were forced to move away from the running game after falling behind against the Jaguars, but that shouldn’t be as big of a problem this weekend against the Bills.
Let’s hope Frank Gore continues to move up the all-time rushing lists and pick up some fantasy points on Sunday.
