The Colts have several good fantasy options on this team. And even though the Raiders are a mess, they have some good options too. Here is who you should start this week from that game.
If you started some Colts players last week, you were very happy with the results. They won 37-5 and almost every major fantasy players performed extremely well. Expect that to carry over to this week as they take on the Oakland Raiders.
Andrew Luck is a must start every week. Even though he only threw for 156 yards last week, he still had 4 touchdowns. He gets you points every week. He is also going against a relatively week secondary. Expect Luck to have a big week fantasy wise.
Marlon Mack should also be started. I made the mistake of leaving him on my bench last week. That was something I regret. He killed it last week, having a career high in rushing yards. He also scored twice. This week, he should have the same sort of success. Bench him at your own risk.
T.Y. Hilton should also be started this week. In his first game back in a couple of weeks, he scored two touchdowns. He should be able to have the same kind of output this week. Being Luck’s favorite target has advantages when it comes to fantasy.
Because Hilton is back, Eric Ebron got less looks last week. That might be the case moving forward, but Ebron should still be a viable start. He is a big target when the team gets within 30 yards of the end zone.
The Colts defense is also a good start here. The Raiders offense is a mess. They just traded their best offensive player this week, and put running back Marshawn Lynch on IR. There won’t be many players left to get points from.
As far as the Raiders go, Jared Cook might be the only player who would be worthy of a start. He is boom or bust though. Jalen Richard is also an option if you are put into a bind. But neither player looks to put up a lot of points.
Hopefully this advice helps you win your league this week!
