Mark Barron Should Play More In Week 6
After his first game action all season, Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) looks to expand his role moving forward. Head coach Sean McVay said Barron responded well to his first bit of playing time, and he should be even more active this week. The Rams run defense has struggled mightily this season. While...

Nyheim Hines Should Be Rostered In All PPR Leagues
Running back depth is absolutely brutal this season. When you can find a decent contributor this late into the season, you have to pick them up. Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines should be rostered in all PPR formats. While he doesn't contribute a lot in the ground game, he has quickly developed a... Read More
Chester Rogers A Good Option In Week 6
The Indianapolis Colts throw a lot, and with wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (chest) dealing with an injury, Chester Rogers is a good waiver wire option in Week 6. Rogers showed a connection with quarterback Andrew Luck in Week 5 and if it weren't for some drops, he would have had an even better game against the... Read More
Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp In Concussion Protocol
Two of the top three Los Angeles Rams wide receivers entered the concussion protocol Sunday afternoon.

Jordan Wilkins Effective In Week 5
Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins was efficient in Week 5 against the New England Patriots.

Wilkins finished the night with six carries for... Read More

Week 5 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
Week 4 saw several high scoring games for offenses around the league. When offenses score more points, kickers get more swings of the leg, which means they are scoring us more points. While some of the usual suspects were at the top of the charts, we some saw new faces like Matt McCrane and Ka'imi... Read More
Rams Pass Rush Takes Hit As Dominique Easley Hits IR
The Los Angeles Rams officially placed outside linebacker Dominique Easley (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. While their pass rush has been good the past couple of weeks, Easley returning was expected to improve that even more. The loss of Easley makes the team even thinner at the outside linebacker spot. Their defense is still... Read More
Jordan Wilkins Should Be Avoided In Week 5
After four weeks of football, Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins can't fall much further. Behind a suspect offensive line, he continues to lack production and is being thoroughly outdone by fellow rookie Nyheim Hines. Wilkins is the more natural running back, but that is not the type of player that this offense needs in... Read More
Nyheim Hines Has Flex Appeal In Week 5
Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has some flex appeal in PPR formats this week with veteran Marlon Mack (hamstring) expected to miss Thursday night's game against the New England Patriots. Hines burst onto the scene Sunday against the Houston Texans with nine catches and two touchdowns. While Hines doesn't have the best natural running... Read More
Jordan Wilkins Terrible In Week 4
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jordan Wilkins was the starter in Week 4 with veteran Marlon Mack (hamstring) out. He did not seize his opportunity with a very underwhelming day.

Nyheim Hines Lights It Up In Week 4
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines had his official coming out party in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.

Marlon Mack Out Against Texans
After being questionable coming into Sunday, Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) was announced to be out against the Houston Texans. Mack has been dealing with his injury since the preseason, and it continues to linger. When healthy, Mack is a low-end RB2 with limited upside in a committee backfield. Rookies Jordan Wilkins and...

Rams Receivers Should Remain Off The Bench
After Thursday nights showing against the Minnesota Vikings, the Los Angeles Rams wide receivers showed that they should not be benched. All three receivers, Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods, and Cooper Kupp, each scored at least 16 points in standard scoring formats. All three bring their own unique skill set to the table which makes them... Read More
Jared Goff A QB1 Moving Forward
Los Angeles Rams' quarterback Jared Goff was viewed as a system quarterback after last year's breakout under first-year head coach Sean McVay. However, he's proving this year that if he is indeed a system quarterback, then he's one of the best ever as he is on pace to set and break multiple records. His efficiency... Read More

Nyheim Hines Should Be Avoided In Week 4
After a Week 1 performance that saw him post 11 points in PPR formats, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines was an interesting topic around fantasy circles. However, after back-to-back weeks of next to no production, his stock continues to fall. If it weren't for a well-earned touchdown in Week 2, he would have nine... Read More
Jordan Wilkins Could See Increased Workload In Week 4
Despite rain and an ineffective passing offense, Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins only received six carries last week. While he wasn't highly effective, he should receive more attempts this week. The Houston Texans allowed New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley to average 4.8 yards per carry last week. In addition, veteran Marlon... Read More
Marlon Mack Has A Good Matchup In Week 4
Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring, foot) returned to practice Wednesday, and the hope is that he will be able to return in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.

Colts Defense Could Be A Sneaky Play In Week 4
In the past, the Indianapolis Colts defense has been a consistent bottom-five unit in the NFL. So far this season, they've actually fielded a much-improved group. They currently rank tied for fourth in the NFL with 10 sacks. Last season, they had 25 on the entire year. The Colts opponent on Sunday is the Houston... Read More

Brandin Cooks Solid In Week 3
After putting up 159 yards on seven catches in Week 2, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks came back to Earth a bit in Week 3, as he finished with seven catches for 90 yards. Cooks ranks second on the team in targets behind fellow wideout Robert Woods, and he showed up often in... Read More
Cooper Kupp Salvages Day With Big Play
Los Angeles Rams second-year wide receiver Cooper Kupp was headed for a mostly quiet day until he broke free for a 53-yard touchdown to salvage his day. Kupp isn't the fastest receiving threat on this team, but he does have the ability to break plays like this. His knack for scoring touchdowns keeps him fantasy... Read More
Robert Woods Has Huge Line In Week 3
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods led the team in targets through two weeks, and he took full advantage of his target share this week with a monster game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He finished with 10 catches for 104 yards and two touchdowns. While he isn't the big-play threat of fellow wideouts... Read More
Todd Gurley Continues Strong Season

He finished with 105 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries on the ground, while he added five catches for 51 yards. Gurley remains an elite option in all formats, and he is proving to be... Read More
Jared Goff Goes Big On Sunday
After putting up a lot of yards but no touchdowns last week, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff turned their red-zone trips into scores this week. He finished the day with 354 yards and three touchdowns. If it weren't for an interception in the end zone, his stat line would have been even gaudier. Goff... Read More
Nyheim Hines Limited On Wet Day In Philadelphia
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Nyheim Hines figured to see an increased workload with veteran Marlon Mack (hamstring, foot) out. However, due to struggles by the offense and bad weather, Hines didn't quite reach his ceiling in PPR formats. Hines' speed gives him some big-play ability, but he just didn't have that this week, as... Read More
Jordan Wilkins Disappears Against Eagles
Heading into the Sunday matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins was expected to have an increased workload due to the absence of veteran Marlon Mack and bad weather.

Nyheim Hines A Sneaky PPR Play
The Indianapolis Colts announced that running back Marlon Mack (foot, hamstring) will be inactive this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. While Jordan Wilkins should see the majority of touches this week, Nyheim Hines has some value in deeper PPR leagues. He doesn't have the same big-play ability that Mack does, but he gives quarterback Andrew... Read More
