Nyheim Hines gets six touches against the Bills.

Hines carried five times for 47 yards and added one reception for -5 yards in the Week 7 win. Marlon Mack (21 touches, 159 yards, two touchdowns) is the clear top back for the Colts right now, so Hines is more of a deep-league PPR FLEX at the moment.

Greg Olsen scores game-winning touchdown as Panthers shock the Eagles in Philadelphia, 21-17.

Olsen caught two passes for five yards, including a one-yard touchdown as he found himself wide open on a play-action pass to complete Carolina’s comeback with 21 unanswered points. The veteran has been mostly contained since his return, but he remains a midrange TE1 that could be relied on more in Week 8 against a stingy Baltimore cornerback group.

Marlon Mack totals 159 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7.

Coming off an 89-yard performance in Week 6, Mack continues to play extremely well now that he’s fully healthy from the hamstring injury that forced him to miss most of the first five weeks of the season. Mack carried 19 times for 126 yards and one touchdown along with two receptions for 33 yards and a touchdown against the Bills. The first score was a check-down in the flat that he took for 29 yards, and the second was on a walk-in 20-yard run in the fourth quarter. Buffalo was playing great run defense, but the Colts ran all over them in the victory. Remember, Colts owner Jim Irsay said during the summer that he could see Mack being a 1,500-yard guy, which indicates he heard good things about the second-year back from the coaching staff. Mack is certainly playing great right now, and he’s at least an excellent RB2 option next week against the Raiders.

Damiere Byrd caught one pass in Sunday’s win over the Eagles.

It went for eight yards. Byrd will make some plays, but he isn’t a recommended fantasy option as Carolina’s No. 6 receiver.

D.J. Moore caught three passes for 29 yards in Sunday’s win over the Eagles.

A Philly native, Moore saw five targets, but Curtis Samuel and Jarius Wright made an impact on fewer looks. Carolina’s first-round pick is unlikely to be a difference-maker from a fantasy perspective this season, and he should stay out of lineups next Sunday against the Ravens.

Andrew Luck throws four touchdowns in Colts’ win.

In a blowout victory over the Bills, the Colts were run-heavy, put Luck still did damage with four passing touchdowns—including three in the red zone. Luck hit T.Y. Hilton for two short touchdowns, Erik Swoope for a 17-yarder, and Marlon Mack for a 29-yarder on a check-down. Overall, Luck was 17/23 for 156 yards and four touchdowns. Luck remains an obvious QB1 against the Raiders in Week 8.

Torrey Smith comes up big in 21-17 victory over the Eagles.

Smith caught four passes for 61 yards, including three passes over Carolina’s final two drives, with the highlight being a 35-yard catch-and-run to help set up the team’s game-winning touchdown. The veteran deep threat has made plays in each of the past two weeks, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option heading into a matchup with the Ravens.
