Marlon Mack, Indianapolis Colts, $7,000

Stats: 471 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns, 73 receiving yards, 1 touchdown (6 games)

Mack has been electric for the Indianapolis Colts offense since returning from a hamstring injury. Mack has scored five touchdowns in the past four games, along with 348 rushing yards and 67 receiving yards. Mack is on the rise and should be utilized from this point forward. He has a perfect Week 12 matchup against the Miami Dolphins’ lackluster 30th-ranked rush defense.

Mack has scored five touchdowns in six games played this season. We like those odds and we want to take full advantage of his upcoming matchup. Mack has averaged 103 yards from scrimmage the past four games, while averaging at least one touchdown to go along with his yardage. He is a must-play in all formats from here on out. Mack comes at a really cheap price too.

Mack will be at home once again facing a Dolphins defense that has allowed 142 rushing yards per game to opposing running backs this season. Mack has a great opportunity to roll out one of his best games of the 2018 campaign. The Colts have been on an absolute tear as of late. After starting 1-5, Indianapolis sits at 5-5 heading into Week 12. They are one of the hottest teams in the league and we need to take advantage of it.

Prediction: 120 rushing yards, 30 receiving yards, 2 total touchdowns
