Marlon Mack Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said on Sunday that the team isn't pursuing a long-term contract extension with running back Marlon Mack currently. It doesn't mean that it's not on the table or that the Colts don't want to keep Mack around for the long-term, but it's not a pressing issue. The 23-year-old (24 next month) is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2020 season. He's been the starter the last two years and had 247 carries for 1,091 yards and eight touchdowns in 2019. However, he's also missed eight games the last two seasons, so Indy might be hesitant in thinking he'll continue to be a lead back for years to come. Mack does have a strong offensive line in front of him, but he'll be more of a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 going into the final year of his contract in 2020.

The Indianapolis Colts have had contract-extension talks with running back Marlon Mack, according to an NFL source. Talks are expected to heat up later this month at the combine. The soon-to-be 24-year-old is coming off his first 1,000-yard season and is set to make $2.25 million in 2020, the final year of his rookie contract. He led the team with 1,091 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 247 carries (4.4 yards per carry) in a career-high 14 games. Mack is relatively young and has far less tread on his tires than some of his contemporaries in the league, so he could be rewarded with a handsome contract as the bell cow of this backfield. And he could be even more productive in 2020 if he stays healthy and the Colts upgrade at quarterback on the free-agent market.

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack took advantage of a great matchup in Week 16 en route to a big day. He had 16 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown, and he caught both of his targets for six yards. Mack cleared the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career, and this was the workhorse back that fantasy owners have been looking for all season. Behind this great offensive line, Mack has the ability to remain a steady fantasy back for years to come.
