Marlon Mack Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was a workhorse in Week 5 with 29 carries and 32 total touches. However, he wasn't able to punch the ball into the end zone. In Week 7, he should get some opportunities to carry the ball, but his workload is almost guaranteed to be lower. The Houston Texans are allowing just 88 yards on the ground at 4.4 yards per carry. They have a stout front and their team has been rolling as of late. Mack is the clear lead back for Indianapolis, and he belongs in your lineup. However, it is wise to temper expectations on his upside this week.

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack came into the game nursing an ankle injury, but he showed no signs of being limited in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He led the team with 29 carries for 132 yards, and he added three carries for 16 yards. The key for Mack has always been to receive a high volume of carries. He received over 30 touches on the night, and he made them pay off. Head coach Frank Reich would love to win games like this all season, so it wouldn't be surprising for this to happen to Mack on a weekly basis.

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) is still listed as a game-time call for the Sunday night meeting with Kansas City. Mack practiced in full on Friday after not participating in the two previous days prior. With Mack's status being uncertain and the team expected to remain cautious, fantasy managers may want to make adjustments soon if he isn't able to go, which includes looking to Jordan Wilkins or Nyheim Hines as potential Week 5 replacements (if either is available). Regardless, don't expect much out of any of them as the Colts may be forced to throw often against the offensively-sound Chiefs' offense.
