Marlon Mack Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich has made it clear that running back Marlon Mack will carry the load in the backfield, with Nyheim Hines handling third-down duties and Spencer Ware battling with Jordan Wilkins and Jonathan Williams for the backup job. Ware was signed as a free agent this offseason. The 23-year-old Mack is the back to own in Indy after rushing 195 times for 908 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games in his second NFL season. If Mack can stay healthy for an entire season, he should eclipse 1,000 yards on the ground in this potent offense. Hines may struggle to see as many targets in the passing game with rookie Parris Campbell handling the slot, but he'll still be useful in PPR formats as a flex type.

The Indianapolis Colts believe that running back Marlon Mack is a bell-cow No. 1 back and would like him to continue leading their committee approach in 2019, which is also why the team didn't really pursue Le'Veon Bell on the open market. Mack finished last year with 908 rushing yards on 195 carries (4.66 yards per carry) in just 12 games (10 starts). He was able to reach 100 yards in four of those games. We think a lot of Marlon Mack, general manager Chris Ballard said. We think he can play on all three downs. We think he can carry the load. Behind an excellent offensive line in an offense on the rise, Mack is making a case to be in the RB1 picture in 2019.

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was looking to build on his solid performance in the Wild Card round, but he was unable to do so in the team's 31-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Mack finished the day with nine carries for 46 yards, which was an efficient day, but he just wasn't utilized enough to have a good game. Heading into next season, Mack will likely be the team's lead back, and, as long as he is able to stay healthy, he has the chance to be a solid RB2 all season long.
