Scouting report

IND RB Marlon Mack - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Marlon Mack was a semi-bright spot in a forgettable loss to the Dolphins last week, gaining 82 yards on 19 carries and a reception. Mack has only found the end zone three times this season, but he’s averaging 21.2 touches per game, giving him a high floor every game.

Fantasy owners should have Mack active this week as a fringe RB1 against the Jaguars. It should be a tough, grind-it-out game between two strong rushing attacks and Jacksonville ranks 21st in aFPA to opposing running backs. Mack is a safe option and he should be in all fantasy lineups every week.

IND RB Marlon Mack - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Miami Dolphins

Marlon Mack had 89 yards on 21 carries against the Steelers last week as the Colts lost a tight game that ultimately came down to a missed field goal at the end. Mack has been pretty steady all year, and while he’s only found the end zone three times this season, he’s averaging 21.25 touches and 93.4 yards per game, giving him a high floor each week as a solid RB2 option.

This week, Mack has RB1 upside against the Dolphins who rank dead last in aFPA to opposing running backs this year. While the Miami offense has shown a little life in recent weeks, making scores less lop-sided, they’re still struggling to compete on defense and have lost key players on both sides of the ball to injuries. Mack is a must-start this week in a great matchup and should be active in all league formats.

IND RB Marlon Mack - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Marlon Mack had a nice game against the Broncos last week as the Colts eked out a close win in a low-scoring affair. He finished with 76 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries and he added a 14-yard reception to his totals. Mack has been steady for much of the season, particularly when it comes to workload. He’s had double-digit touches in every game this year, with only one game with less than 18 total touches.

This week, Mack faces a Steelers defense that has actually been pretty stout against the run. They rank fifth in aFPA to opposing running backs and just two weeks ago they held Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler to a combined 32 yards on 13 carries. The Colts should do an effective job keeping the game close, so Mack should have a high enough floor to warrant RB2 consideration in most leagues, but this definitely isn’t the week to expect huge numbers from the Colts’ bell cow.

IND RB Marlon Mack - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Denver Broncos

Marlon Mack had only 56 total yards from scrimmage last week against the Texans, but he caught three passes and carried the ball 18 times. His workload makes him a solid starter in any given week, although it’d be nice to see him find the end zone more. He has only two touchdowns this season, despite averaging 21.5 total touches per game.

This week, Mack faces a Denver defense that has been fantastic against the pass but ranks only 17th in aFPA to opposing running backs this year. Expect the Colts to lean on him once again as they try to dictate the game by emphasizing the run, making him a solid RB2 option in all league formats. Mack is a little more appealing in standard leagues, as he’s only caught 10 passes all year, but he should put up numbers in any format.

IND RB Marlon Mack - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Houston Texans

Despite rumors of injury, Marlon Mack got a full workload against the Chiefs before the bye last week, rushing for 132 yards on 29 carries. Mack has been a workhorse for the Colts, and he’s on pace for 323 carries and 1.504 rushing yards. While he’s only been targeted nine times in the passing game so far this year, his consistent workload running the ball gives him a high floor each week.

This week, Mack will face a Texans defense that ranks 13th in aFPA to opposing running backs and is eighth in points scored per game on offense. That makes it likely the Colts will need to throw the ball, which could limit Mack’s touches. That being said, he’s still the main back in the offense and should have a high enough floor to be a solid RB2 in all leagues.

IND RB Marlon Mack - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Kansas City Chiefs

Marlon Mack was limited to 11 carries and 39 yards last week against the Raiders as the Colts got down early and ended up needing to fight to get back into the game. While it’s not concerning that Mack got only 11 carries in a situation where the team needed to throw the ball 46 times, it is a little concerning that Mack was off the field for much of the fourth quarter. We knew Mack was primarily a two-down player, but this is demonstrable evidence of the fact.

This week, Mack has a good matchup against the Chiefs, but if they Colts get down early again, we could see another day with fewer touches. Mack is worth starting as an RB2 and he has a ton of potential after Mark Ingram and Kerryon Johnson both ran all over Kansas City the past two weeks, but fantasy owners should be a little wary of the way the game goes. If the Chiefs get up early, Mack might get pulled again.

IND RB Marlon Mack - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Oakland Raiders

Marlon Mack went into the Falcons matchup last week labeled questionable, but he ended up starting and getting 18 touches, including a pair of receptions, for 88 yards and a touchdown. Mack is averaging 21.7 touches per game so far this season and he’s found the end zone twice in three outings. He looks like a safe bet for consistent production each week and should be especially reliable in standard leagues.

This week, Mack faces a Raiders defense that surprisingly ranks fourth in our aFPA to running backs, but was torched by Dalvin Cook last week. Of course, everyone gets torched by Dalvin Cook. If the Raiders struggle offensively as they did a week ago, the Colts will likely give Mack well over 20 carries, making him a strong fantasy option in all league formats. We have him as a top-10 back this week.
