9. Marlon Mack, Indianapolis Colts

Average Draft Position: 11.10 (RB50)
Projected Fantasy Points: 54.76 (RB60)

While Frank Gore is well entrenched as the Indianapolis Colts' lead back, Robert Turbin is expected to serve as his primary backup. But, despite high praise from his offensive coordinator, it's the rookie Marlon Mack -- not Turbin (undrafted) -- going in the 11th round (11.10) of drafts.

For Mack, the ability to produce is there. He ran for three 1,000-yard seasons while at South Florida and will serve as a talented complement to Gore and Turbin in 2017. As such, we project him for 61 rushes, 22 receptions, 418 total yards, 2.3 scores on the season.
