Marlon Mack, RB, Indianapolis Colts

Marlon Mack's snaps were expected to increase last week, with Frank Gore's workload trending downward and Robert Turbin landing on the injured reserve, but his numbers were even more encouraging than expected. He led the Colts' backfield, playing 58% of the team's offensive snaps (compared to only 33% for Gore).

Mack saw a sizable workload on those snaps, with five carries and six targets, getting a lot of work in the passing game with the Colts playing from behind in a blowout loss.

This week's game is also likely to leave the Colts playing from behind as they are sitting as 10.5-point underdogs against the Bengals. That means we should once again see a healthy dose of Mack, who has been the most efficient fantasy scorer in the Colts' backfield this season.
