Marlon Mack (RB, IND) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 48% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: It is amazing how quickly Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was mentally discarded by a sufficient number of owners for his ownership percentage to reach this level. Once it was clear that his problematic hamstring would keep him affixed to the sidelines as the regular season began, the collective overreaction coerced over 50% of potential owners to ignore him completely.

Now, he has returned to the lineup and should commandeer a healthy portion of the opportunities that will be dispersed to the Colts’ stable of running backs. Mack was allotted 11 touches in Week 2, while Wilkins and Nyheim Hines (5 touches/1 receiving touchdown) remained firmly in the mix. Even though Wilkins remains an inviting option to target, and Hines will continue to siphon opportunities, the presence of both rookies will not keep Mack from sustaining an adequate workload. Nor should it dissuade you from securing him for your roster.
