Marlon Mack, Colts (4 Points)

In his second season with the Indianapolis Colts, Marlon Mack saw a major boost in production going from just 358 yards and one touchdown on 93 attempts his rookie year, to 908 yards and nine touchdowns on 195 attempts his second season.

On top of his production, Mack has arguably one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, led by Ryan Kelly and Quenton Nelson to play behind. Due to that production, Mack has secured the starting position for the 2019 season and can potentially secure it for years to come if he plays at a high level for a second straight season.

The only question with the Colts that will need to be answered is whether they will maintain a balanced offense like they did during the 2018 season, or will the addition of wide receiver Parris Campbell, plus tight end Eric Ebron coming off a big season, affect Mack’s production? Mack’s production last season has proven he can handle a bigger load as a work horse back and rise to the 1,000 yard rushing club.
