Marlon Mack, RB, Indianapolis Colts

After missing the past two weeks with a shoulder injury, Marlon Mack returned in Week 5 and flashed his game-changing ability against the San Francisco 49ers, rushing 9 times for 91 yards and a touchdown. It was his second score of the season after scoring on a goal-line carry in Week 1.

Despite the impressive game, Mack remains well behind Frank Gore in terms of playing time. Gore was in for 39 snaps Sunday, while Mack only played 17. Mack was even out-snapped by Robert Turbin (21), although he out-carried Turbin 9 to 4. Gore led the team in carries with 14.

Despite the limited playing time, Mack has remained a factor in the two games in which he was healthy. Moving forward, we may begin to see the Colts using more of Mack and less of Gore.
