Marlon Mack will not play in Colts' preseason opener

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills.

What It Means:

With Mack firmly entrenched in the RB1 spot for the Colts, the back will sit out on Thursday as they try to keep the back fresh. Mack was hurt in the preseason opener last season and missed nearly the first month of the regular season. Jordan Wilkins, Jonathan Williams, Nyheim Hines, and D'Onta Foreman will handle the running back duties against the Bills.

Our models project Mack as the RB18 in fantasy this season with 1,294.6 total yards and 9.2 touchdowns on 260.0 touches in 2019.
