Marlon Mack Only Playable If Latavius Murray Sits
2 years agoDenver Broncos running back Marlon Mack has scored in back-to-back weeks now after previously not finding the end zone since 2019 with the Indianapolis Colts. However, unless lead back Latavius Murray (foot) is limited or unable to play entirely on Christmas Day against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16, Mack won't have standalone fantasy value. The 26-year-old running back has been more involved in recent weeks behind Murray, carrying the ball eight times for 52 yards and a touchdown while adding six receptions on seven targets for 88 yards and another score. Even if Murray is unable to play this weekend, Mack would profile as more of a touchdown-dependent RB2/3 in Denver's low-scoring offense against a Rams defense that has allowed only 104.5 rushing yards per game (fourth-fewest in NFL).
