8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 9

Marlon Mack, RB, Indianapolis Colts

It doesn't look like Marlon Mack is going to keep flying under the radar for long, and his usage continues to be incredibly promising.

Mack has now out-snapped Frank Gore in two consecutive games, playing 48% of the Indianapolis Colts' offensive snaps in Week 7 and 53% in Week 8, tallying 16 carries and 11 targets in those games.

That heavy passing-game work is especially relevant with the Colts being terrible this year. They're 13-point underdogs against the Houston Texans, and playing from behind will likely mean leaning on their pass-catching back more.

The Colts were also reportedly shopping Gore at the trade deadline. With no real incentive to stick with the 34-year-old on an expiring contract, Mack is likely to continue seeing his workload grow moving forward.
