Missed time due to injury main cause to limit workload for now
HC Chuck Pagano: Marlon Mack has missed some time so not ready to be an every down or third-down back. Work in progress. (WTHR – Bob Kravitz)
Nerdy Football Analysis: There is no question Mack is electric, but Pagano likely wants him to learn to be a more disciplined runner. To that end, the rookie has been held to three yards or fewer on 18 of his 25 runs. Nevertheless, Pagano is going to have a hard time maintaining his current stance on Mack if Frank Gore continues to average 3.2 yards per carry. Mack is definitely worth a stash in leagues of all sizes, as his role only figures to grown from here on out.
