Fantasy Football Outlook: Colts vs Jaguars
The Colts and Jaguars could be locked into a low-scoring game on Sunday afternoon, but there are still a few viable fantasy football options on each roster.
Running Back Marlon Mack
Marlon Mack‘s involvement in the offense has been inconsistent in his rookie season as he only saw two carries in last week’s loss to the Titans.
If he can get some touches on Sunday, he’s got a favorable matchup against the NFL’s 31st-ranked run defense. The Jaguars‘ defensive ends and linebackers are outstanding against the pass, but they struggle stuffing the run and Mack can take advantage of that if he’s given the opportunity this week.
Wide Receiver Donte Moncrief
Donte Moncrief is coming off of his best performance of the year as it looks like he is finally on the same page with Jacoby Brissett.
After dropping an early touchdown pass, Moncrief rebounded to set a season-high in receptions (5) and yards (67). He’s always a threat in the red zone, and he’ll look to build on last week’s game with another strong outing on Sunday.

The Jaguars have force-fed their rookie running back the ball during the early part of this 2017 season.
Fournette has had 20 or more carries in four of the Jaguars’ first six games, and he has at least one reception in every game thus far. He’s run for over 130 yards in each of the last two games, and should see plenty of action against a Colts run defense that has been up and down this year.
