Marlon Mack rushes for 29 yards against Rams

Marlon Mack carried the ball eight times for 29 yards in Friday night’s 24-20 win over the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Mack received an expanded opportunity Friday night, with Texans head coach Lovie Smith keeping training camp star Dameon Pierce on the sidelines. Mack has flashed fantasy value in the past, and should be looked at as a late-round flier, especially for anyone who selects Pierce as the backfield situation becomes more clear.
