Mack (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Mack injured his hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, and he was not expected to recover in time to play Week 18 against the Chargers. His move to IR ensures he won't, while also creating room for cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian to be added to the active roster. Mack's season will end with him having appeared in eight games, two with the 49ers and six with the Broncos, seeing 16 carries for 84 yards and a touchdown. He also caught eight of his 10 targets for 99 yards and another touchdown.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Not expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Mack is expected to miss the Broncos' season finale against the Chargers on Sunday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Per Klis, Mack injured his hamstring on a kickoff return at the start of the Broncos' Week 17 loss to the Chiefs. With Mack reportedly not in line to play this coming weekend, Tyler Badie figures to suit up versus Los Angeles and log complementary snaps behind Latavius Murray and Chase Edmonds.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Injures hamstring Sunday
Rotowire
Mack suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Kansas City.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Minimal involvement in loss
Rotowire
Mack rushed four times for 22 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Mack was unable to secure his lone target in the contest. With Chase Edmonds making his return from injured reserve, Mack was relegated to No. 3 running back duties Sunday. The veteran played just 10 of the Broncos' 67 offensive snaps, while Latavius Murray and Edmonds handled a near even split of playing time with 31 and 28 snaps, respectively. Mack's lack of involvement on an already struggling offense should keep him far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 17.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Week 16 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mack has scored 15 PPR points in each of his past two games and is the handcuff to Latavius Murray. He's had at least five touches in each of the past two outings against the Chiefs and Cardinals, including six catches on seven targets over that span. In deeper leagues, Mack could be a flex option, including for Week 16 at the Rams.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Finds end zone again
Rotowire
Mack rushed five times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-15 win over Arizona. He added four receptions on four targets for 26 yards.
Mack worked clearly behind Latavius Murray in the Denver backfield, recording only nine touches compared to Murray's 25. However, Mack was able to provide a few explosive plays, highlighted by a three-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and a 17-yard run early in the fourth. While Mack's role remains relatively minimal, he is the clear backup running back in Denver and has scored in consecutive contests.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Week 15 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mack is now the No. 2 running back in Denver with Mike Boone (ankle) out, and he could start taking away work from Latavius Murray, who has struggled as the starter. In Week 14 against the Chiefs, Mack had three carries for 15 yards, along with two catches for 62 yards and a touchdown on three targets. In deeper leagues, Mack is worth 1 percent of your remaining FAB heading into a favorable matchup against Arizona in Week 15.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Dazzling TD in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Mack carried the ball three times for 15 yards and caught two of three targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 loss to Kansas City.
The veteran back didn't see action until Mike Boone was carted off with an ankle injury in the second quarter, but Mack capitalized on his opportunity by taking a screen pass from Russell Wilson (concussion) 66 yards for a TD on the Broncos' first possession of the second half. It was Mack's first trip to the end zone since 2019, his final healthy season with the Colts, and the explosiveness he flashed on the touchdown was certainly reminiscent of that 1,000-yard campaign. Regardless of Boone's availability Week 15 against the Cardinals, Mack could push Latavius Murray for touches in the Denver backfield after this performance.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Minimal involvement in loss
Rotowire
Mack rushed two times for three yards and secured his only target for six yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens.
Mack played just five of the Broncos' 53 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 3 running back. The veteran recorded two rushes and one catch in each of his first two games with Denver. With Latavius Murray dominating touches out of the backfield and Mike Boone slotting in as the team's top backup, Mack's opportunities for meaningful production should remain limited going forward. Barring injuries to Murray and Boone, the 26-year-old should be far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 14.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Handles two carries in loss
Rotowire
Mack rushed two times for seven yards and secured his only target for five yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Panthers.
Mack played just six of Denver's 60 offensive snaps in his debut with the Broncos, operating as the backup to Latavius Murray. The veteran running back's three touches out of the backfield were a distant second behind Murray's 14 touches in the contest. Mack's limited upside in a struggling offense could be capped even more with Mike Boone's possible return from injured reserve in Week 13. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old Mack will try to establish himself as a contributor in the Broncos' new-look running back rotation in a Week 13 matchup against the Ravens, though he faces an uphill battle to fantasy relevance.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Should have role in Denver debut
Rotowire
Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Mack will have a role in the game plan in Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. "He's going to have to go in there and take advantage of this opportunity...he's got a little extra burst," Hackett said of Mack.
Denver signed Mack off San Francisco's practice squad Oct. 24, but the veteran running back has been a healthy inactive for each of the Broncos' subsequent three contests. However, with the Broncos waiving Melvin Gordon and placing Chase Edmonds (ankle) on injured reserve in recent days, Mack looks set to operate as the primary backup to starter Latavius Murray in Week 12. Though Murray projects to see most of the touches out of the backfield, he's averaging just 3.3 yards per carry through five games with Denver, so his grasp on the lead role would appear to be weak. With that in mind, Mack could have the chance to displace Murray atop the depth chart if he takes advantage of the opportunities he receives Sunday. However, both Murray and Mack could be challenged for work as soon as Week 13, when Mike Boone (ankle) is eligible to return from IR.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Could be Week 12 backup
Rotowire
Mack is likely to work as the backup to Latavius Murray in Week 12 against the Panthers, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Mack slides up to second on the depth chart following the cut of Melvin Gordon and Chase Edmonds' high-ankle sprain. Devine Ozigbo is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad against Carolina to compete with Mack for playing time behind Murray. Mack has yet to register a rushing attempt in 2022.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Not playing Week 8
Rotowire
Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Though Mike Boone's (ankle) recent move to injured reserve opens up a spot for a third running back in Denver, Mack looks like he'll have to wait until after a Week 9 bye to make his Broncos debut after he was signed off the 49ers' practice squad Monday. Mack's lack of utility on special teams may have been a factor in him sitting out in London, as the Broncos are opting to keep Devine Ozigbo active in London as the No. 3 option behind Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray.

Broncos' Marlon Mack: Could play in Week 8
Rotowire
Mack could garner some snaps in the Broncos' backfield in Week 8 against the Jaguars, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Mack was signed to the Broncos' active roster Monday after the team acquired him from the 49ers' practice squad, and head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that the running back is "definitely an option" to play Sunday versus Jacksonville. Mack will likely operate as the third fiddle behind Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray in Week 8, greatly limiting his upside.

Marlon Mack: Time with 49ers ends
Rotowire
Mack was released by San Francisco on Tuesday.
Mack signed to the 49ers' practice squad Sept. 13, and he ultimately made it to the active roster in Week 3 and 4, but he only contributed five snaps on special teams. He was a healthy inactive Week 5, as the team opted to elevate Tevin Coleman from the practice squad to operate as the team's No. 3 running back instead. Mack has had trouble finding a steady role since suffering an Achilles tear in Week 1 of the 2020 season.

49ers' Marlon Mack: Healthy inactive Week 5

Mack (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 clash against the Panthers.
The veteran back garnered active status for the last two games but logged only a combined five special-teams snaps, and he'll now sit out altogether Sunday. In his stead, Tevin Coleman, who was promoted from the practice squad Saturday, will serve as the No. 3 running back behind Jeff Wilson and Jordan Mason against Carolina.

49ers' Marlon Mack: No touches in first game with SF
Rotowire
Mack was only on the field for three special teams snaps in Sunday's 11-10 loss to Denver.
Mack was signed from the practice squad to replace the injured Tyrion Davis-Price and serve as the team's third back. The former Colt didn't get involved in the offensive game plan, but the veteran's track record of success (1,999 combined rushing yards and 17 touchdowns in 2018 and 2019) could see him jump ahead of undrafted rookie Jordan Mason (five offensive snaps) as Jeff Wilson's backup while Davis-Price recovers from an ankle injury. Neither backup is worth rostering in fantasy so long as Wilson and Deebo Samuel dominate the backfield touches in San Francisco.

49ers' Marlon Mack: Signed to San Fran's active roster
Rotowire
The 49ers signed Mack to the active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Mack will get the promotion after news broke that rookie third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) will be sidelined for a few weeks. The team already lost Elijah Mitchell (knee) to injured reserve, so Mack will compete with undrafted rookie Jordan Mason for backup snaps behind Jeff Wilson. The former Colt has amassed at least 1,000 yards from scrimmage twice in his career, but he's struggled to stick in the NFL since he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in September 2020.
