Stock up, stock down in Colts’ loss to Titans

Stock up: RB Jordan Wilkins

It seemed the Colts had the temporary replacement for Marlon Mack in the form of Jonathan Williams, who was trying to record his third-consecutive 100-yard game against the Titans. Despite that, he had a very short leash and the Colts weren’t afraid to take him out of the game.

Stepping in for Williams was Wilkins, who has been dealing with some injuries that have kept him off the field. He came back strong to lead the backfield in snaps (44%) while also leading the unit in carries (11) and rushing yards (47).

It wasn’t an extremely explosive day for Wilkins but he showed he was definitely the hot hand in the backfield. It will be interesting to see if this gives him the starter’s role over Williams.
