Marks returns to third-down role with Montgomery arrival; limited upside.
Woody MarksRBHOU
Marks was thrust into the Texans' lead back role as a rookie when Joe Mixon missed the entire season with a foot injury and Nick Chubb appeared out of gas. However, he averaged only 3.6 yards per carry during the regular season and ranked 50th in yards after contact per attempt among running backs with at least 80 carries. With the Texans signing David Montgomery to be their lead back, Marks will slide back into the third-down role to which he is better suited. But a third-down role may not be especially lucrative in Houston, which has arguably the best defense in the league and figures to have run-friendly game scripts, making other running back dart throws more appealing.
