PositiveRoleOct 24, 2026
Woody Marks is effectively the sole running back for the Houston Texans; the source notes this is unusual because even backup running backs like Hubbard typically get some snaps, but Marks might be the only running back to get a touch in the game.PositiveProjectionOct 24, 2026
Woody Marks is the obvious play this week with David Montgomery out and Houston a 10-point favorite. While the appeal is not TD equity (Houston cannot run the ball efficiently and Marks is not an efficient runner), he will catch a lot of passes and get red zone opportunities. The next man up, Daria Gumbawale, is a satellite back, so Marks will get green zone opportunities and likely score. Even without a touchdown, he should put together 15 fantasy points piece by piece.NegativeRoleOct 23, 2026

Woody Marks was most degraded by the matchup against Houston's elite front seven; he only had three targets and failed to convert them into meaningful fantasy production, scoring just 10 fantasy points in a game where he needed to produce as a receiver like Breece Hall did.PositiveRoleOct 18, 2026
Slasher out of Houston with great play style; moves well every time he touches the ball and can catch it well; plays as a complementary back to Montgomery but would be pretty good if Montgomery went down to injury, especially with receiving volume; source saw him get starting role work last year and likes him as one of the better handcuffs in this range.NegativeMatchupOct 17, 2026
Fade against Jacksonville Jaguars, who have allowed just 210 rushing yards and 2 TDs to opposing running backs through five weeks, with only 30 receptions allowed (11 from Chase Brown in one week, leaving just 19 over four other weeks). Ranked RB 21; touchdown-dependent with potential finish outside top 40 if he doesn't score.PositiveSleeperOct 12, 2026
Woody Marks is a high-priority waiver wire add who possesses an all-purpose skill set similar to Will Shipley. Following David Montgomery's groin injury, Marks played every meaningful snap.

Justin Mello suggests that even if you are against drafting a specific player, you should not remove them from your board entirely; if a player like Woody Marks falls four rounds past his ADP, he becomes a value that should be considered.PositiveValueAug 18, 2026
Woody Marks is viewed as a viable late-round pick with standalone value. JJ Zachariason believes Marks is a strong pass-catcher who could see 175 touches, noting that his previous usage as an early-down thumper was a misuse of his skillset.NegativeBustAug 5, 2026

Marks is not a threat to David Montgomery's workload in Houston. The source describes him as one of the older prospects in last year's running back class and notes he had only a couple of usable weeks. Marks should be treated as a handcuff to Montgomery at best, not as a handcuff-plus or standalone upside play.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
Per Jane Slater reporting, Woody Marks will not earn a timeshare in the backfield, limiting his fantasy upside in a committee situation.PositiveBreakoutJul 18, 2026

Marks was a nothing burger in the red zone; Houston did not trust him to pound the rock in the red zone, signaling David Montgomery will get goal-line and red zone work instead.PositiveValueJun 13, 2026
The analyst advocates for grabbing Woody Marks at the tail end of the running back tier, noting that after Marks and Tracy there is a huge drop-off in RB quality, making late-round RB selection more important than roster construction.NegativeRoleNo date
Jim Coventry notes that Woody Marks is slated to be Houston's receiving back but expresses skepticism about his fit. Despite being a converted college receiver, Marks cannot block effectively and lacks rushing ability compared to Montgomery. Coventry expects Marks to spell Montgomery occasionally and potentially appear on third downs when the offense wants to pass, but Montgomery will remain the primary option. Dan Williamson agrees, noting Marks is not in the realm of Montgomery as a rusher.
