Marks had all 20 of Houston's official back opportunities (100.0%: 19 carries and 1 target) for 66 yards (3.5 per carry) and a 15-yard catch on 54 of 61 snaps (89%, up from 78%) in Week 7. He ran 15 of his 19 carries with a sixth lineman eligible, was 0-for-1 on 3rd-and-1, and had 2 red-zone carries for 1 yard; Hutchinson took the two closest runs and the TD. The source states: "Even if/when David Montgomery returns, I think Marks stays in the RB1 role. Hold him until Monty proves he is healthy."

Got two starts for the Texans, turning them into 10 and 9 PPR points; played 85%, 78%, and 89% of snaps in those games with 12, 10, and 9 points respectively. The issue with Marks as a starting running back is very similar to Charbanet—he just is not very good; Marks is one of the worst interior runners in the NFL. With David Montgomery likely coming back after the bye-week, Mattek does not see how you can feel good about Marks.

With Devin Singletary out, Woody Marks played the entire game on 89% of snaps with 19 rushes but only one catch for 15 yards. The Texans did not elevate a third running back (Duce Vaughn remained on the practice squad), leaving Marks as the only backup option. The source notes Marks limped off at one point but returned. Despite the gargantuan workload, the source emphasizes that Marks is not a very good player, creating a quality-of-player concern.

Woody Marks is a flex play option this week given the Texans' heavy favorite status over the New York Giants, and should be jammed into lineups. However, he is identified as a potential cut candidate despite possible good performance because the Texans enter a bye in week eight and David Montgomery should be good to go in week nine. With Montgomery's return and a running back by committee situation, Marks lacks the ceiling needed in an 8-team league, making him expendable for higher-upside options like Rashad White or Blake Corum. The source notes that Marks didn't look great heading into the Texans bye week.

Houston RB mentioned as alternative to Jacobs. Pros: no competition for touches, Houston likely to get up big vs. NY (collapsed defense allowed ~175 rushing yards to NO in week 6). Cons: not a great RB by any means; Houston OL also poor. One detailed comment: 'Marks because at least I've seen what he has to offer this season. Jacobs coming in having not taken a snap this season, I need to see it.' Floor play vs. Jacobs' ceiling play.

Last week, Woody Marks finished with 17 touches and 81 total yards with a 77.8% snap rate and should be Houston's workhorse again this week. Marks had a 60% route share and 8.8% target share, finishing as RB22 for the week. Among 39 qualifying rushers, Marks ranks 14th in yards after contact per attempt and ninth in missed tackle rate. Derek Brown projects Marks as a strong RB2 this week with RB1 upside. New York has allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, ninth-highest rushing success rate, and ninth-highest yards after contact per attempt.

With David Montgomery sidelined by groin injury for a second straight week and Jawhar Jordan placed on IR, Marks is positioned as the clear lead back for Houston vs. the Giants. Dare Ogunbowale has played primarily on special teams with just a 2% snap share, leaving Marks and Ogunbowale to handle RB duties. Marks has been the lead back over the past two weeks with a 61% carry share in both contests, and could see a bigger step forward in Week 7 given the absence of competition. The Texans are 10.5-point favorites vs. the Giants starting J.J. McCarthy, creating a favorable game script for Marks to chew the clock in the second half. The source rates him as an RB2 with RB1 upside.

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.
