From the episode
I've been taking Woody marks in so many drafts...he's a pretty good runner...he's getting 40% of the work and he's pretty good in scoring touchdowns...261 receptions...He's credible in blitz pickup. Montgomery is never going to be a bell cow on this team.
STACKED’s take
Marks' 3.6 YPC misleading; elite pass-catcher upside and Montgomery durability concerns justify late-round target.
JJ Zachariason lists Woody Marks as his number-three late-round player he loves, calling him a play towards what if Houston's offense is better than expected. Marks is undersized but understood the assignment and mostly didn't bounce everything outside; he took a lot of shots but is quick and a pretty good runner. Zachariason sees potential for Marks to be the third-down back and is skeptical that Dave Montgomery is a true three-down back at this stage. Zachariason is often taking Marks by himself, not just as a handcuff, betting on him getting 40% of the work and being pretty good in scoring touchdowns. He notes Marks is a bench spot that could become the number-one waiver wire pickup if Montgomery gets hurt. Zachariason emphasizes that Marks' 3.6 YPC last year is misleading—the entire Houston offense was terrible, the offensive line was a mess, and CJ Stroud had his worst game in the Patriots loss. Marks had 19 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown against Pittsburgh. Zachariason criticizes the narrative that Marks was terrible and needed to be replaced, noting he was a productive part of the Texans' playoff run. He also highlights Marks' college pedigree: 261 receptions over five years at Mississippi State, including 83 catches in one season, making him very comfortable in pass-game work and credible in blitz pickup.
