Marks is yet another rookie rusher who shined in 2025. Though he averaged just 3.6 yards per carry behind a suspect offensive line, Marks added much-needed toughness to Houston's backfield. He provided his signature performance in the team's playoff victory over Pittsburgh, as he rushed for a season-high 112 yards and a touchdown.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Marks grades 40th among RBs (68.8) with 3.6 YPC; playoff performance (112 yards, TD) shows upside.

PFF gave Marks a 68.8 overall grade in 2025, ranking him 40th out of 55 eligible running backs. He averaged 3.6 yards per carry behind a suspect offensive line but provided 'much-needed toughness' to Houston's backfield, highlighted by a season-high 112 yards and a touchdown in the playoff victory over Pittsburgh. The source suggests that if Marks ran behind an average offensive line, his yards-per-carry would likely be closer to 4.0, and notes that 3.6 is 'a positive play, if just barely.'
