RB2 Woody Marks played on 100% of those snaps. He had the best run of his NFL career for a touchdown, prompting some Texans' beat reporters to tweet out that this could be a 50/50 split between Monty and Woody. That's music to my ears as a 2026 Monty fader. There are worse RB4 clicks than Marks right now. He's one of the few RB2s who could realistically overtake their backfield via performance rather than injury.

Marks' elite tape and pass protection suggest realistic path to 50/50 backfield split.

Marks had his best run of his NFL career for a touchdown in preseason Week 2, prompting Texans beat reporters to tweet about a potential 50/50 split with David Montgomery. The source is enthusiastic about Marks as a 2026 Montgomery fader, noting he's one of the few RB2s who could realistically overtake their backfield via performance rather than injury. Marks also stood out on pass protection, picking up a blitz on 3rd-and-4 and stonewalling the defender to allow a first down. The source projects Marks to play real snaps at the expense of Montgomery.
