NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
Woody Marks is part of a mailbag question comparing him to Ollie Gordon for the rest of the season; the source indicates this is a great question that will be addressed in the next segment.PositiveRoleOct 13, 2026
If the second running back is removed from the committee, most carries would go to Marks, giving him a bump in opportunity; Express Delivery notes the Houston Texans offense might see efficiency gains, and Marks could have flex value in 12-team leagues, though he's on the flex radar rather than a must-add.NegativeInjuryOct 13, 2026
Marks is dealing with a groin injury whose duration is uncertain, adding another layer of risk to his Week 6 outlook.NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
Marks will get the bulk of carries with Dario Agamboale serving as a change-of-pace back; however, last season he demonstrated he was not up to the task of being a primary full-time ball carrier, raising questions about his ability to sustain a lead-back role.NegativeProjectionOct 13, 2026
Despite a big workload against Jacksonville, Marks is touchdown-dependent with limited upside; he averaged 9.4 fantasy points per game last year with only one top-10 finish despite 220 touches and five touchdowns total. Jacksonville has allowed the fewest yards to running backs this season and just two rushing scores to the position, making him a risky flex at best in Week 6.NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
With David Montgomery doubtful and likely out, Woody Marks took over every single snap except for the kneel down in the previous game; Express Delivery will add Marks because he's more valuable than end-of-bench options, but does not want to start him in Week 6 against Jacksonville due to the matchup; Marks gets a 9:30 a.m. morning game; despite the role opportunity, there's risk given the Jacksonville defense and bye week context with multiple running back injuries across the league.PositiveRoleOct 12, 2026
With David Montgomery injured, Marks plays every snap and will be a heavily added waiver target this week; available in over 50% of leagues.PositiveRoleOct 12, 2026
Comes in to play every snap following David Montgomery's injury; will be a very heavily added waiver target this week and available in over 50% of leagues, with significant opportunity ahead.PositiveUsageOct 12, 2026
Woody Marks played every single snap once David Montgomery exited the game with a groin injury. He is available in over 50% of ESPN fantasy leagues, making him a potential waiver wire target for teams needing running back depth.PositiveRoleOct 5, 2026
Woody Marks got the goal-line touchdown in Week 4 against the Texans, indicating he is receiving red-zone opportunity share in the Houston backfield.PositiveRoleOct 2, 2026
Woody Marks is getting increased opportunity in the Texans backfield. He has 22 carries and 8 targets on 90 snaps, ahead of David Montgomery in targets. Marks also secured the goal-line carry last week, suggesting he's the preferred option in the red zone.NegativeUsageSep 16, 2026
Woody Marks played 36 snaps compared to David Montgomery's 37 in Week 1, indicating a significant role in the Lions' backfield. He was active in passing downs and two-minute situations, which the source notes is valuable for fantasy.NegativeRoleAug 28, 2026
The source takes a shot at Woody Marks in the context of the Texans' backfield, noting that the team lacked a featured running back last year (Joe Mixon did not exist for the team) and brought in David Montgomery to fill that void.PositiveSleeperAug 27, 2026
The source likes Marks as a sleeper because he has more juice than David Montgomery and adds as much, if not more, in the passing game, and may overtake Montgomery at some point. However, Mike Clay notes that while Marks got a lot of volume last year, the efficiency and fantasy production were not there, so he needs to play better this year. The key for Marks is that he needs volume in the pros and must improve his efficiency to deliver in fantasy; he had one top-10 finish and averaged 9.4 fantasy points per game last year.NegativeValueAug 19, 2026
Woody Marks is not viewed as a feature back, as the team likely would not have invested in David Montgomery if they believed Marks was the primary solution.NegativeValueAug 6, 2026
Woody Marks is in tier nine, a hold tier for just-in-case scenarios.
