All Underdog Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden insights about Woody Marks
NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Marks played 89% of snaps as the lead back but managed only 66 yards on 19 carries (3.5 yards per carry) and caught one pass for 15 yards; another reception was negated by a holding penalty. Despite high snap participation, his efficiency was poor and red zone touches went to wide receivers, limiting his fantasy upside despite the volume.PositiveBreakoutOct 21, 2026
Woody Marks is considered a fringe RB1 due to his expected volume and favorable game script against the Giants. He has performed as the RB11 and RB19 in half-PPR scoring over the last two weeks without David Montgomery, and his receiving ability makes him a strong play if the Texans air it out.NegativeUsageOct 14, 2026
Woody Marks is a high-volume play, having played 56 of 57 snaps last week in the absence of David Montgomery. While he has an 11.6% carry rate of 10+ yards, he faces a difficult matchup against a Jaguars defense that allows the fewest rushing yards per game to RBs.PositiveUsageOct 7, 2026
Woody Marks is seeing increased usage in the Texans' backfield, now rotating in as early as the second drive. This shift into a split-backfield role with David Montgomery limits the fantasy ceiling for both players.PositiveValueSep 29, 2026
Woody Marks is a recommended waiver target who looks more explosive than David Montgomery; he has recorded six carries of 5+ yards on only 23 attempts and earned the goal-line role in week three.PositiveSleeperSep 7, 2026
Woody Marks is an excellent handcuff with potential for independent value, having shown improvement as a ball carrier and multiple top-20 weekly finishes last season. While he is owned in 49% of Yahoo leagues and may see a 60/40 backfield split with David Montgomery, the source remains skeptical of his standalone value due to insufficient passing-game usage.PositiveBreakoutAug 26, 2026
Woody Marks is showing improvement as a rusher in his second season. He has demonstrated the ability to catch passes and pass protect, and he is making noise in training camp, which could lead to a significant role in the Texans' backfield, potentially creating a 60/40 or 62/38 split with David Montgomery.PositiveUsageAug 24, 2026
Woody Marks is emerging as a significant threat to David Montgomery's workload, with reports indicating a near 50/50 carry split is possible. Marks has impressed in pass protection and preseason action, moving into a tier with Jordan Mason, Chris Rodriguez, and Rachaad White, while moving ahead of players like Tyjae Spears and Tyler Allgeier.NegativeUsageNo date
The Texans are expected to increase Woody Marks' workload moving forward, which threatens the backfield split for David Montgomery, as the team is already operating in a 50-50 snap share.PositiveRoleNo date
