Woody Marks is ranked RB5 in this superflex mock draft at pick 13.6, showing later-round running back valuation in two-QB league formats.NegativeRoleJul 31, 2026
The second-year back is expected to receive a decent number of reps with running backs coach Danny Barrett recently saying "He's going to get lots of opportunities" and noting his role will include third downs, special teams, and kickoff returns, with emphasis on the passing game. Lauded for being a versatile receiving threat in college, the 25-year-old could flirt with upward of 30 catches, but Montgomery remains the best fantasy bet in the Texans backfield.NegativeProjectionJul 30, 2026

Marks should still have a role in Houston's backfield behind David Montgomery, though the Texans' weak O-line that finished last in run block win rate could limit overall backfield production.PositiveValueNo date
Marks is going 42nd among running backs and is expected to maintain a meaningful role in Houston as a change-of-pace and passing-down back. His potential spike in receiving work will better use his skill set, making him a relative value for the price tag in PPR leagues. He was a considerably better receiving back in the eight games he played behind Nick Chubb to begin last season, averaging 5.2 fantasy points per game on passing plays with a 20.8% target share, compared with 2.7 and 12.6% after he took over as the starter.
