Training camp hasn't even started for every team yet, and I'm already seeing completely nonsensical narratives Based either on a cherry-picked clip or some beat report that contradicts common sense and everything we've researched throughout the offseason 1. Woody Marks is going to play some pseudo RB1b role 2. Marvin Harrison is washed and clearly has the YIPs 3. Tre' Harris is going to compete with Quentin Johnston for the WR2 role on Day 1 4. Jonathon Brooks is going to be the RB1 in Week 1...

This won’t be an even split everyone. I’m told David Montgomery will likely have slightly more here but the vision (and it’s early) is for Woody Marks to build on last season especially with the help of Montgomery and hopefully see a significant amount of reps. How that shakes out? TBD Woody played last year bc he was their best guy. By all account, Montgomery is leading on and off the field and that benefits the young guys. [Retweeted](

Marks is secondary back and pass-catching specialist, not a threat to Montgomery's workload. Cited weaknesses: poor pass pro, weak runner, bad in short yardage/red zone (Marks had very little competition last year but still gave way to Chubb and Ogunbowale; 36 targets to Chubb, 20 to Marks, 13 to Ogunbowale). Injury history heavily emphasized—multiple comments note Marks "went to the blue tent every game" last year, suggesting durability concerns. One comment: "As an ex-Woody Marks owner, this is nothing but smoke for Montgomery." Marks was T-5 for lowest yards before contact in NFL last year (bottom-3 O-line context). College background as pass-catcher noted but not translated to NFL rol...

How plugged in is this reporter to the Texans?! Pretty much everything we've heard this offseason, especially recently, has been to the contrary That Montgomery is the clear lead back, and Marks will be utilized almost exclusively as a pass-catching back and will get work some on Special Teams as well If this "news" drops Montgomery's ADP in Best Ball, I'll just click him more His ADP on ESPN is still extremely affordable regardless (72.1)

Very subtle mention here, but confirmation of Tank Bigsby as the locked-in handcuff RB2 to Saquon Barkley Still cheaper than Woody Marks and Isiah Pacheco who I view as having almost no standalone value Bigsby is the most talented of the 3

It looks like the ADP Rankings are exactly the same in this contests vs. the other ones Here are the most mispriced (undervalued) players IMO: **[Wide Receivers] ** Rashee Rice (WR11) Zay Flowers (WR14) Ladd McConkey (WR17) Makai Lemon (WR35) Chris Godwin (WR41) Michael Pittman Jr. (WR47) Wan'Dale Robinson (WR50) Stefon Diggs (WR57) **[Running Backs]** Chase Brown (RB10) Breece Hall (RB14) Cam Skattebo (RB19) Bhayshul Tuten (RB25) Jaylen Warren (RB28) Kenny Gainwell (RB37) Rachaad White (RB38...

The source does not believe Woody Marks is a good running back and is skeptical that beat reporters can convince him otherwise. While Marks could theoretically play on some third downs and might be involved as a pass catcher, the source views him as unlikely to significantly impact David Montgomery's usage or role. Any positive news about Marks (e.g., pass-catching involvement) may create draft board helium but should not suppress other Texans skill weapon values.

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.

Jim Coventry notes that Woody Marks is slated to be Houston's receiving back but expresses skepticism about his fit. Despite being a converted college receiver, Marks cannot block effectively and lacks rushing ability compared to Montgomery. Coventry expects Marks to spell Montgomery occasionally and potentially appear on third downs when the offense wants to pass, but Montgomery will remain the primary option. Dan Williamson agrees, noting Marks is not in the realm of Montgomery as a rusher.

NBC reports Marks adapting to expanded role with complementary rushing, increased receiving usage, and kick returns; community dismisses this as secondary to Montgomery. Marks is 27 (turning 28 next month), entering year 5. Comments emphasize he was terrible on goal line last season and not a good runner; Montgomery expected to get most RZ carries and early-down work. Kick-return duties viewed as fantasy liability, not asset. One comment notes Marks was desperation play for Houston; reason they traded for Montgomery. Marks seen as pass-catching complement only, with limited upside in redraft.

Texans' Woody Marks is "adapting smoothly" to a complementary role behind feature back David Montgomery, per @​AaronWilson_NFL Marks is reportedly expected to get plenty of opportunities through the passing game, on third downs, and as a kickoff returner.
