Outlook Woody Marks
Valuable Complementary Role Offers Safe PPR Bench Depth
Woody Marks enters his second NFL season as a key backup in the Houston backfield, operating directly behind primary starter David Montgomery. After handling 212 carries as a rookie in 2025, Marks is projected for a more complementary role this year. Our models project him for 120 rushing attempts, 490 yards, and three touchdowns on the ground.
Despite the lighter projected rushing workload, Marks maintains a solid receiving profile. He is projected to catch 23 passes on 23 targets for 180 yards and another score. This pass-catching efficiency keeps him relevant in PPR leagues, where his roster ownership remains high at 82% despite a starting rate of just 33%.
Draft market trends show Marks' ADP holding steady around pick 130 over the past month. This makes him a highly stable late-round target. Our projection of 113.7 fantasy points suggests he represents a safe bench value with immediate, high-end insurance upside if Montgomery misses time.

Outlook Kyle Monangai
Emerging Backup Offers High-Value Standalone Potential in Chicago's Rising Offense
He is the secondary back behind D'Andre Swift in an exciting Chicago offense that teammate Rome Odunze recently praised. Despite playing behind Swift, our projections expect Monangai to carve out a meaningful chunk of the ground game, anticipating 175 rush attempts for 789 yards and six touchdowns.
Over the past six weeks, Monangai's ADP has drifted from 71 down to 80. This slight slide in his draft cost makes him an attractive target in PPR formats. Rather than a falling asset, we view him as a prime value selection who can offer standalone utility while serving as an elite backup.
Firmly entrenched ahead of Roschon Johnson, he faces little threat for the secondary touches. While he caught 19 passes last year, we project 23 receptions on 30 targets. With a high roster rate near 78%, managers clearly value him as a high-upside bench stash.
