Woody Marks at Tennessee: Carving Out Committee Value in Favorable Script

Operating as the direct backup behind David Montgomery, Marks continues to see steady touches in Houston's backfield. With British Brooks on injured reserve and reports pointing toward an expanded role, Marks enters Week 5 completely healthy. He has quietly scored rushing touchdowns in consecutive games, carving out a noticeable slice of the goal-line opportunities.

Our weekly projection anticipates roughly 8.7 fantasy points on eight carries and two targets against Tennessee. With Houston favored in what looks to be a low-scoring divisional slog, game script should provide plenty of rushing volume. Currently started in just 14% of leagues, he remains a touchdown-dependent flex or deep-league play.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt vs. Giants — Questionable Tag Clouds Lead Back Outlook

Croskey-Merritt is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup after being limited in practice with a groin issue. He remains atop Washington's backfield depth chart ahead of Rachaad White, but fantasy managers must check back prior to kickoff for official active status updates.

Washington enters as a 4-point home favorite, setting up potential positive rushing script, yet his efficiency has dipped to just 1.8 yards per carry over his last two outings. Our projections anticipate roughly 13 carries for 41 rushing yards and 8.8 fantasy points, cementing him as a volatile flex option.
