Outlook Woody Marks
Expanded Receiving Role and Contingency Value Make Him an Intriguing Late-Round Target
Entering his second NFL campaign, Woody Marks is positioned as the primary change-of-pace option behind David Montgomery in Houston's backfield. After showcasing physical running in the preseason and working extensively on his route tree, Marks offers standalone utility as a versatile pass catcher.
Our season projections expect Marks to share the workload effectively, forecasting 140 carries for 585 yards and 25 catches for 190 yards, totaling 126.0 fantasy points. While he handled 212 carries as a rookie, his dialed-back volume should improve his per-touch efficiency.
Market sentiment has cooled considerably, with his ADP sliding from around 130 in mid-August to 178 heading into September. With fantasy managers hesitating, our projections view his plummeting draft price as a prime value steal in 1.0 PPR formats for a high-end handcuff with pass-down upside.

Outlook Kareem Hunt
Free-Agent Status Leaves Veteran Role in Limbo
Kareem Hunt enters the 2026 campaign as an unsigned free agent, though interest remains alive after he visited the Detroit Lions in late August. At 31 years old and entering his ninth season, the veteran is waiting for the right opportunity to latch onto an active backfield rotation.
Over the past two seasons in Kansas City, Hunt handled significant early-down volume, tallying 200 carries in 2024 and 193 carries across 18 games in 2025. While his efficiency hovered below 4.0 yards per carry, he demonstrated a reliable floor between the tackles and in short-yardage situations.
Fantasy managers have moved on during his market standoff, with his roster rate plunging from over 60% down to 3% over the past month. Until he officially signs and finds a pathway to weekly touches, Hunt is purely a watch-list asset or deep-league contingency stash.
