Woody Marks Poised for Lead Duties in London Matchup vs. Jaguars

With lead back David Montgomery listed as doubtful due to a groin injury, Marks is positioned to helm Houston's backfield in London against Jacksonville. After logging 15 carries and four receptions last week, fantasy managers have rushed to start him, pushing his start rate up to nearly 60%.

Our projections slate Marks for 12.1 fantasy points, expecting roughly 16 carries for 54 rushing yards and active participation in the screen game. Houston enters as slight favorites, offering an ideal setup for Marks to anchor the ground attack as a reliable RB2 or high-end flex starter across all fantasy formats.

Outlook David Montgomery

David Montgomery Sidelined for London Matchup Against Jaguars

Montgomery did not travel with the Texans to London and has officially been ruled out for Week 6 against the Jaguars due to a groin injury suffered last week. Head coach DeMeco Ryans noted that the veteran running back is week-to-week, which leaves backfield duties to Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale for this neutral-site clash.

With our weekly projection assigning him 0 fantasy points, fantasy managers need to park Montgomery safely on benches this week. He previously displayed his scoring upside with a three-touchdown performance in his Texans debut, making him a priority stash. Fantasy managers should check back often for updates on his practice status heading into Week 7.
