Outlook Woody Marks
Woody Marks Steps Into Lead Role Against Jaguars in London
With starter David Montgomery ruled out due to a groin injury, Marks elevates into Houston's lead backfield role against Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium. The second-year back already saw expanded work in his previous outing with 15 carries and four receptions, cementing his position ahead of Dare Ogunbowale on the depth chart.
Our weekly projection pegs Marks for roughly 16 carries, 55 rushing yards, and over two receptions (12.2 fantasy points). Fantasy managers have taken note, pushing his start rate over 60%, and you should feel confident slotting him into lineups as a reliable RB2 with a steady touch floor.

Outlook Alvin Kamara
Alvin Kamara @ NYG — Questionable tag clouds backfield opportunity
Kamara is officially questionable after being limited in practice with a back injury heading into Sunday's game against the Giants. With backfield mate Travis Etienne Jr. sidelined on injured reserve, Kamara should lead the rushing attack alongside Kendre Miller if cleared. However, his practice limitations make his workload uncertain, so fantasy managers need to verify his status prior to kickoff.
When active, our weekly projections slate Kamara for roughly 8 to 9 carries and 3 to 4 catches, yielding 11.3 fantasy points. While rostered in over 80% of leagues, only 31% of managers are currently starting him due to his injury and modest 3.1 yards-per-carry mark. In a projected pick'em contest, he profiles as a matchup-dependent flex option.
