Second-Year Back Offers High-End Contingency Value in Houston

Woody Marks enters his second campaign operating as the primary backup behind David Montgomery in Houston's backfield. After handling 212 carries in 2025, our projections anticipate a downsized workload of 140 rushing attempts for 585 yards and three scores on the ground as he settles into a complementary committee role.

Despite the projected step back in carries, head coach DeMeco Ryans praised Marks' offseason growth, and the runner flashed his physical finishing ability during preseason action. His summer focus on expanding his route tree could unlock reliable third-down opportunities, aligning with our projection of 25 receptions.

Fantasy managers have grown wary, sending his draft cost tumbling from near pick 130 in early August down past pick 174 in early September. That slide makes Marks an affordable late-round bench stash in PPR formats rather than an overvalued reach, offering immense contingent value if injuries strike.

Outlook Aaron Jones Sr.

Late-Round Draft Value Emerges as Backfield Leader Despite Market Skepticism

Aaron Jones enters his tenth NFL season leading Minnesota's backfield, listed atop the depth chart ahead of Jordan Mason. While his workload scaled back in 2025 to 141 carries across 13 games, Jones remains trusted in crucial situations, offering reliable pass protection and third-down versatility for the Vikings' offense.

Market sentiment has cooled significantly on the veteran. His ADP has plummeted nearly five rounds over the summer, falling from around pick 112 in late July to 163 entering September. This drop suggests fantasy drafters fear committee dilution or age-related decline, yet that slide creates a buying opportunity in 1.0 PPR formats.

Our projections forecast 174.0 fantasy points on 160 carries for 700 rushing yards and six touchdowns, alongside 25 receptions for 175 receiving yards. At his depressed draft cost, Jones profiles as a high-floor flex option with weekly scoring upside whenever game scripts tilt in his favor.
