Outlook Woody Marks
Learning the Route Tree Could Lock in Late-Round PPR Value
Woody Marks enters his second season with the Texans operating as the primary backup to David Montgomery. After logging 212 carries in his rookie campaign, our projections expect a more efficient, shared workload for Marks this year. We project him to handle 124 carries for 508 yards and three touchdowns, keeping him heavily involved as a change-of-pace runner.
The real excitement for Marks' fantasy profile lies in his developing passing-game usage. Recent reports highlight him actively learning the route tree in anticipation of an expanded pass-catching role. We project him to grab 23 receptions for 185 yards and a touchdown, giving him a stable floor in PPR formats despite operating behind a clear lead back.
This shifting role is reflected in the draft market, where his ADP has steadily slipped from 126 in early June to a stable 135 in mid-July. Currently rostered in 83% of leagues but starting in only 33%, Marks represents a fantastic late-round value benchmark for managers looking to secure premium backfield depth.

Outlook Aaron Jones Sr.
Lead Role in Minnesota Makes Aging Aaron Jones a Value Opportunity in Drafts
Aaron Jones Sr. remains the lead back in Minnesota, anchoring the backfield as the clear starter ahead of Jordan Mason on the depth chart. At 31 years old, his days of carrying a massive workhorse load are likely behind him, but he still projects to see a healthy share of touches. Our models project him for 153 rushing attempts and 41 receptions, making him a reliable, dual-threat option in this offense.
His current ADP has been stubbornly flat, hovering right around pick 112 in PPR formats over the last month. Fantasy managers are clearly hesitating due to his age and recent injury history, but this cautious market pricing makes him a fantastic value. With our projections landing him at 167.8 fantasy points, he represents a secure mid-round target who is being valued at his floor.
Despite a 100% ownership rate, he is currently started in only half of fantasy leagues, indicating managers view him as a matchup-dependent flex or bench depth. However, his strong receiving profile gives him a stable weekly baseline. If he maintains his health, he has the potential to easily outproduce his current draft position and become a weekly fantasy starter.
