Outlook Woody Marks

Valuable Complementary Role Offers Safe PPR Bench Depth

Woody Marks enters his second NFL season as a key backup in the Houston backfield, operating directly behind primary starter David Montgomery. After handling 212 carries as a rookie in 2025, Marks is projected for a more complementary role this year. Our models project him for 120 rushing attempts, 490 yards, and three touchdowns on the ground.

Despite the lighter projected rushing workload, Marks maintains a solid receiving profile. He is projected to catch 23 passes on 23 targets for 180 yards and another score. This pass-catching efficiency keeps him relevant in PPR leagues, where his roster ownership remains high at 82% despite a starting rate of just 33%.

Draft market trends show Marks' ADP holding steady around pick 130 over the past month. This makes him a highly stable late-round target. Our projection of 113.7 fantasy points suggests he represents a safe bench value with immediate, high-end insurance upside if Montgomery misses time.

Outlook Rome Odunze

Year Three Breakout Imminent for Rising Star in Remodeled Offense

Entering his third year, Odunze is positioned as the primary outside receiver for the Bears. Despite battling a foot fracture last season that has left him with a "new normal" foot structure, he still managed 758 yards and six touchdowns on 105 targets. He returns healthy to headline a revamped passing game alongside Caleb Williams.

Our projections are highly optimistic, forecasting 61 receptions for 922 yards and seven touchdowns on 108 targets. Advanced data reinforces this upside, highlighting his elite success rates against man, zone, and press coverage. This efficiency makes him an incredibly high-ceiling option in Ben Johnson's offensive scheme.

Fantasy managers are monitoring his ADP, which has steadily settled in the low-60s. This stable draft cost makes him an absolute steal in PPR leagues, as the market has yet to fully price in his massive target share potential as a primary aerial weapon.
