Outlook Woody Marks
Expanded Receiving Role and Contingency Value Make Him an Intriguing Late-Round Target
Entering his second NFL campaign, Woody Marks is positioned as the primary change-of-pace option behind David Montgomery in Houston's backfield. After showcasing physical running in the preseason and working extensively on his route tree, Marks offers standalone utility as a versatile pass catcher.
Our season projections expect Marks to share the workload effectively, forecasting 140 carries for 585 yards and 25 catches for 190 yards, totaling 126.0 fantasy points. While he handled 212 carries as a rookie, his dialed-back volume should improve his per-touch efficiency.
Market sentiment has cooled considerably, with his ADP sliding from around 130 in mid-August to 178 heading into September. With fantasy managers hesitating, our projections view his plummeting draft price as a prime value steal in 1.0 PPR formats for a high-end handcuff with pass-down upside.

Outlook Rome Odunze
Primed for a Year 3 Breakout in an Evolving Bears Offense
Entering his third NFL season, Rome Odunze is positioned as Chicago's primary outside weapon in an evolving passing attack designed to maximize his skillset. After posting 758 receiving yards and six touchdowns across 14 games last season, Odunze enters the year fully healthy after putting lingering foot concerns to rest in camp.
Our projections forecast a substantial leap forward, calling for 68 receptions, 975 yards, and eight touchdowns on 125 targets (211.0 fantasy points). His established chemistry with quarterback Caleb Williams should yield expanded red-zone volume and weekly WR2 production in PPR formats.
Odunze's ADP has cooled from pick 61 in early August down to around pick 88, creating a prime draft-day value. With his start rate surging past 70% and a clear path to high target volume, he represents a high-upside investment at a discounted mid-round price tag.
