Outlook Woody Marks

Woody Marks vs. Giants — Poised for a featured workload with David Montgomery sidelined

With primary starter David Montgomery ruled out due to a groin injury, Marks steps into lead backfield duties against the Giants. Marks has already commanded 15 carries in consecutive weeks, establishing firm control of Houston's backfield touches ahead of Dare Ogunbowale.

Facing New York as heavy double-digit home favorites, Houston should enjoy a positive, run-friendly game script. Our weekly projection anticipates roughly 15 carries and 65 rushing yards alongside goal-line opportunities, pointing to 13.6 expected fantasy points. With his start rate surging up to 75%, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
