Woody Marks a Low-Upside Option Heading into Playoffs

Across 16 games in his rookie campaign, Houston Texans running back Woody Marks has recorded 196 carries for 703 yards and two touchdowns while adding 24 catches for 208 yards and three scores on 36 targets. Marks has operated as Houston's lead back for most of the season, but he's been one of the least efficient runners in the league, averaging 3.59 yards per carry, which ranks 48th out of 49 RBs with at least 100 carries. The rookie fourth-rounder hasn't been very dynamic on his high volume of touches, and he will now face a stout Pittsburgh Steelers defense that allowed the fewest rushing yards per game (73.3) over the final four weeks of the season. Marks profiles as a risky RB3/flex for the Wild-Card round matchup on Monday night.

Should Woody Marks Be Back in Your Lineup Against the Chargers?

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) missed last week's game against the Raiders after sustaining an injury in Week 15 against Arizona, but he had full participation in practice and has no injury status for this week, indicating he should be a full go in Week 17. The Texans are in a tough matchup against the Chargers in what is expected to be a low-scoring contest on Saturday afternoon, but Marks should step back into a significant role. Before his injury, Marks had set a season-high with 26 carries for 68 yards against the Chiefs and scored a touchdown as a receiver. The rookie now has five touchdowns on the season and seems to have taken the lead role in the backfield, although Jawhar Jordan and Nick Chubb will also likely remain involved. Since the Chargers have been good against the run and he's still in a committee, Marks is the RB No. 32 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 17, since he is a high-risk RB3 or flex option with touchdown-dependent upside.

Woody Marks Practices on Tuesday, Trending Towards Week 17 Return?

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) was spotted on the practice field on Tuesday, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Marks missed his team's Week 16 win against the Las Vegas Raiders due to an ankle injury that forced him to exit early in Week 15. It appears Marks could be trending towards making his return in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Across 14 games this season, the 24-year-old has recorded 788 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 188 touches. Marks had emerged as the feature back in Houston before getting hurt, recording at least 16 touches in every game from Week 10 through Week 14. If he were to remain sidelined, the Texans would likely turn to the combination of Jawhar Jordan and Nick Chubb for backfield snaps in Week 17. UPDATE: Marks was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Woody Marks Officially Inactive for Week 16

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing two of the Texans' three practices this past week. Houston is exercising caution by holding the rookie out of Sunday's game. Not only do they want to keep him fresh for the playoff push, but they can also feel comfortable about their chances with a slightly short-staffed backfield against a porous Las Vegas Raiders run defense that has allowed the second-most rushing touchdowns to running backs in 2025. Nick Chubb (ribs) should lead the way against Vegas, but we also expect to see a mix of Jawhar Jordan and Dare Ogunbowale, especially if the Texans jump out to an early lead. Chubb ranks as a high-end RB3. We could also see Jordan, who totaled 118 scrimmage yards last week, sneak into the RB3/flex range.

Woody Marks Not Expected to Play in Week 16

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) is expected to be inactive for Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. He had been listed as questionable and missed two of the Texans' three practices this past week. Although it was previously reported that Marks planned to play, the Texans are ultimately deciding to hold him out. Not only do they want to keep him fresh for the playoff push, but they can also feel comfortable about their chances with a slightly short-staffed backfield against a porous Las Vegas Raiders run defense that has allowed the second-most rushing touchdowns to running backs in 2025. Nick Chubb (ribs) should lead the way against Vegas, but we also expect to see a mix of Jawhar Jordan and Dare Ogunbowale, especially if the Texans jump out to an early lead.

Woody Marks Plans to Play Against Raiders in Week 16

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) plans to play in Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. The rookie, who had been listed as questionable after upgrading to a limited participant in practice on Friday, will undergo a series of pregame workouts to confirm his availability. Suiting up on Sunday would be an impressive development for Marks, who didn't practice at all on Wednesday or Thursday. If active, though, he'll immediately slot into the RB2 tier for fantasy football. He has 314 rushing yards over his last five healthy games and is facing off against a Vegas defense that has surrendered the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025.

Woody Marks Questionable Against the Raiders

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) was set up for success last week, but he was forced to leave the game after just seven carries. If he does play, he'll be a strong option against the Raiders, but the Texans will be cautious with their rookie rusher. Last week, before his injury, he ran for 30 yards and caught his only target for eight yards. He still had a decent fantasy day since he had a touchdown on what was called a fumble recovery rather than a carry, when a goal-line snap went through C.J. Stroud's legs straight to Marks. Marks didn't practice at all on Wednesday or Thursday, but was able to get a limited session on Friday before earning his questionable tag. If he plays, he'll be a solid RB2, since he's ranked as the RB No. 17 in RotoBaller's rankings. The Raiders have allowed 16 running back touchdowns on the season, including seven in the last four games, so whoever gets the work in Houston's backfield should be in position for a strong showing on Sunday.

Woody Marks Back at Practice on Friday

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (ankle) is present for Friday's practice with a helmet and a trainer, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. After missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, it looks like Marks will be limited on Friday, giving him a chance to play on Sunday versus the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. The 24-year-old has been battling an ankle injury for a while now, and he aggravated it in the first half of the Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Marks did not return, but head coach DeMeco Ryans said the young RB could have come back into the contest if the game was close. It suggests that Marks' injury isn't serious, but he'll probably at least be questionable for this weekend's game against the Raiders. Marks has clear RB2 upside if he's active, but if he's out or not 100%, veteran Nick Chubb (rib) or Jawhar Jordan could take valuable backfield touches away from him.

Woody Marks Back at Practice Friday

According to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (ankle) has returned for the team's final practice of the week. Alexander notes that Marks and defensive back Derek Stingley Jr. (oblique) will be limited participants as they work with trainers. It's excellent news for the team and fantasy managers, as the USC product played only 15 snaps last Sunday as he dealt with an ankle injury in Houston's 40-20 win over Arizona. As it stands, it's still unclear if he'll be able to suit up for Week 16's home meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders, but it's at least a step in the right direction. Owners should continue monitoring his status over the next 48 hours or so, as it would be some combination of backfield mates Nick Chubb (ribs), Dare Ogunbowale, and Jawhar Jordan working in Marks' stead if he's ruled inactive.

Woody Marks Not Seen at Practice for Second Straight Day

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (ankle) was not seen at the media accessible portion of practice on Thursday, according to Shaun Bijani of Sports Radio 610. Marks aggravated a pre-existing ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals and did not return in the second half. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that the 24-year-old could have re-entered the game if it had been closer. That suggests that Marks' injury isn't very serious, but back-to-back DNPs this week put his availability for Week 16 against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders in peril. Nick Chubb (ribs) has returned to practice after being inactive last Sunday. With both Chubb and Marks banged up, second-year back Jawhar Jordan is worth a look on the waiver wire after he had 15 carries for 101 yards in his NFL debut against Arizona.
