Woody Marks is anticipated to collaborate with David Montgomery in the Texans' backfield for the upcoming season, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. While the exact distribution of carries may not be perfectly even, both players are expected to see significant action during training camp.
The Texans are likely to implement a hot-hand strategy in their backfield, adjusting their approach weekly based on player performance. In the Texans' recent preseason matchup, Marks participated in 10 snaps, where he rushed four times for a total of 37 yards and found the end zone once.
He also recorded a six-yard reception while playing with the first-team offense, as Montgomery sat out the game.
In fantasy football circles, Marks is being drafted nearly five rounds after Montgomery, highlighting a notable difference in how the two players are valued. Further clarity on their specific roles will develop as the season progresses.
