Jawhar Jordan Fantasy Overview

The Texans placed RB Jawhar Jordan on the practice squad injured list with a quad injury. He's out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. Jordan was the No. 2 RB last week with David Montgomery out, handling 6 carries and 1 target on a 22% snap rate. With Montgomery expected to remain out this week, Houston is down to RBs Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale, with Deuce Vaughn on the practice squad. Marks could be in for an even bigger role this week than he played last. And the matchup is much better against the Giants' 25th-ranked RB defense.

Texans RB David Montgomery (quad) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He's likely to miss this weekend's game vs. the Giants, which would again leave the backfield to Woody Marks and Jawhar Jordan. Marks got strong usage last week and is a nice RB2 play in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Texans RB Woody Marks operated as the clear lead back in Sunday’s win over Jacksonville, his first game without David Montgomery. Marks led Jawhar Jordan in snap share (78% to 22%), carry share (61% to 26%), and target share (10% to 3%). But his lackluster efficiency left fantasy managers wanting more.

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans called RB David Montgomery "week to week" with the groin injury that knocked him out of Sunday's win over the Titans. Montgomery is very likely to miss Week 6, and Houston's Week 8 bye might also have him more likely than not to miss Week 7. RB Woody Marks stepped into a workhorse role against Tennessee, carrying 15 times for 62 yards and catching all 4 of his targets for 23 yards. We expect the Texans to elevate RB Jawhar Jordan from the practice squad, but Marks figures to handle more of the backfield work against the Jaguars this weekend. That's a brutal matchup, but volume will put Marks in play as a RB2/3 in fantasy lineups.
