Woody Marks 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 insider Aaron Wilson confirms that RB David Montgomery (groin) is not expected to play vs. the Giants this weekend. That's been our expectation all along. Woody Marks will get another game as lead back in an excellent spot as a big home favorite against the league's 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.
