He averaged 8.3 fantasy points per game across 16 appearances, which ranks him 36th among running backs in our 2026 draft board. That per-game number is the starting point for every start or sit decision you make with him in 2026.
Woody Marks finished 2025 with 703 rushing yards and 2 ground scores. He added 24 catches for 208 receiving yards, a meaningful passing-game role that lifts his PPR floor without making him a pure receiving back.
Woody Marks profiles as a traditional early-down workhorse. When his team is ahead or in a favorable script, his volume is elite. When the game turns into a passing contest, his ceiling drops. Target him in spots where Vegas implies a positive script and his team is favored.
Heading into 2026, Woody Marks projects as a core piece of the Houston Texans offense. Managers drafting him need to plan around his Week 6 bye and monitor training camp reports for role changes.
