Woody Marks is poised to take on a shared role in the Texans' backfield alongside David Montgomery, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Although the exact division of work may not be evenly split, both players are expected to see significant usage during training camp.
The Texans are likely to implement a hot-hand strategy, adjusting their approach week by week based on player performance. In the second preseason game, Marks participated in 10 plays, carrying the ball four times for a total of 37 yards and finding the end zone once.
He also caught a pass for six yards while playing with the starting offense, as Montgomery was given a rest.
In the realm of fantasy football, Marks is being drafted nearly five rounds later than Montgomery, reflecting a difference in their perceived value. Further clarity on their specific roles will emerge as the season unfolds.
