Woody Marks is anticipated to collaborate with David Montgomery in the Texans' backfield this season, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. Although the exact division of carries may not be strictly equal, a near 50-50 split is expected, with both players likely to see significant action during training camp.
The Texans are expected to implement a hot-hand strategy, adjusting their backfield usage based on player performance each week. In the Texans' recent preseason matchup, Marks took the field for 10 plays, achieving 37 rushing yards and scoring a touchdown, along with a six-yard reception, while Montgomery was given a rest.
In the realm of fantasy football, Marks is currently being drafted almost five rounds later than Montgomery, reflecting a disparity in their perceived value. As the season approaches, the specifics of their roles will continue to evolve.
