Woody Marks is anticipated to work alongside David Montgomery in the Texans' backfield for the upcoming season, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. While the exact split in workload may not be equal, it is expected to be close, with both athletes likely to see substantial use during training camp.
The Texans are expected to implement a hot-hand strategy, adjusting their backfield usage weekly based on player performance. In the second preseason game, Marks participated in 10 plays, during which he rushed four times, gaining 37 yards and scoring a touchdown. He also caught a pass for six yards while playing with the first-team offense, as Montgomery was given a rest.
In fantasy football circles, Marks is being drafted nearly five rounds later than Montgomery, highlighting a perceived difference in their value. As the season approaches, further clarity on their specific roles remains to be seen.
