Nick Chubb

Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He briefly exited vs. the Colts with this injury but was able to return and finish out the game. Marks should be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs, but we'll keep you updated on his status. His absence would turn RB Nick Chubb into a low-level fantasy option.

Marks left Week 13's game with a foot injury but did eventually return. He finished the day with 19 attempts for 64 yards. This could just be a rest day for a banged-up player. It could also be an indication that Marks was running on adrenaline on Sunday and may be more injured than he or the team thought. Tomorrow's practice report will be more informative. Nick Chubb would take over the Houston backfield if Marks misses Week 14, though it would be hard to treat him as anything other than a low-end RB3 versus the Chiefs.

Woody Marks rushed a career-high 19 times for 64 yards and caught his only target for 3 yards in Houston's 20-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Marks briefly exited the game with a foot injury but returned to play 41 of the Texans' 76 snaps (54%).

Chubb powered through a Colts safety at the goal line on a sweep to the offense's left side to score his first touchdown since Week 5. The Texans briefly threatened to use Chubb in a Wildcat package at the goal line before it was flagged for illegal formation -- we're not sure if the Texans did anything wrong or if the NFL intervened to make sure nobody ever did that again. Chubb probably won't get as much red zone usage again unless Woody Marks pops up on the injury report ahead of Week 14. He's only a deep-league FLEX candidate against the Chiefs.

He added a three-yard catch on his only target. Despite missing time to an injured foot in the first half, Marks out-snapped Nick Chubb 41-25. He had a number of big gains, none bigger than a nine-yarder to help run out the clock as the Colts ran out of timeouts. He also could have done a little more with a breakaway alley in the third quarter, but couldn't quite cross up Nick Cross. Marks will be a low-end RB2 candidate against a Chiefs defense that has been fairly good against the run this year.
