Woody Marks
2025 Season Outlooks
Marks was selected by Houston in the fourth round of April's draft. He was a pass-catching machine during his collegiate career, posting a 261-1,546-5 receiving line on 317 targets, more than doubling the next-closest back in routes, targets and catches. On the other hand, he ranked near the bottom of this RB class in YAC and forced missed tackle rate last season and during his career, including a career 2.41 YAC, which is easily worst in this class. Marks underwhelmed across the board at the combine, including a 4.54 40. The 24-year-old will immediately compete with Nick Chubb, Dare Ogunbowale and Dameon Pierce for touches while lead back Joe Mixon is sidelined (minimum four games). Marks is worth a flier in the late rounds of deep leagues.
Marks’ overall offensive grade improved by a few points each season throughout his five-year college career.
Marks looks to replace Dare Ogunbowale as the third-down back for Houston. Ogunbowale played more often than a typical third-down back because he was on the field for 85% of two-minute drill snaps compared to 13% the season before. Most teams split snaps between their early down back and third-down back during the two-minute drill.
Every projected starter on the Texans' offensive line had a PFF run grade of 61.0 or lower over the last three seasons combined.
