Woody Marks is poised to share the backfield responsibilities with David Montgomery for the upcoming season, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. While the exact split may not be equal, both players are expected to see significant usage during training camp.
In the Texans' recent preseason matchup, Marks participated in 10 plays, where he rushed four times for 37 yards and scored a touchdown. He also caught a pass for six yards while playing with the first-team offense, as Montgomery was given a rest for that game. The Texans are likely to adopt a hot-hand strategy, adjusting their backfield approach based on player performance each week.
In fantasy football circles, Marks is being drafted almost five rounds later than Montgomery, highlighting a notable difference in how the two players are valued. Further clarity on their respective roles will emerge as the season unfolds.
