Woody Marks is anticipated to share the backfield responsibilities with David Montgomery for the upcoming season, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. While the exact division of duties may not be a strict 50-50, both players are expected to see nearly equal usage during training camp.
The Texans are likely to implement a hot-hand strategy in their backfield, adapting their approach weekly based on player performance. In the second preseason game, Marks participated in 10 plays, carrying the ball four times for 37 yards and achieving one touchdown. He also caught a pass for six yards while playing alongside the starting offense, as Montgomery rested during that game.
In fantasy football circles, Marks is being drafted nearly five rounds later than Montgomery, reflecting a notable difference in how the two players are valued. Further clarity on their specific roles will emerge as the season unfolds.
