Woody Marks Looks Like More Than a Passing-Down Back
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks got one drive with the starters Thursday and didn't waste it. Marks had five touches for 43 yards against Las Vegas, including a 20-yard touchdown run where he bounced through traffic and finished the drive himself. His final line was four carries for 37 yards and one catch for six. David Montgomery didn't play, so this isn't evidence that Marks has suddenly taken over the backfield. It does make his role a little more interesting. Marks was already getting most of the backfield route work during Tuesday's joint practice, and now he has put some good rushing tape on top of it. The 5-foot-10, 208-pound back led Houston with 703 rushing yards as a rookie and caught 24 passes for 208 yards and three touchdowns. Montgomery should still get plenty of work, particularly between the tackles. Marks is starting to look capable of earning touches beyond obvious passing situations, though, and that gives him a better shot at standalone PPR value than a typical No. 2 back.
