Woody Marks 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Handcuff Stash with Receiving Chops
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks was selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, which is valuable enough draft capital to put him on the fantasy football radar as a rookie. Marks spent four seasons at Mississippi State before one season in Los Angeles with USC. He hauled in a whopping 261 receptions in 57 career games and had a career-high 83 catches in 2021. His receiving skills give reason for optimism in PPR setups, but he was more than just a scat-back at the collegiate level. He accumulated 1,883 rushing yards overall and averaged 5.0 yards per carry, finding the end zone 22 times on the ground. While he'll have to beat out Dameon Pierce for the RB2 role behind Joe Mixon, it has become evident the staff in Houston isn't high on the former Florida running back. The 28-year-old Mixon, who missed three games last year, is highly likely to miss at least a few contests in 2025. Whether Marks carves out a receiving role that gives him standalone value, or Mixon misses time, there is a clear path to fantasy relevance in 2025. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider stashing Marks, and he's a solid best ball dart throw for potential spike weeks.
