Woody Marks Remains the Texans' Top Receiving Back
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks led the team with 62 rushing yards on his 11 carries in Week 8 against the 49ers, outproducing Nick Chubb, who had 56 rushing yards on 17 carries. Marks also added four catches for 49 yards, hauling in all four of his targets in the Texans' balanced passing game. Marks and Chubb split time almost evenly in the Week 8 victory, with Chubb playing 35 snaps and Marks 32 snaps. While Chubb still has a grasp on early-down work and clock-killing responsibility, Marks is the preferred option in passing situations. In Week 7 against Seattle, he out-snapped Chubb 48-to-19 based on the game script of Houston having to play catch-up against the Seahawks. Both running backs will continue to get work, but Marks is definitely worth a look on the waiver wire since he's a dynamic playmaker getting enough work to be a flex consideration, and he has a high ceiling when he gets the work, as he has shown in several games this season.
