Woody Marks is expected to divide the backfield workload with David Montgomery for the upcoming season, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. While the exact split may not be equal, it is anticipated that both players will see significant action during training camp.
Alexander mentioned that the Texans plan to use a hot-hand strategy in their backfield, making adjustments weekly based on player performance. In the Texans' second preseason matchup, Marks participated in 10 plays, carrying the ball four times for a total of 37 yards and scoring a touchdown.
He also caught a pass for six yards while playing alongside the first-team offense, as Montgomery was given a rest during that game.
In fantasy football circles, Marks is being drafted almost five rounds after Montgomery, reflecting a notable difference in how the two players are valued. Further clarity on their roles as the season unfolds remains to be seen.
