Woody Marks is expected to divide the backfield workload fairly evenly with David Montgomery during the upcoming season, according to Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. While the exact distribution may not be a perfect 50-50 split, it is anticipated to be close, with both players utilized nearly equally throughout training camp.
Marks showcased his abilities in the Texans' second preseason game, where he played 10 snaps, rushed four times for 37 yards, and scored one touchdown. Additionally, he caught one pass for six yards while working exclusively with the first-team offense, as Montgomery was rested for that game.
In fantasy football drafts, Marks is being selected significantly later than Montgomery, nearly five rounds after him. The Texans are expected to adopt a hot-hand strategy in their backfield, allowing for a flexible approach to player utilization on a weekly basis.
