Woody Marks is set to share the Texans' backfield workload with David Montgomery in the upcoming season, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. While the exact division of carries may not be strictly equal, both players are expected to see significant action during training camp.
The Texans are anticipated to implement a hot-hand strategy, adjusting the distribution of carries based on performance each week. In the Texans' recent preseason matchup, Marks participated in 10 plays, where he rushed four times for a total of 37 yards and found the end zone once.
He also caught a pass for six yards while playing alongside the first-team offense, as Montgomery was given rest during that game.
In the realm of fantasy football, Marks is being picked almost five rounds later than Montgomery, highlighting a notable disparity in how the two players are valued. As the season approaches, further clarity on their respective roles will emerge.
