Woody Marks is set to take on a shared role in the Texans' backfield alongside David Montgomery for the upcoming season, as reported by Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. The distribution of snaps may not be perfectly equal, but both players are expected to be utilized almost evenly throughout training camp.
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 recorded a reception for six yards while playing with the first-team unit, as Montgomery was given a rest during that game.
In fantasy football circles, Marks is being drafted nearly five rounds later than Montgomery, highlighting the perceived difference in their values. The specifics of their roles will likely evolve as the season progresses.
