Woody Marks Rest-of-Season Outlook
Workhorse RB3 with flex weeks
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB29 last season at 9.4 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB32 at 7.5 PPR points per game, against 9.4 over 16 games last season (RB29). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 26th of 95 in rushing volume (12.3 carries per game), 36th of 95 in receiving role (2.3 targets per game) and 59th of 95 in efficiency (1.77 yards after contact per carry). His points come from his rushing volume. Efficiency is the soft spot. C.J. Stroud is his quarterback.
He's RB2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Cowboys in Week 4 (8th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Marks turned his rookie year into real volume: 16 games, a 51.5 percent snap share, 196 carries for 703 yards and 304 routes run, finishing RB27 with 121.1 fantasy points. The receiving role is the hook—24 of 36 targets for 208 yards and three scores, with 223 yards after the catch, props up his PPR floor. He also handled goal-line work with 9 goal-line carries and 41 red-zone opportunities, a usage profile that punches above his 4th-round draft slot out of USC.
The concern is efficiency. A 3.59 yards-per-carry mark, a -0.095 EPA per play, just 1.77 yards after contact, and a broken tackle only every 32.7 carries point to a grinder rather than an explosive runner, and 28 carries stopped for negative yards underline the lack of creation. With every-down work but thin big-play juice, Marks profiles as a high-floor, low-ceiling RB2/flex—a dependable PPR starter for steady touches, not league-winning spikes.
What Drives His Outlook
