The Houston Texans rolled past the Tennessee Titans 26 to 0, but what has everyone in both NFL and fantasy football circles buzzing is the name Woody Marks. If you’re asking yourself, “Who is Woody, you are not alone. The rookie running back from USC came into the season as a depth chart afterthought, but on Sunday, he became the center of attention with a breakout performance that could shift Houston’s backfield dynamics for the rest of the year.

Marks carried the ball 17 times for 69 yards and one touchdown, flashing patience and vision between the tackles. That alone would have been enough to raise some eyebrows, but it was his work in the passing game that really put fantasy managers on notice. Marks hauled in 4 passes for 50 yards and another score, giving him two total touchdowns on the day. In PPR fantasy leagues, that stat line translated into just under 28 points, a winning week out of nowhere for anyone bold or lucky enough to have him in their lineup.

What will linger from this game is not just the stats, but the opportunities he received compared to the big-name veteran Nick Chubb. Chubb carried the ball 13 times, a respectable number, but Marks was clearly trusted with more work. His explosiveness and versatility set him apart in a way that cannot be ignored. Even with Joe Mixon expected to return soon, Marks showed a spark that suggests he is already carving out a role that will stick in this Texans offense.

At 5-feet-10 and 210 pounds, Marks is built like a workhorse back despite being slightly overlooked. At USC, he put up 1,133 yards and 9 touchdowns last season, so production has never been the issue. What he lacked was an NFL team ready to believe in him, and on Sunday, the Texans sent a message that they might be prepared to do just that.

In fantasy football, players like Marks are gold. He was not rostered in most leagues and certainly not started in Week 4. That is about to change. Expect waiver wires everywhere to be flooded with desperate bids by managers trying to snag the rookie who just announced himself in a major way. For Texans fans, he might be more than just a fantasy darling. Woody Marks may be the key to an offense that suddenly looks much deeper and much more dangerous.
