Marks is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Marks in Week 13?
I hate when people use this as a descriptor, because I don’t think it fits the mold as often as it’s used, but this is the rare case I’m on board with it.
Woody Marks has “juice”.
That’s a vague term that means something different to everyone, but in this instance, it’s night and day from him and Nick Chubb, something that the Texans seem to finally be on board with.
Against the pitiful Bills run defense, the rookie recorded a season-high 74 rush yards and out-touched Chubb 17-7, an advantage that seems more likely to grow than shrink for the remainder of the season.
We saw him excel in the passing game at USC last season (19.2% of his passes) and the C.J. Stroud version of this offense seemed more willing to leverage that skill. The starting QB has been hurt in or out of four straight and Marks has a total of four receptions. He was a threat to catch 3-4 passes in the month prior to this Davis Mills experience and if we can get back to that, there is top 15 production in this profile.
Until we marry the ground volume with the usage in the pass game, I’m ranking him closer to RB20 than RB10, but I’m open to the idea of adjusting that default rank if we get proof of that being the plan this weekend.
