Woody Marks, RB, Houston Texans

Rookie running back Woody Marks has been slowly taking over the Houston Texans’ backfield in recent weeks. Since the team’s Week 6 bye, Marks has had double-digit carries in every game and has also handled the majority of the team’s pass-catching work.

Unfortunately, two of those three games have been against the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos, two of the league’s best run defenses. Marks still managed an RB16-overall finish against the Seahawks, thanks to a receiving touchdown, and totaled 111 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8.

Things get a lot easier from here on, and Marks’ role should continue to grow as the season progresses. If the rookie continues his ascent, there’s no reason he can’t be a weekly RB2 with touchdown upside over the second half of the season.

Kyle Monangai, RB, Chicago Bears

Similar to Williams is rookie Kyle Monangai, in that Week 9’s shootout with the Bengals will likely be his best week of the season. The powerful runner torched Cincinnati’s frail defense for 198 total yards, including 176 rushing yards on 26 carries.

Many have tipped Monangai as a buy-low in recent weeks, after his carries spiked against the Saints in Week 7. However, most of those carries didn’t come until Chicago was already two scores ahead and looking relatively safe.

While his most recent opportunity came as a direct result of an injury to D’Andre Swift, Monangai has earned more playing time moving forward. If Swift misses Week 10, the New York Giants offer another mouthwatering opportunity for the young star.

That creates a dilemma, with Swift’s eventual return likely to impact Monangai’s production and fantasy value significantly. After the Giants, the matchups get far trickier for Chicago’s run game, with multiple games against top run defenses.

Monangai has RB1 potential in Week 10 if Swift is out, but an RB2 ceiling over the rest of the year once the veteran returns. If you can get a solid RB2 value for him this week or next, you should probably take it; anything less, his upside makes him worth holding onto.

Breece Hall | NYJ (vs CLE)

Prior to the Week 9 bye, Breece Hall had the best game of his season, piling up 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Bengals. I think we can agree that there is some grading on a curve that needs to take place with that performance, and as long as we are at it, let’s contextualize the past six games.

  • Three Favorable Spots (CIN, DAL, MIA)
    • 22.2 PPR PPG
    • +37.1% relative to expectations
    • 1.13 points per touch
  • Three More Difficult Spots (CAR, DEN, TB)
    • 7.4 PPR PPG
    • -38.7% relative to expectations
    • 0.46 points per touch

This profiles as a snake-eyes spot for those gambling on the Jets.

The Browns are just as rested as they are and haven’t allowed an RB to score 13 PPR points since Week 4. Some of that is their strong defense, and some of it is the type of ugly, clock-killing type of games they tend to play, but one way or another, opposing backs have had all sorts of trouble in this matchup.

If you don’t have an RB behind Hall that projects for 13-16 touches, it’s going to be difficult to pivot, but I’m certainly downgrading Hall and avoiding him in all DFS formats.
