Should You Start or Sit Woody Marks in Week 5?
Did we just witness a changing of the guard?
Woody Marks certainly looked to provide this limited offense with something that it has been missing last week in the shutout win over the Titans (21 touches for 119 yards and two scores), and the versatility has my attention.
That said, it was a game against lowly Tennessee, so let’s not get too crazy.
Marks held a 5-4 carry edge over Nick Chubb in the first quarter last week and picked up a fourth-and-short situation later in the first half. Houston is clearly interested, and a matchup with a Ravens defense that is limping in could be a nice spot to soft-launch their rookie as their lead back.
I’ve got Marks 10 spots higher than Chubb this week at the RB position, and that puts him firmly in the flex conversation, ahead of Isiah Pacheco and Breece Hall.
