Woody Marks Dynasty Value

Texans RB Joe Mixon (foot) is not expected to return this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's seemed pretty clear for a while now, but it's nice to get confirmation. We still know very little about the offseason foot injury that will evidently cost Mixon the entire 2025 campaign. He's signed with Houston next year, but Rapoport notes that the team can save $8.5 million in cap space by releasing Mixon after the start of the 2026 league year. Mixon will turn 30 in July and is not a must-hold on dynasty rosters. Rookie Woody Marks figures to operate as Houston's clear lead back the rest of the season.

One week after scoring 26 unanswered points in a come-from-behind victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Texans' offense had a sluggish day against the AFC South's last-place team. However, one positive takeaway from Houston's unimpressive outing was Woody Marks' second-straight game being utilized as the team's featured back. Marks played 65.7% of Houston's snaps and commanded 18 of the Texans 21 RB carries in their 16-13 vicotry.
