Houston's backfield may no longer have a problem. Fourth-round rookie RB Woody Marks commanded 21 touches, totaling 119 scrimmage yards and a pair of TDs as the Texans shut out the Tennessee Titans to notch their first victory of the season.
Marks has seen his role grow every week and now appears poised to take over as the team's main runner.
Nick Chubb drew the start for the Texans. Chubb earned 15 touches but wasn't as effective, churning out just 47 rushing yards on his 13 attempts (3.6 yards per carry).
Chubb appears to have no explosiveness left. Entering Week 4, Chubb ranked 44th out of 53 qualifying RBs (15-plus attempts) with 2.23 yards after contact per attempt.
Marks nearly played 50% of Houston's snaps in Week 3 before his breakout performances against the Titans. This week, Marks out-snapped Chubb 40-30.
Marks was more effective than Chubb as a runner, receiver, and in pass protection. His first TD was a 12-yard reception from QB C.J. Stroud. Marks capped Houston's scoring with an 18-yard jaunt with 4:51 left in the game.
Chubb may get the veteran courtesy of drawing the start in Week 5 in Baltimore, but the Texans will be sizable underdogs. That sets up a more favorable game script for Marks, who should be viewed as the team's best fantasy RB moving forward.
