Jawhar Jordan

Jordan is ruled out Thursday and remains on the practice squad injured list with a quadriceps injury, meaning he must miss at least the next four games before he is eligible for activation. In his only appearance this season in Week 6 against Jacksonville, he carried 6 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and caught 1 of 1 targets for 7 yards, finishing with 11.5 half-PPR points. Woody Marks dominated the backfield with 15 carries and 3 targets on 78% of snaps, against Jordan's 6 carries and 1 target on 22%.

Jordan is scoring 7.0 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts, 1st of 106 running backs, meaning some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. His role security scores 6 of 99, 61st of 111 running backs, reflecting his limited involvement behind Marks. Next on the Houston depth chart at running back are Woody Marks and Emari Demercado. Bench Jordan until he is activated and cleared to return.

What to do

• Bench Jawhar Jordan until he is cleared from the practice squad injured list after the four-game minimum.

• Monitor Jordan's activation status, as he cannot return to the field until he completes the required absence.

• Consider Woody Marks as the primary Houston running back for the coming weeks.
