Woody Marks did not practise Thursday after a limited session Wednesday with knee discomfort. The Texans listed him questionable for Sunday's match at Cleveland.
The lack of practice participation after Wednesday's limited work raises concern for his Week 10 availability. Managers should check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. A limited or full practice Friday would not guarantee he plays. With Emari Demercado and Dare Ogunbowale behind him, his absence would open up carries and targets without a clear lead back emerging.
Fantasy impact
Player by player
Woody Marks
Marks carried 18 times for 70 yards and caught one of four targets for four yards on 66 per cent of snaps in Week 9 against the Chargers, posting 7.9 half-PPR points. Over his last three games he has averaged 17.3 carries and 2.7 targets a game on 78 per cent of snaps, producing 8.5 half-PPR points a game. He is scoring 4.0 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts, so his role is worth more than his recent points.
Cleveland allows 19.5 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 14th most of 32. Even if he plays Sunday, the knee issue and missed Thursday practice lower his ceiling for this week. Our models project 8.2 half-PPR points a game and rank him 31st at the position. Bench him if he suits up this week given the injury uncertainty and middling recent production.
What to do
• Bench Woody Marks even if he is active Sunday given the knee injury and missed Thursday practice.
• Check the inactive list 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm his status.
• Monitor Emari Demercado and Dare Ogunbowale as potential streaming options if Marks is ruled out, though neither would be a confident start.
