5 players to add
1. RB Woody Marks, Houston Texans
Marks surpassed Dameon Pierce on the depth card of the Texans and could already become the starter next week.
The Texans used Joe Mixon to run back last season, with Dare Ogunbowale playing on passing Downs and Pierce as the primary backup. Houston set up Marks in the fourth round for the reduction of depth and then drew free agent Nick Chubb to replace the injured Mixon. In week 1, Chubb was the clear starter on Early Downs and took 70% of the early snaps. Ogunbowale ReMaineD The third-down back, while Pierce maintained his role as primary backup on early Downs. Marks played five of the 40 snaps on early downs and two of the 11 snaps during two minutes drilling.
This week Houston shook things up by making Pierce a healthy inactive. Fullback British Brooks was a healthy inactive last week, but was active this week, presumably to play in special teams. This made the clear back -up. Chubb started the game, but Marks received his first Snap on the first ride and took the majority of the snaps on the second ride. The two continued in a rotation on early downs during the first half. In the second half the team went back to Chubb as the primary back, despite the strong play of Marks. Marks were on average more meters per Carry, even after a Chubb 25-Yard Touchdown-Run in the last three minutes, and had a reception of 37 meters. Chubb has only had one reception of 37 or more meters in his career.
Marks now becomes the best distance declaration when declining. He could even be the starter next week, seen how much better he has played this season so far than Chubb. With the situation of uncertainty that Mixon disguised, Marks can be the starter for the rest of the season.
2. WR Troy Franklin” Denver Broncos
Franklin hit his career high in attacking Snaps and caught eight passes for 89 yards and a touchdown.
