The Houston Texans are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14 of the NFL season. As fantasy football players prepare their lineups, this article provides the latest updates, advice on player performance, and a closer look at running back Woody Marks.

Woody Marks Injury Status for Week 14

Woody Marks is not listed on the injury report, indicating he is expected to play. Fantasy owners should continue to keep an eye on updates from the Texans leading up to the game.

Start/Sit Advice for Woody Marks

When evaluating whether to start or sit a player, there are three main criteria: role, talent, and situation. A player who meets at least two of these criteria is more likely to succeed in fantasy football.

• Role: Marks has a clearly defined role in the Texans’ offensive scheme.
• Talent: His performance is still being assessed, given his limited experience with 152 career touches.
• Situation: The offensive line issues and the current passing game dynamics raise concerns.

Entering Week 14, only four running backs have achieved 16 or more carries and a reception in each of their past three games: Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, Javonte Williams, and Woody Marks. This statistic highlights Marks’s reliable role despite uncertainties regarding his performance.

Projected Performance Against the Chiefs

Marks faces the Chiefs, who rank as the ninth-best defense against running backs following contact. Their fifth rank in average time of possession may limit Marks’s opportunities for scoring fantasy points. As such, he is currently projected as a low-end RB2. His performance could improve in the following weeks, especially with easier matchups on the schedule.

Fantasy Points Projection for Week 14

In PPR formats, Marks is projected to score approximately 12.9 fantasy points in Week 14. This breakdown includes:

• Rushing: 60 yards
• Rushing Touchdowns: 0.5
• Receiving: 2 receptions for 17 yards
