Who Should I Start? Bhayshul Tuten or Woody Marks

Tuesday, November 4, 8:09 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten matched his season-high with 10 offensive touches in Week 9, taking nine carries for 29 yards and his third NFL touchdown while also adding a catch on his only target for a loss of three yards. While he was involved, Tuten still played solidly behind Travis Etienne Jr., who had a season-high 27 touches. Tuten actually played fewer snaps than fellow rookie LeQuint Allen as well, but Allen only had two touches. The fourth-round rookie is primarily an early-down, change-of-pace option right now for the Jaguars, but he has shown enough upside to deserve a look on waiver wires if you need running back depth. He has touchdown-dependent upside going forward, even though he and the Jags have a tough matchup against the strong Texans' defense in Week 10.

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (calf) was limited in practice this week but does not have an injury designation for Week 9's matchup against the Broncos. Marks had a massive breakthrough performance in Week 4 with 69 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards, and a pair of touchdowns. He took a back seat to Nick Chubb in Week 5's blowout win, but he has been productive in an even timeshare with Chubb in the last two weeks. Marks can produce excellent receiving yards and PPR production when he's at his best, and has scored two of his touchdowns through the air. Last week, he also had one of his best rushing games with 62 rushing yards on his 11 carries. Marks has a tough matchup against the Broncos this week, but he's still the RB25, showing he's a solid RB3 or flex option even against the strong Denver defense.
