Jarquez Hunter News
Sunday, March 22, 5:15 PM
Los Angeles Rams running back Jarquez Hunter is buried too far down the depth chart to justify rostering him in dynasty fantasy football leagues. When Hunter was selected as a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, there was some speculation that he could ascend into the No. 2 running back role behind Kyren Williams. Instead, he was a healthy scratch for 12 of 17 games as a rookie, falling below Williams, Blake Corum, and Ronnie Rivers on the depth chart. Even when he was active, he didn't log an offensive snap. Rivers is now a free agent, but even if Hunter jumps to third in the pecking order, he'll still be a long way from fantasy relevance. The 23-year-old can be dropped in most dynasty leagues, less than one year after initially being drafted.

Woody Marks News
Monday, March 23, 7:34 AM
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks led the team with 703 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 196 rushing attempts in 16 regular-season games in his first year in the NFL, with Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) missing the entire season. Overall for Houston, though, it was a lackluster rushing attack with Marks and veteran Nick Chubb, as the team ranked 22nd in rushing yards per game (108). Mixon and Chubb won't return in 2026, and the Texans acquired David Montgomery from the Detroit Lions this offseason to help bolster their ground game. ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime writes that Montgomery "will enter the 2026 season as the No. 1 back for Houston." It's bad news for the 25-year-old Marks' redraft and dynasty value heading into his sophomore campaign. The former fourth-rounder out of USC averaged 3.6 yards per carry last year and caught 24 of his 36 targets for 208 yards and three touchdowns through the air. Marks will still be involved in the Texans' backfield, but as long as Monty is healthy, he'll be more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex on a weekly basis.
