Who Should I Start? Khalil Herbert or Woody Marks

Tuesday, September 23, 5:37 PM

The Seattle Seahawks announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent running back Khalil Herbert to their practice squad, according to The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta. The move comes after Zach Charbonnet (foot) missed the team's blowout win over the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 3 on Sunday. The 27-year-old Herbert will provide additional backfield depth for Seattle if Charbonnet is forced to miss more time, starting with this Thursday night's tilt against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. With Charb out last weekend, George Holani was the primary backup to the oft-injured Kenneth Walker III. Herbert played with the Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals in 2024, finishing with only 130 rushing yards and a touchdown on 36 carries while catching 10 passes for 25 yards in 14 games. He'll only find his way onto the fantasy radar if both Walker and Charbonnet are on the shelf at the same time.

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks was more involved in Week 2, and he could play even more moving forward, according to reports from Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. In Week 1, he played 11% of snaps, and in Week 2, he played 27% of snaps. He had three carries each week, but he was more effective with 14 rushing yards in Week 2 while also adding a 37-yard reception. Dare Ogunbowale has been mixing in as a receiving back along with Marks and Nick Chubb, but the fourth-round pick from USC is expected to play a larger role as he continues to flash more potential upside than Ogunbowale moving forward. Marks is the RB46 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 3, so he's still not quite a flex play in standard leagues at this point.
