Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said that the usage of running backs Nick Chubb and Woody Marks is game-plan dependent and also depends on the flow of the game, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Running backs coach Danny Barrett also has a lot of input on the usage between the two backs. After playing a season-high 56% of the offensive snaps in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans, Marks dropped down to 39% in the blowout win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. Marks' fantasy managers were probably hoping for a lot more against the Ravens' depleted defense, especially in a blowout. The rookie had seven carries for 24 yards, while Chubb finished with 11 carries for a team-high 61 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Chubb and Marks will continue to move forward in a timeshare and will be RB3/flex plays in fantasy, with Marks offering fantasy managers more upside and big-play ability.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller broke out in Week 4 against the Bills, rushing 11 times for 65 yards and a touchdown. After battling injuries through his first two seasons and never carving out a consistent role, Miller finally flashed his upside in the Saints' backfield. He'll look to build on that momentum in Week 5 against a Giants defense that is allowing a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry. Miller enters the matchup as an RB3/Flex option with upside, especially if his touches continue to rise.
