Rachaad White News
Wednesday, October 7, 9:48 AM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White (shoulder) missed Sunday's international loss to the Colts with a shoulder injury, but he was back at practice on Wednesday, sporting a black non-contact jersey, according to team reporter Tashan Reed. In what ultimately became a pass-heavy contest, Jacory Croskey-Merritt remained the team's most involved running back, but it was veteran Austin Ekeler, playing in his first game of the year after signing with the team less than a week earlier, who led the position group with 29 rushing yards on four carries. Through three games, White had averaged only 8.5 fantasy points per contest, and should he find himself splitting third-down reps with Ekeler upon his return, he will become all the more difficult to keep rostered outside of the deepest leagues.

Woody Marks News
Saturday, October 3, 5:37 AM
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks has been locked into a 50/50 timeshare this season with David Montgomery, but the buzz this week has been that the second-year back could be stepping into an expanded role in Week 4. The 0-3 Texans are looking for a spark for their offense, and Marks has looked more explosive than Montgomery, even though his overall totals have still been uninspiring. He did convert a one-yard run late in Indianapolis last week that put the Texans in the lead before a late field goal. Marks only had 15 rushing yards on five carries and one catch for six yards, but the touchdown saved his fantasy production. In Week 2, he also showed his upside as a receiver with five catches, so he has multiple paths to success. Marks is high-risk since the offensive line has struggled to create opportunities for either running back, but if he gets most of the work, he would have good upside in this favorable matchup against the Cowboys. Marks is a FLEX option in deep leagues already and checks in as the No. 28 RB in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings. If he takes over the majority of the work in the backfield, he could bring even more value going forward if the Texans can find a better rhythm in Week 4.
