Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Woody Marks

Thursday, November 12, 7:41 AM

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (knee) is not practicing during the portion open to reporters on Thursday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Meanwhile, David Montgomery (groin) was at practice after missing Wednesday's session. Marks was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, so it is unclear if he has suffered a setback with his knee or if the Texans are taking it easy on him. Until we know more, the 25-year-old's status for the Week 10 contest this weekend against the Cleveland Browns is up in the air. And if Marks is available to play, his fantasy football value could take a hit with fewer touches if Montgomery returns to the backfield fold. Marks has seen at least 15 carries in each of the last four games with Montgomery banged up, but in his three starts, he has left plenty to be desired, averaging 3.7 yards per carry with 192 rushing yards and no touchdowns for the Texans. His volume will definitely be cut once Monty returns to action, which could come this weekend against Cleveland if he continues to improve from his groin injury. Marks has 95 carries for 341 yards (3.6 yards per attempt) and two rushing touchdowns in eight games this year, catching 15 of 21 targets for 98 yards as a receiver.
