Woody Marks News
Monday, September 14, 6:25 AM
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks didn't have a very flashy Week 1 performance, but reading deeper into some of the involvement numbers should give fantasy managers plenty of optimism. Teammate David Montgomery had 20 touches and three touchdowns on Sunday, but he was far less efficient, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry (compared to Marks' 4.7). Additionally, even though Montgomery had significantly more touches, Marks actually played one more snap than the veteran. This was a pretty equal split in terms of snap share, so we would expect the number of touches for both running backs to level out next week. Even with Montgomery healthy, there's some standalone low-end RB3 value here. Marks' next test will be the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.

Jadarian Price News
Thursday, September 10, 9:07 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price rushed for 52 yards on 10 carries against the New England Patriots on Wednesday night. He also added two receptions for six yards. Price started the game and ran ahead of fellow running back George Holani. The two finished with similar carry counts (10 to eight) and snap shares (48% to 46%). However, Price was the more effective back, with Holani only gaining 29 yards on his carries. The Seahawks' offense was out of sorts for much of this game, but Price still had a couple of explosive runs that were eye-popping. He is clearly the most talented healthy running back on the roster, and Seattle figures to use him more and more as the season progresses. While his overall fantasy output was pedestrian at best, Price was still the clear lead back. With quarterback Sam Darnold (hip) potentially a candidate to miss some time, Seattle may lean on the run even more moving forward. Expect the offense to right the ship sooner rather than later, giving Price plenty of chances to score fantasy points. He draws a juicy matchup with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2.
