Who Should I Start? Woody Marks or Jaydon Blue

Saturday, December 6, 7:29 AM

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks has taken over most of the work in the backfield for the Texans, so he'll be a solid flex play on Sunday Night Football in Kansas City. Marks played 54% of snaps last week and led the team with 64 rushing yards on 19 carries against the Colts. The rookie from USC added a three-yard catch on his only target of the day, but Nick Chubb got the running back touchdown, and wide receiver Nico Collins also ran in a score. Marks missed practice early in the week with a foot injury but was able to get in a full session on Friday and avoid an injury designation. He hasn't been able to convert his workload to huge yardage or touchdowns, but he's getting enough volume to be a low-end RB2 or high-end flex option this week, even in a tough matchup against the Chiefs. Marks is the No. 23 RB in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, as he and the Texans look to claim a fifth straight victory.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue impressed the coaching staff in training camp and the preseason, leading to him being a late-round dart throw in fantasy football drafts. Blue has been unable to carry over that momentum during the summer into his first NFL season, though, as he's been active for only four games in 2025. The 21-year-old fifth-round selection out of Texas didn't make his debut until Week 5, and he has been a healthy scratch in four consecutive games since he fumbled the ball away in the team's Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. It seemed as though Blue had a clear path to RB2 duties after Miles Sanders had season-ending knee surgery, but Malik Davis has ascended the depth chart behind starter Javonte Williams instead. In his four games this year, Blue has only 22 carries for 65 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. Blue should only be stashed in keeper/dynasty leagues.
