Who Should I Start? Woody Marks or Tahj Brooks

Saturday, November 15, 5:44 AM

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks is a decent RB2 and an excellent flex play this week in his rematch with the Titans. In Week 4, he went off for a huge game in his first game against this division foe, racking up 69 rushing yards on 17 carries and adding 50 receiving yards on four catches. He also had one rushing score and one receiving score, and he was back in the end zone last week against the Jaguars, taking 14 carries for 53 yards and adding two catches for 18 yards. The rookie seems to have taken a lead in the backfield over Nick Chubb, but Chubb will still be involved, especially if the Texans are playing from ahead. Marks is the No. 17 running back in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11, and the Titans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, giving him a high ceiling this week.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks hasn't done much of anything in his inaugural year. He had the chance to at least claim the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Chase Brown. While that wasn't expected early in the season, most had assumed he'd take over as the backup by now. However, that hasn't happened, with Samaje Perine (ankle) still absorbing nearly all of Brown's surplus carries while seeing limited action as a pass-catcher. With Perine ruled out for the Week 11 AFC North battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers, there's potential for Brooks to get more involved. Unfortunately, Brooks likely won't see much more work, if any, which isn't good news for those in need of a deep league streaming option on Sunday. For now, the rookie should be stashed on dynasty rosters while having virtually no redraft value.
