2025 Fantasy Outlook
Marks (5-foot-10, 207 pounds) might not have the anchor or strength to thrive on power concepts, but he could make his mark in the NFL as a pass catcher. He played more passing-down snaps in two years at Mississippi State than most running backs do in four years of college, and he then became a three-down back in his one season at USC, running for 1,133 yards at 5.7 yards per carry. As much as it's unlikely that Marks becomes a workhorse in the NFL, his path to rookie-year snaps got much easier when Joe Mixon struggled to recover from an offseason foot/ankle injury. Mixon is now ruled out for at least the first four games of the regular season, leaving Marks to compete with Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale for backifled snaps. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $5.2 million contract with the Texans in May of 2025.
Leads backfield in win over Jags
Marks carried the ball 14 times for 63 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
The rookie RB led the Texans' backfield with 16 touches (to Nick Chubb's six) and 81 scrimmage yards to the veteran's 52, and Marks capped his strong performance with a one-yard TD plunge in the second quarter. He's seen double-digit carries in four straight games as he continues to push his way to the top of the depth chart, and Marks could deliver another big performance in Week 11 against the Titans -- a defense he erupted for 119 combined yards and two touchdowns against in Week 4.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Injuries to other RBs clear path
Marks could have a clear path to significant playing time out of the gate, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Joe Mixon is expected to face an extended absence and will be re-evaluated closer to the beginning of the regular season due to a foot injury.
ANALYSIS
Mixon is on the active/non-football injury list, while Dameon Pierce is on the active/PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, leaving Marks and Nick Chubb as Houston's top two healthy running backs in training camp. Chubb averaged just 3.3 yards per carry in 2024 after returning from a significant knee injury, so Marks is well positioned to take on a significant role out of the gate, and the rookie fourth-round pick from USC could even open his career atop the depth chart if Mixon's injury lingers into the regular season.
