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
Held in check by Pats
Marks carried the ball 14 times for 17 yards and caught two of three targets for 19 yards during the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
ANALYSIS
Houston couldn't get much of anything going on the ground, and Marks' turnover was one of five by the Texans and eight in total by both teams in cold, wet conditions at Foxborough. Marks went the entire regular season without losing a fumble, so ball security shouldn't be an issue for him in 2026, and the fourth-round pick out of USC had a successful rookie campaign with 911 scrimmage yards and five total TDs in 16 regular-season games. It remains to be seen whether the Texans will look to expand his role next year or bring in a back more adept at running between the tackles to work in tandem with Marks.

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.
