According to Sportskeeda’s Who Should I Start Tool, Nick Chubb is in for a better-than-nothing day against the Buffalo Bills. Chubb is projected to earn 55.7 rushing yards with a 30% chance of a touchdown on the ground. The receiver is also expected to haul in a catch for 7.4 yards.

The running back overall is a bench player with starting upside in semi-desperate situations. However, how does Woody Marks stack up, and is he the better back to trust? Let’s continue.

Woody Marks is in line for a productive day against the Buffalo Bills. With Davis Mills under center, the team’s ability to throw the ball will be less than optimal, which sets up the running backs for extra work. Sportskeeda’s Who Should I Start Tool has projected Marks to earn 66.7 yards on the ground with a 50% chance of a touchdown.

He will also get some passes thrown his way, with about three catches for 18.9 yards in his future. Overall, he’s a quality option, but is he better than the former Cleveland Browns running back? Let’s get to the bottom of it.

In the end, Woody Marks gets the nod to face your opponent in fantasy football. Marks is in line to earn an additional five points more than Nick Chubb, making him the clear option. However, don’t expect a dominant breakout performance from Marks.

The Houston Texans are likely to trail for most of the day, which will set a ceiling on what Marks will be able to do in the second half. Even the most lopsided scores often take a half for enough possessions to take place to take the running backs out of it, but Marks is likely to be used plenty until that point.
