  "account": "In the latest updates on fantasy football prospects for 2026, Houston Texans running back Woody Marks is expected to have limited playing time. Drafting Marks is considered a strategic move to have a safety net, particularly in case of injury to David Montgomery, who is entering his age-29 season. While Marks has managed to catch three touchdowns throughout his career, his overall performance, including a sluggish 3.6 yards per carry last year, does not suggest he will become a high-volume fantasy playmaker. The offensive line is anticipated to improve, which may slightly enhance Marks' efficiency, but it is unlikely that he will see significant touches. This assessment is based on the Houston Texans' offseason moves, which clearly indicate their preference for other players, especially Nico Collins and David Montgomery.",
  "summary": "Evaluating Woody Marks through a fantasy football lens requires a realistic assessment of a player whose team has already shown us exactly how they feel about his standalone role. Selected as a fourth-round pick last year, Marks struggled with efficiency, posting a sluggish 3.",
