Nick Chubb suffered a rib injury early in the Houston Texans win versus the Kansas City Chiefs and ended up finishing with just one carry. Woody Marks left the game shortly with an ankle injury but returned to finish the game.

In Chubb’s absence Marks dominated the backfield. Marks totaled 28 touches and scored on a C.J. Stroud touchdown pass. He did cede one carry to Dare Ogunbowale from the five yard line that led to a score.

Marks finishing the game last week should give fantasy managers some comfort that his absence from practice is just precautionary, with his current workload he’s a locked in running back two.
