While these may be opportunities to pass block on third downs, it is a positive report for Woody Marks who is ticketed for a specialized third-down and pass-catching role in 2026 season following the acquisition of veteran David Montgomery. Barrett further commented, “I think the key for Woody is understanding his role, which he does. He’s going to get lots of opportunities. Last year we brought him along slower, which was good to help him kind of learn the game.”

Marks handled a heavy workload as a rookie, logging 196 rush attempts and a 52-percent snap share, but he was inefficient, averaging under 3.6 yards per carry with a long gain of only 23 yards. Marks’ fantasy upside now shifts entirely to the air, where his 22.0-percent college target share at USC suggests he can easily outperform last year’s 24 receptions. He offers both standalone value in negative game script situations as well as massive contingent fantasy football value if Montgomery misses time. Marks is the perfect Zero RB option in the mid to late rounds this summer.
