Javonte Williams vs Woody Marks: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Javonte Williams and Woody Marks is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Dallas Cowboys running back put up 14.1 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Woody Marks of the Houston Texans averaged 8.7 in 16. A 5.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.4 points favors Javonte Williams, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Javonte Williams ran for 1201 yards and 11 touchdowns; Woody Marks posted 703 and 2. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Javonte Williams has his bye in Week 7, and Woody Marks rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
