Justice Hill vs Woody Marks: Who Should You Start?
Justice Hill and Woody Marks are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Justice Hill averaged 5.5 PPG across 10 games with the Baltimore Ravens, while Woody Marks posted 8.7 PPG in 16 appearances for the Houston Texans.
A 3.2-PPG gap gives Woody Marks the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Justice Hill ran for 93 yards and 2 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.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
