Kimani Vidal vs Woody Marks: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Kimani Vidal finished the 2025 season at 8.5 PPG over 13 games with the Los Angeles Chargers, while Woody Marks clocked in at 8.7 across 16 appearances for the Houston Texans. A 0.2-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Kimani Vidal ran for 643 yards and 3 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 scheduling note: Kimani Vidal is off Week 5 and Woody Marks Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
