Rachaad White vs Woody Marks: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Rachaad White finished the 2025 season at 7.2 PPG over 17 games with the Washington Commanders, while Woody Marks clocked in at 8.7 across 16 appearances for the Houston Texans. A 1.5-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.
Rachaad White is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 40 targets into 218 yards, while Woody Marks profiles as a more traditional rusher with 703 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats Rachaad White carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
