Fantasy Tiers

Trey Benson: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #46 at the position). Woody Marks: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) RB (ranked #36 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Trey Benson is producing at 33% of elite pace and Woody Marks at 38%. That ranking gap means Woody Marks carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Trey Benson vs Woody Marks: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Trey Benson finished the 2025 season at 7.2 PPG over 4 games with the Arizona Cardinals, while Woody Marks clocked in at 8.3 across 16 appearances for the Houston Texans. A 1.1-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. Trey Benson ran for 160 yards and undefined 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: Trey Benson is off Week 14 and Woody Marks Week 8. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Trey Benson (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Woody Marks (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
