Tyler Allgeier: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #49 at the position). Woody Marks: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) RB (ranked #36 at the position).

Tyler Allgeier vs Woody Marks: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Tyler Allgeier and Woody Marks is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Atlanta Falcons running back put up 6.8 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Woody Marks of the Houston Texans averaged 8.3 in 16. A 1.5-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 1.5 points favors Woody Marks, 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. Tyler Allgeier ran for 514 yards and 8 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: Tyler Allgeier is off Week 11 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: Tyler Allgeier (age 26) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Woody Marks (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
