The Houston Texans may have a solution.
They've been trying to figure out their running game since the preseason, given that Joe Mixon is out for an extended period of time.
Early on, that meant a heck of a lot of Nick Chubb.
But in Week 4, it meant Woody Marks.
The rookie had career-highs in carries (17), touches (21), snaps (41), receiving yards (50) and touchdowns (2) against the Titans.
Chubb had just 11 carries for 47 yards.
It doesn't seem like the Texans would hand the entire reins to the young back.

But after the preseason injury to Mixon, Houston has been open to whatever situation looks to be the best.
The reality is that Marks may be the best option in the meantime.
Marks began his college career as a great pass-catching RB, and by his final season at USC, he was also a great ball carrier.
Houston has certainly found a good one in Marks. The only question at this point is just how much he can really play at this stage of proceedings.
Don't be surprised for Marks to keep outpacing Chubb.
