The Houston Texans have oscillated a little bit in the backfield this year.

The veteran Nick Chubb and the rookie Woody Marks have both found their way to various roles.

In Week 15, though, it will likely be more straightforward.

Chubb is questionable with a rib injury. He's not expected to play, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

That leaves all the carries for Marks.

He'll probably come out on third downs sometimes for Dare Ogunbowale, but otherwise, this will be the Marks show.

They're taking on the Arizona Cardinals, who had a solid defensive start to the season but are reeling of late.

If you're counting on Marks in fantasy, he's a solid play. He shouldn't get goal line action taken from him, and he has a guaranteed solid floor of touches.

The opposing Cardinals have also had a decent amount of success throwing the ball of late. If this game gets more high-scoring than some Texans contests, it could mean more chances for Marks to find the end zone.

Assuming Chubb is indeed out, the decision with Marks this week is easier than it has been some other weeks. Fire him up with confidence.
