Fantasy Football Player Notes

Woody Marks left the Texans' game with an ankle injury (not before scoring on a fumble in the end zone at least).  With Nick Chubb already out, the Texans' backfield was led by Jawhar Jordan rushed for 101 yards on 15 carries against the Cardinals in his NFL debut.

Jordan gained 80 yards after contact, the 2nd-most by a Texans rusher this season, while forcing 7 missed tackles, tied for the most among Texans rushers this season. He was particularly effective on outside runs, rushing for 84 yards across 8 carries. Jordan also contributed in the passing game, catching 2 receptions for 17 yards, totaling 118 yards from scrimmage in his pro debut (Next Gen Stats).

DeMeco Ryans said later that Marks could have gone back into the game - making Jordan a fringy bet with Marks and/or Chubb also re-joining the backfield in Week 16. Still, Jordan is worth the add in case those guys aren't as healthy as the coaches are leading us to believe.

Also, can't ignore that it took one game for Jordan to hit 100 yards - something Marks has not done all season. Concerned that bell cow Woody might not reappear this season. Also, the Texans were back to their red-zone shenanigans, giving two GL carries to Dare Ogunbowale.
