Their 2025 seasons

Carnell Tate is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Woody Marks played 16 games and scored 151.1 PPR points, 9.4 a game, finishing RB29.

He carried 196 times for 703 yards and 2 touchdowns, and caught 24 of 36 targets for 208 more yards.

He was on the field for 53 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Carnell Tate is a wide receiver and Woody Marks a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Carnell Tate is off in Week 9 and Woody Marks in Week 8, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.3 points a game is the entire case. The books restate it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
