Should I start Woody Marks or Josh Cameron in Week 9?

Updated Nov 3, 12:21 PM ET.

Start Woody Marks: 84 percent of the snaps and 65 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Josh Cameron's 44 percent of the snaps and 7 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size302 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Woody Marks, and the board ranks him 65th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Josh Cameron, and the board ranks him 66th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

The market-based projection for Woody Marks is 4.6 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Josh Cameron's market-based projection is 4.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 63rd highest figure of the 212 players with a market-based projection.

Woody Marks's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

Their 2025 seasons

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.

That came to 12.3 carries a game at 3.6 yards a carry and 1-2 catches a game.

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

Josh Cameron is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

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

Byes and availability

Woody Marks is off in Week 8 and Josh Cameron in Week 7, so either can cover the other's bye.

Woody Marks is listed as questionable on the injury report.

What would change the answer

Woody Marks has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
