Tank Bigsby or Woody Marks: Who Should You Start?

2026 Week 4 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.

Marks' committee role outweighs Bigsby's softer matchup

Marks has the more usable path to touches: a 45% snap share is a real advantage over Bigsby's change-of-pace role, even with Marks sharing work behind David Montgomery. Bigsby's better matchup and downhill style offer touchdown potential, but his 16% snap share and 4% target share leave little margin for a quiet game. Marks' 8.3-point projection versus 3.0 is meaningful at this end of the RB pool, though his light pass-game role keeps both players on the bench rather than turning this into a start recommendation.

What flips it: A pregame promotion that gives Bigsby a lead-back workload.

Why Tank Bigsby

Sit

Backup RB and change-of-pace power runner. Downhill one-cut style behind the starter.

Sit — bench-tier RB at consensus RB51: 4% target share, 2.9 PPR projected vs LAR.

  • His power-running style gives him a path to a short-yardage score if Philadelphia reaches the goal line.
  • The softer matchup is a real plus, but it needs more work than his change-of-pace role usually provides.

Why Woody Marks

Sit

RB2 behind David Montgomery. Between-the-tackles committee back who carried 196 times for 703 yards as a rookie with light pass-game usage.

Sit — bench-tier RB at consensus RB44: 7% target share, 8.3 PPR projected vs DAL.

  • His rookie workload shows he can handle early-down carries when the committee gives him room.
  • The limited receiving profile makes a falling-behind game script a particular threat to his PPR floor.
