Woody Marks has some potential against the Arizona Cardinals. Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool has projected Marks to rush for 63.2 yards with a 50% chance of a touchdown. He is also expected to do some work in the receiving game with about three catches for 17.9 yards, but he is not expected to have any chance of scoring.

Saquon Barkley or Ashton Jeanty or Woody Marks: Final Verdict

Overall, Saquon Barkley is in for the best day in Week 15. The back hasn't been the same in 2025 as in 2024, but he is the best option this time. Barkley is projected to earn 15.8 points compared to 13.9 points for Ashton Jeanty and 13.7 points for Woody Marks.

Marks and Jeanty are both close in their projections, but Barkley sits in a tier of his own this week. As such, go with the Philadelphia Eagles running back.
