From the episode

The biggest takeaway, though, to me, we'll come back to the past game. I do want to talk about Nico Collins a little bit more in this game. But to me, the biggest note was actually in the run game where Dave Montgomery scores three touchdowns.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Montgomery's three-TD debut highlights his role as the Texans' primary goal-line back.

Matt Harmon notes that while Montgomery's 20 carries for 60 yards (3.0 YPC) looks underwhelming, his three touchdowns and usage in heavy personnel packages were key. The Texans' rushing success rate of 48.3% was a significant improvement, and Montgomery was the clear goal-line back, which depressed his YPC but provided high fantasy value.
