FantasyPros Articles on David Montgomery
From the article
The best RB value pick based on current ECR is David Montgomery. He is RB24 in ECR, and although Houston has struggled with their offensive line play and overall offensive output, Monty should get most of the RB touches in what projects to be a somewhat improved line and offense. Monty finished as the RB27 last year with only 182 total touches while playing second fiddle to Gibbs.
STACKED’s take
Montgomery's RB24 ranking is undervalued given his 300-touch upside and Gibbs departure.
Montgomery is ranked RB24 in ECR and represents the best RB value pick according to multiple sources. Despite Houston's offensive line struggles, Montgomery should receive most RB touches in what projects to be an improved line and offense. He finished RB27 last year with only 182 total touches while playing second fiddle to Jahmir Gibbs; now without Gibbs, he should approach 300 touches and finish at least RB24. Woody Marks poses minimal competition. Montgomery finished 2025 with 158 rushing carries for 716 yards and 8 TDs (4.5 yards per attempt), forced 29 missed tackles, and averaged 3.2 yards after contact per attempt. The Texans' elite defense and improved offensive line should enable a run-heavy game script. One source calls him a "3-down back" in the "2024 Joe Mixon role" with "RB10 numbers." He is locked in as a weekly high-end RB2 with upside for more.
