Montgomery's volume-based profile masks concerns about play-calling, offensive line, and dead-zone ADP.
David MontgomeryRBHOU
The source expresses hesitation with Montgomery as a fifth-round pick on Yahoo, noting that his primary selling point is volume alone—not age, explosiveness, or offensive line quality. Nick Cailey's 19-game play-calling sample shows his ball carriers ranked dead last in explosive run rate and fifth worst in dead run rate; the Texans' new offensive line (Wyatt Teller on the fringe of retirement, rookie center Caitlin Rutledge, Ed Ingram, and Braden Smith with injury concerns) is not a solved position. The source terms Montgomery a desperation running back play in the running back dead zone, especially given the Texans' projected 23 points per game versus the Lions' 28 last year.
