From the episode

I think that like, if you want to talk about a generally sort of the archetype of a dead zone running back, I do think that David Montgomery checks a lot of those boxes where he's not young...I'm underweight on Montgomery because I just think there's more tantalizing upside with some other players that are going around him.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Zachariason underweight on Montgomery; prefers upside over dead-zone archetype.

JJ Zachariason characterizes Montgomery as a classic dead-zone running back archetype; not young, boosted by projection, and not an elite pass catcher. While he could get significant work, Zachariason is underweight on Montgomery because he prefers more tantalizing upside elsewhere, especially as a third running back in builds. He cautions against overweighting the Texans backfield given CJ Stroud's inconsistency since his rookie season and the run game's historical inefficiency.
