David Montgomery | Texans ADP: 47.9 (RB20)...it now cements Montgomery as a standalone RB1—for the first time since his Bears days—in a run-first offense coupled with an elite defense...Don't be surprised if we get 2023 production out of Montgomery in 2026 at a massive discount.
STACKED’s take
Montgomery's Houston move cements RB1 role at RB20 ADP with 2023 upside.
Joe Metz targets Montgomery as a top dead-zone RB (ADP 47.9, RB20) in 2026 drafts. Montgomery's move to Houston cements him as a standalone RB1 in a run-first offense with elite defense for the first time since his Bears days. Metz projects 12.3 half-PPR points per game on 14.8 carries per game, matching his RB20 ADP but representing his mean outcome. Over three seasons in Detroit, Montgomery logged at least 15 carries in 15 games, averaging 16.5 rushes/game (2025), 18.6 rushes/game (2024), and 19.4 rushes/game (2023), with consistent TD production (0.5-1.13 per game). The Texans' addition of Foster Moreau, return of Cade Stover, and draft of Marlon Klein signal heavy personnel usage—a run-game staple. Metz expects 2023-level production from Montgomery at a massive discount, making him a strong RB2 option in dead-zone builds.
