Montgomery's RB20 ADP undervalues his bell-cow role in a smashmouth offense.
The Texans traded for Montgomery to fill the void left by Joe Mixon's lost 2025 season. Montgomery never finished outside RB2 territory in four years with Chicago, including an RB5 campaign in 2020. In Detroit, even splitting work with Jahmyr Gibbs, he delivered two more top-20 seasons. Texans insider Aaron Wilson says Montgomery "can do it all" and the Texans are building a "smashmouth" offense around Montgomery as the bell cow -- the same approach that made Mixon RB10 on a per-game basis in 2024. Without Mixon, Nick Chubb flopped and the run game ranked 22nd in the league, getting stonewalled in the playoff loss to New England. Montgomery's ADP sits at RB20 with a late-fourth-round price. Given the volume, he should outperform that easily with RB1 weeks in the mix.
