Montgomery is set to handle his highest workload since 2019-2022, when he was the lead back in Chicago... He simply hasn't been asked to handle those sorts of duties while being paired with Gibbs.

Montgomery at highest workload since 2022; offers value in PPR despite past role.

Montgomery makes the must-have list due to consistency, price point, and increased opportunities with Houston. At 29 years old, he is a downfield bruising runner who excels at the goal line and in short-yardage situations. He is set to handle his highest workload since 2019-2022 when he was Chicago's lead back. Splitting carries with Jahmyr Gibbs over the last three seasons has kept him fresh. Concerns about PPR value are overblown; Montgomery caught 96 passes in a two-year stretch and simply hasn't been asked to handle receiving duties while paired with Gibbs. Woody Marks is expected to be only a change-of-pace back.
