FantasyPros Articles on David Montgomery
From the article
With second-year pass-catching specialist Woody Marks and third-year sixth-round pick Jawhar Jordan, it is clearly Montgomery's backfield... Reports out of camp are that this line looks vastly improved compared to last year.
STACKED’s take
Montgomery's improved offensive line and clear backfield path offer RB1 upside in Houston.
Montgomery, currently RB24, has a viable path to RB1 status in Houston despite concerns about his 2025 Lions performance. The Texans addressed their league-worst offensive line by drafting Keylan Rutledge and adding Braden Smith and Wyatt Teller, with camp reports indicating vast improvement. Montgomery faces minimal backfield competition—Woody Marks is a second-year pass-catching specialist and Jawhar Jordan is a third-year sixth-round pick. The Texans' offense averaged 13th-most rushing attempts and points per game in 2025, meaning efficiency gains rather than volume increases could elevate Montgomery. Historical precedent: Joe Mixon finished RB9 in points per game in 2024 despite his offense scoring 1.7 fewer points per game than Houston's 2025 output, suggesting Montgomery's volume should drive confidence.
