From the video
you look at the volume and it should be good for Monty... I see the possibility for Montgomery having 300 plus touches... if I only have one running back in the first three rounds at the round four, five term, I would be targeting Travis Etchen, David Montgomery, DeAndre Swift... Very close between the two. But now we have done what we talked about. We got Gibbs, we got Montgomery.
STACKED’s take
300+ touches projected; solid RB2 value at 4-5 turn.
Hartitz projects Montgomery for 300+ touches in the Texans offense despite concerns about offensive line quality and aging talent profile; he likes the fact that the Texans should be a really good football team, making Montgomery a round 4-5 target for second RB in his ideal draft strategy. Montgomery is one of three primary round 4-5 running back targets if only one RB is taken in the first three rounds, alongside Travis Etienne and DeAndre Swift. Hartitz includes Montgomery as a probable first-five-round running back target alongside Jamir Gibbs and DeAndre Swift, positioning him as a tier-one option in early-round draft strategy. Montgomery is positioned as one of the patch of running backs in rounds four and five that Hartitz would be willing to risk it for in the 101 draft position strategy, suggesting he offers value at that stage. Hartitz selected Montgomery over DeAndre Swift at the 4/5 turn, noting the two are very close in his rankings but choosing Montgomery. Hartitz drafts Montgomery as a solid RB2 option to complement Jamir Gibbs, Brock Bowers, and four premium wide receivers in his balanced roster construction.
