Video6 Busts You’ll Regret Drafting Early in 2026August 27, 2026

From the video

the fifth player to avoid in the early rounds of your fantasy football draft is David Montgomery... he's also been steadily declining every year... I just can't see David Montgomery crushing his ADP.

Avoid Montgomery due to age, declining production, and backfield competition

Ron Stewart ranks David Montgomery as the RB25, below his consensus RB23 ADP, and advises against drafting him. Stewart cites Montgomery's age (29), declining production, and lack of bellcow status due to the emergence of Roschon Johnson. Montgomery also faces a poor offensive line (27th ranked) and a capped receiving ceiling due to Woody Marks, leading Stewart to prefer D'Onta Foreman and Khalil Herbert.
