From the episode
David Montgomery, and for a lot of people, this sounds like low-hanging fruit... if you're going to put seven men out blocking, he's got a real shot to have a massive volume ceiling, Dan... Definitely double-digit touchdowns are firmly in the good range of outcomes.
STACKED’s take
Houston RB bargain with elite blocking fit and double-digit TD floor.
Jim Coventry identifies Montgomery as an ADP bargain for Houston despite Woody Marks being slated as the receiving back. Coventry argues Montgomery's pass-blocking and receiving ability make him the primary option, especially in a scheme that will employ heavy personnel (12 personnel with multiple tight ends). Houston's elite defense and low-scoring games will create leads in the second half, positioning Montgomery for high-volume rushing opportunities. The Texans upgraded their offensive line (first-round pick Kalen Rutledge at center, Wyatt Teller, Braden Smith) and will load the box with blockers. Montgomery's broken tackle rate and narrow-jitter contact remained strong in 2024 despite Detroit's poor interior line; Coventry projects double-digit touchdowns as a floor outcome.
