From the episode

My projection for him is that he will carry a lion's share of this backfield... 12 touchdowns for David Montgomery is not unreasonable at all... he had 13 and a thousand in 2023 and he was the running back 13... I think he's built for it... I think he's the one that can do it.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Montgomery's three-down role and elite defense support 12-TD projection despite age.

The source is increasingly optimistic on David Montgomery for Houston. He will carry a lion's share of the backfield as a three-down back, and the source projects 12 touchdowns as reasonable. Montgomery is a volume guy who will benefit from Houston's elite defense keeping them in leads late in games, allowing him to salt the clock away. At 29 years old and in year nine, he's the exact profile the source usually bets against, but the source believes he can sustain a featured role for 14 quality games. He had 13 touchdowns and 1,000 yards in 2023 when he finished as RB13.
