I'm not buying the offseason narratives that the Texans backfield will be a 50/50 split. David Montgomery will likely operate as the team's workhorse.

Montgomery earns workhorse role in Houston; elite per-touch metrics trump 2025 decline.

Montgomery will likely operate as the Texans' workhorse, not a 50/50 split as offseason narratives suggest. Despite being phased out in Detroit's Weeks 12-18 stretch (RB43 in fantasy points per game, 32.1% snap rate, 8.2 touches per game), Montgomery still has elite per-touch metrics: 12th in yards after contact per attempt, 22nd in yards per route run, and 12th in first downs per route run. He bested Jaylen Warren in explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, rushing success rate, yards after contact per attempt, and yards per route run—every per-touch metric that matters.
