During draft season, however, Monty was being taken as an RB2, even an RB3 in some cases. But when the dust settles on Week 1, he may be a top-five scoring RB in fantasy... he's locked in as an RB2 and may even have RB1 upside, similar to what we saw from Javonte Williams last season in Dallas.

Positive signalValue

Montgomery was disrespected in draft; Week 1 performance suggests RB1 upside and league-winner potential.

Montgomery was drafted as an RB2 or even RB3 during draft season but finished Week 1 as a top-five scoring RB with 27.4 fantasy points on 20 carries, 3 receptions, 93 total yards, and 1 touchdown. The source notes he may be a league-winner in 2026 given his locked-in RB2 status with potential RB1 upside similar to Javonte Williams in Dallas, plus Houston's favorable schedule over the next four weeks (vs. CIN, @ IND, vs. DAL, @ TEN) and expected positive game scripts for the run game.
