David MontgomeryRBHOU

David Montgomery is a hold recommendation with RB1 opportunity and late 5th-round ADP value. The source notes that while Houston's offensive line wasn't strong last year, the team has made moves to improve it. Critically, Montgomery is no longer competing with Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit; as the RB1 in Houston, he has a clear path to volume. The source describes this as 'pretty enticing for those drafts with WR/TE heavy starts,' positioning him as a value anchor for late-round RB depth.
