You're going from a top five rushing attack to a bottom five rushing attack, and you're still splitting work. Think I'm good.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Montgomery is a 'dead zone' back in a poor Texans rushing attack.

The source advises against drafting David Montgomery, citing his move to a Texans offense that ranked 29th in yards per carry and 31st in rushing touchdowns in 2025. Despite his volume potential, the source views him as a 'dead zone' running back who is being drafted too high (around 50th-60th overall) compared to his historical ranking of 35th.
