All Fantasy Footballers insights about David Montgomery
PositiveBreakoutAug 28, 2026
David Montgomery is projected as a potential RB1 breakout candidate similar to Javante Williams last year. He is the clear goal-line back for a high-powered Houston offense that struggled with goal-line conversion efficiency last season.NegativeUsageAug 24, 2026
The source expresses concern over reports from the Houston Chronicle suggesting the backfield workload could be close to a split between Montgomery and Woody Marks, rather than Montgomery being the clear workhorse as previously assumed.NegativeUsageAug 21, 2026
David Montgomery's status as a potential three-down back is under pressure due to Woody Marks' strong preseason performance. Although Montgomery was rested during the preseason game, which could imply he is the clear starter, the potential for a committee approach remains a concern for his fantasy value.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
David Montgomery is priced 15 picks behind his current ADP, suggesting he is a value according to the source's consensus projections.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
David Montgomery is a seventh-round pick on ESPN, which is considered a good value.NegativeRoleAug 13, 2026
The source describes David Montgomery as a reliable three-down back with touchdown upside, though notes he may lack the breakout potential of other options.NegativeRoleJul 21, 2026
David Montgomery is noted as the previous season's touchdown competition for Bijon Robinson in the Falcons offense; the source states 'David Montgomery was more involved, took more touchdowns,' indicating Montgomery's departure creates additional scoring opportunity for Robinson.PositiveRoleJul 18, 2026
Montgomery vacated 34 red zone carries, 14 inside-the-five carries, and 158 rushing attempts with the Lions, creating a significant workload opportunity for his replacement.PositiveProjectionJul 9, 2026
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.
