Authors' league winner pick (RB24 ADP); posted Top 5 fantasy season on bad Bears team; going to Houston with best defense in league and offense with nowhere to go but up; Nico Collins healthy, line addressed; goal-line back; caught 60+ passes in season before; no Jahmyr Gibbs taking half work. Community strongly disagrees: most blatant dead zone RB in a while; Year 7 guy with only 2x 1000-yard seasons; clear role with solid volume but unappealing upside; revamped OL still ranking near bottom; 3.6 YPC as lead back last year; boring dead-zone RB for 5 straight years; old, wasn't good last year, terrible OL, probably won't catch many passes, zero upside. Authors counter: Monty underrated as...

This idea applies to running backs too, to a much lesser extent (i5 carries make up small % of overall RB workload). But it paints David Montgomery in a pretty good light: YPC outside opponent's 5: 4.96 League-average RB carry outside 5: 4.54 Jahmyr Gibbs: 5.18 [Quoted](

PositiveValueJul 24, 2026RotoWire
RotoWire positions Montgomery as a 2026 ADP value comparable to 2024 Joe Mixon (RB9, 17.2 PPR PPG in Houston). Montgomery is available at mid to low-end RB2 prices but projects to flirt with RB1 value in production; the source calls him a 'smash pick' with high floor and RB1 upside. He is confirmed as the unquestioned bellcow for his team and remains efficient on both ground and air. On a per-touch basis among RBs with 100+ carries, he ranked 12th in yards of contact per attempt, 22nd in yards per route run, 12th in first downs per route run, and 30th in missed tackle rate. Montgomery significantly outperformed teammate Woody Marks on every efficiency metric that matters for RB evaluation: explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, rushing success, yards of contact per attempt, and yards per route run—the source emphasizes Montgomery 'lapped' Marks across all these dimensions, establishing clear talent separation.

This won’t be an even split everyone. I’m told David Montgomery will likely have slightly more here but the vision (and it’s early) is for Woody Marks to build on last season especially with the help of Montgomery and hopefully see a significant amount of reps. How that shakes out? TBD Woody played last year bc he was their best guy. By all account, Montgomery is leading on and off the field and that benefits the young guys. [Retweeted](

Jane Slater reports split reps expected with Woody Marks; community consensus is this is training camp coach speak and Montgomery will dominate by season. Strong belief he'll get 60–70% of touches, nearly all red zone/short-yardage work, and goal-line carries. Concerns: age 28/29 on 3rd team, moving from Detroit (7th pass blocking, 9th rushing, 21 rushing TDs) to Houston (18th pass blocking, 29th rushing, 9 rushing TDs); last year behind Gibbs limited him to 29 targets vs. 94 for Gibbs. Offsetting factors: veteran doesn't need training camp reps; Marks is poor in pass pro and short yardage; Montgomery is proven commodity. ADP context: 5th round range, RB2/3 territory; some see him as RB4...

David Montgomery has 16 games with a snap rate above 60% over the past four seasons (three DET seasons - only one game played without Jahmyr - one CHI season) Averages: - 71% snap rate - 18.6 touches - 86 scrimmage yards - 14.9 Fantasy points (PPR) 20+ touches in six games (would have tied Chase Brown/Javonte Williams/Breece Hall/Rico Dowdle as RB10 last year)
