David Montgomery | Fantasy Outlook

Reliable Touchdown Equity Delivers High Floor RB2 Value in Houston

Now donning Texans colors, David Montgomery enters the year atop the backfield depth chart. While reports suggest Woody Marks will see meaningful work in a shared backfield, Montgomery remains the clear priority on early downs and around the goal line, offering immediate scoring stability to Houston's offense.

Our models project Montgomery for 227 carries, 935 rushing yards, and seven touchdowns, paired with 30 catches for 215 yards. Entering his eighth season, his reliable, physical running profile ensures steady weekly volume and a dependable scoring baseline as a strong RB2 in standard and PPR formats.

In drafts, Montgomery's ADP hovered around pick 50 before drifting into the low 60s as committee concerns grew. With his start rate rising to 79% and roster ownership at 100%, that slight market hesitation turns him into an enticing value steal for managers seeking established touchdown equity.
