Outlook J.K. Dobbins
J.K. Dobbins vs. SEA — Primary Backfield Role Offers Flex Appeal
Dobbins leads Denver's backfield while rookie Jonah Coleman remains sidelined on injured reserve, leaving RJ Harvey as the primary change-of-pace option. Despite facing public scrutiny over a sluggish 3.6 yards per carry start to the season, Dobbins rebounded in his last outing with 18 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown, signaling his clear grasp on early-down duties.
With a projected defensive battle against Seattle, our models expect Dobbins to handle around 13 to 14 carries for roughly 52 rushing yards and modest passing work. Currently started in roughly 42% of fantasy leagues, his minimal receiving profile caps his ceiling, but his steady volume keeps him in play as a viable flex option.

Outlook David Montgomery
David Montgomery Sidelined for London Matchup — Week-to-Week Moving Forward
David Montgomery has officially been ruled out and did not travel with the team to London for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars after suffering a groin injury that head coach DeMeco Ryans labeled week-to-week. With Montgomery unavailable, Woody Marks is positioned to step into expanded backfield duties for Houston alongside Dare Ogunbowale.
Our weekly projection sits at 0 fantasy points with Montgomery sidelined, leading his start percentage to tumble down to 8%. Fantasy managers should immediately move him to bench or IR spots this week. Prior to the injury, Montgomery had logged 52 carries and scored three touchdowns in his Texans debut, cementing his lead role when healthy. Be sure to check back often for updates regarding his recovery timeline ahead of Week 7.
