Outlook Bam Knight

Buried on Arizona's Depth Chart and Off Fantasy Draft Radars

Bam Knight finds himself deeply buried in Arizona's backfield rotation, sitting behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier on the depth chart. Despite injuries elsewhere in the room with James Conner on injured reserve, Knight struggled for efficiency last year, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry across 11 games.

Fantasy drafters have completely abandoned ship in 1.0 PPR leagues over the summer. After trading near ADP 360 in July, his draft cost plummeted past 900 in late August as his roster rate crashed down to two percent. Our projections align with this market drop, viewing him as a fading asset.

With our season projections forecasting zero fantasy points and no guaranteed offensive workload, Knight does not warrant draft consideration in standard formats. Unless catastrophic injuries reshape the depth chart, fantasy managers can safely leave him on the waiver wire.

Outlook David Montgomery

Lead Backfield Role in Houston Offers Strong Draft-Day Value

Following his offseason trade to Houston, David Montgomery enters the 2026 season atop the Texans' backfield depth chart. While camp reports indicate a near-even split with rookie Woody Marks, Montgomery’s veteran poise and interior power make him the clear favorite for primary early-down carries and critical goal-line touches in C.J. Stroud’s offense.

Our models project Montgomery for 227 rushing attempts, 935 yards, and seven touchdowns, paired with 30 receptions for 215 yards. Even if he cedes some third-down reps, his scoring upside in this productive offense ensures consistent fantasy utility and a steady weekly floor.

In the draft market, Montgomery’s ADP has steadily drifted from pick 50 down into the mid-60s over the past month as committee concerns emerged. For fantasy managers in full-PPR formats, this late-summer slide turns him into an outstanding draft-day bargain rather than an over-hyped reach.
