Outlook David Montgomery

David Montgomery Sidelined for London Matchup Against Jaguars

Montgomery did not travel with the Texans to London and has officially been ruled out for Week 6 against the Jaguars due to a groin injury suffered last week. Head coach DeMeco Ryans noted that the veteran running back is week-to-week, which leaves backfield duties to Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale for this neutral-site clash.

With our weekly projection assigning him 0 fantasy points, fantasy managers need to park Montgomery safely on benches this week. He previously displayed his scoring upside with a three-touchdown performance in his Texans debut, making him a priority stash. Fantasy managers should check back often for updates on his practice status heading into Week 7.
