Outlook David Montgomery
Veteran Touch Volume and Red-Zone Role Anchor High-Floor RB2 Appeal
David Montgomery steps into Houston's backfield as the lead option alongside Woody Marks. While camp reports indicate a shared backfield with Marks, Montgomery's veteran dependability and red-zone prowess establish him as the primary early-down runner in an ascending offense led by C.J. Stroud.
Our projections forecast a productive campaign, modeling Montgomery for 227 carries, 940 rushing yards, and seven touchdowns on the ground, adding 30 receptions for 191 fantasy points. His nose for the end zone provides a stable floor in all formats.
Draft market trends show Montgomery's ADP holding steady in the fifth round around pick 57. With fantasy manager start rates climbing past 80% through August, our data views him as a reliable, high-floor RB2 value at his current draft price.

Outlook Jeremiyah Love
High-Ceiling Rookie Poised For Arizona's Lead Backfield Role
Jeremiyah Love enters his rookie campaign atop Arizona's backfield depth chart, positioned ahead of Tyler Allgeier and James Conner. After an electric 14-touch preseason debut generating 73 total yards, he appears primed to handle primary rushing and receiving duties for the Cardinals offense.
In draft markets, Love's ADP has softened from pick 21 into the late-20s following a mid-August high-ankle sprain. With recent agility drills showing clear progress toward Week 1 and surgery avoided, this minor market dip presents an enticing draft-day value in 1.0 PPR leagues.
Our models project 230 carries for 1,010 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, alongside 40 receptions on 70 targets for 256 fantasy points. That high-volume dual-threat profile makes Love an upside-rich RB2 with weekly RB1 potential as long as he stays healthy.
