Outlook David Montgomery

David Montgomery at Tennessee — Searching for Ground Efficiency in Low-Scoring Divisional Clash

Montgomery remains Houston's starting running back on the depth chart, but he has operated in a clear rotation with Woody Marks, managing just 2.7 yards per carry over his last two outings. After an explosive three-touchdown debut, his rushing volume has tapered to around 10 to 11 carries per game, though he continues to hold the team's primary early-down and goal-line responsibilities.

For this matchup against the Titans, our models project Montgomery for roughly 11–12 carries, 35 rushing yards, and modest receiving work with meaningful touchdown equity. While his start rate has dipped toward 71% amid recent inefficiency, Houston entering as a 7.5-point favorite in a projected low-scoring defensive slugfest keeps game script on his side. Fantasy managers can view him as a solid flex option.

Outlook Dohnte Meyers

Dohnte Meyers at Miami — Emerging Opportunity in a Banged-Up Receiving Corps

Meyers' role has expanded rapidly over the past two weeks, culminating in a seven-catch, 82-yard performance on nine targets. With Andrei Iosivas on injured reserve and top receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both missing practice early in the week, Meyers is positioned for significant snaps in Cincinnati's offense.

Fantasy managers have taken notice, driving his roster mark up to 27%. While our weekly projection sits conservatively at 5.4 fantasy points on roughly two catches for 24 yards, Meyers brings genuine upside as a flex streamer against an 0-4 Dolphins team if Cincinnati's stars are sidelined.
