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 Roman Wilson

Roman Wilson vs IND — Surging Slot Option Looking to Stay Hot

Operating out of the slot with Aaron Rodgers, Wilson is building steady momentum after posting 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns across his last two games. His practice scare last week proved minor, and his clean health status keeps him entrenched as a regular contributor in Pittsburgh's three-receiver sets.

Fantasy managers have taken notice, boosting his roster rate to 31% this week. With fellow wideout Michael Pittman Jr. questionable with a foot injury, Wilson could see extra opportunities. Our models project him for 8.7 fantasy points on about 3 catches and 40 yards, making him a viable deep-league flex option against the Colts.
