Outlook David Montgomery
David Montgomery at Tennessee — Grinding Workload Expected in a Low-Scoring Matchup
Montgomery continues to lead Houston's backfield alongside Woody Marks, though efficiency has been elusive behind an offensive line managing multiple recent illnesses. The Texans' ground game mustered just 46 yards on 16 combined carries last week, but Montgomery remains the preferred early-down runner and primary goal-line hammer.
Facing a winless Titans team in a projected defensive grind with a low 38-point total, Montgomery's fantasy outlook hinges on scoring territory looks. We project him for roughly 11 carries, 35 rushing yards, and modest passing involvement for around 11 fantasy points, making him a viable, touchdown-dependent flex play this week.

Outlook Mike Washington
Mike Washington at New England — Expanding Early-Down Work Creates Deep-League Intrigue
Washington operates as the primary complement behind Ashton Jeanty on the depth chart, but his role is noticeably expanding. With Jeanty managing an ankle issue and shifting more toward passing downs, recent reports confirm the Raiders are handing Washington additional early-down carries. The rookie has made the most of his opportunities, averaging 5.1 yards per carry across his last two outings.
Despite the increased rushing work, Washington's weekly floor is fragile due to minimal passing-game involvement. Our weekly projection pencils him in for around 5 carries and 24 rushing yards against New England, keeping him largely sidelined in standard lineups. He profiles as an upside bench stash who needs a goal-line score to return flex-worthy value.
