From the episode

this defense is very good. But it's probably not like best in the league so far... if the defense isn't one of the two or three best in the NFL and is rather like five to seven in the defensive rankings.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Texans defense ranking 5-7 eliminates positive script advantage for Montgomery.

Matt Harmon expresses total panic on Montgomery, noting the Texans defense is not a top-2 or top-3 unit (ranking 5-7 in defensive rankings), which undermines the bull case that Montgomery would consistently benefit from positive game script as a lead back. Even when Nico Collins returns and matchups improve (Cowboys, Titans, Jags, Giants in next four weeks), the defense's mediocrity limits script advantage.
