Montgomery's RB24 ADP ignores age cliff and Houston's poor veteran RB track record.
David MontgomeryRBHOU
The source cautions against Montgomery's RB1 hype at Rounds 6-7 ADP (RB24), despite his move from Detroit to Houston. Montgomery is 29 years old with approximately 1,500 career carries, placing him at the historical running back cliff threshold (28-29 years old). Houston's recent track record with veteran RB pickups is poor—Joe Mixon finished RB17 in 2024, but Nick Chubb, David Johnson, and Mark Ingram have underperformed. The source expects Montgomery to struggle to hit double-digit touchdowns as he did with the high-scoring Lions and predicts efficiency decline will make his sixth-round ADP difficult to return value on.
