Montgomery's elite per-touch metrics and Texans' workhorse role project RB2 with RB1 upside.
David MontgomeryRBHOU
Montgomery is now the Texans' do-it-all workhorse for 2026 after being phased out of Detroit's plans in 2025, finishing as RB32 in fantasy points per game. The source projects Montgomery as a strong volume-driven RB2 that could flirt with RB1 production, expecting him to absorb a workload close to what Joe Mixon saw in 2024 (5th in opportunity share, 14th in snap share, 13th in carries, 281 touches). Despite concerns about splitting work with Woody Marks, the source notes Montgomery bested Marks in every per-touch metric: explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, rushing success rate, yards after contact per attempt, and yards per route run.
