David MontgomeryRBHOU
Derek Brown targets Montgomery as a mid-round value in 2026 after his RB32 finish in 2025 with Detroit. Montgomery joins Houston as the Texans' workhorse and should absorb a workload close to Joe Mixon's 2024 opportunity share (5th), snap share (14th), and carries (13th) among RBs, finishing with 281 touches. Brown projects Montgomery as a strong volume-driven RB2 that could flirt with RB1 production, citing superior per-touch metrics: he bested Woody Marks in explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, rushing success rate, yards after contact per attempt, and yards per route run.
