Montgomery gets workhorse role in Houston; RB23 ADP offers RB2 floor with RB1 upside.
Texans acquired Montgomery from Lions to fill void left by Joe Mixon's season-ending injury. Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 says Montgomery will get the workhorse role his career has shown he can handle: "He can do it all." Montgomery never finished outside RB2 territory in four seasons in Chicago, including an RB5 campaign in 2020. In Detroit, he delivered top-20 fantasy finishes in 2023 and 2024 despite sharing backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs, though his role shrank from 219 carries in 2023 to 158 last season. Wilson believes Texans are building offense around Montgomery as bell cow, same approach that made Mixon RB10 on points-per-game basis in his first year in Houston. At RB23 ADP, healthy Montgomery getting that volume should easily deliver RB2 pricing with real RB1 weeks mixed in.
