RB behind only Henry in TD metrics; bell-cow upside in revamped Texans offense.
One of most underrated free-agent acquisitions this offseason, positioned for massive bell-cow upside in Houston Texans offense after being stuck behind Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit; over last three seasons, ranks behind only Derrick Henry in expected touchdown metric; even while splitting carries with Gibbs last year, was RB15 in red-zone carry rate at 62%; Texans implied to win 9.5 games (top-15 offense win equity), positioning Montgomery for positive game scripts with 15–18 carries and multiple touchdown upside; revamped Texans offensive line, healthy CJ Stroud, Nico Collins, and second-year receivers Jaylen Noel and Jaden Higgins create offense poised to leap; also capable receiver (50–54 receptions in past seasons, ~8–9 yards per reception), adding passing-game floor; should be Montgomery's backfield in full; makes sense in all team builds as RB2 option; going at end of fourth round or middle of fourth round in sharper formats; source is all in on Montgomery this season.
