Zachariason underweight on Montgomery; prefers upside over dead-zone archetype.
David MontgomeryRBHOU
JJ Zachariason characterizes Montgomery as a classic dead-zone running back archetype; not young, boosted by projection, and not an elite pass catcher. While he could get significant work, Zachariason is underweight on Montgomery because he prefers more tantalizing upside elsewhere, especially as a third running back in builds. He cautions against overweighting the Texans backfield given CJ Stroud's inconsistency since his rookie season and the run game's historical inefficiency.
