No. 25 ADP RB with lead-back role and goal-line work in Houston.

David MontgomeryRBHOU

Montgomery's No. 25 positional ADP paints the picture of a relative fantasy bargain. He's coming off his worst season in a supporting role behind Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit, but in his first two years there he placed in the top 15 at the position in fantasy points per game (12th in 2023, 15th in 2024). In Houston, he's expected to serve as the lead back, taking the reins from Woody Marks, and this is his best opportunity for a big rushing workload in three years. He's likely to handle the bulk of goal-line chances and is a plenty capable fantasy RB2.
