From the article

Montgomery's awesome Week 1 is worth celebrating... The Bengals are certainly better on defense after offseason moves, but they were literally the worst rushing defense in 2025 (147 YPG)... Montgomery is a volume-based RB2.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Montgomery's favorable Bengals matchup and volume-based role support RB2 projection.

Montgomery generated 20.8 expected half-PPR points in his debut based on usage, including three straight carries within the two-yard line and a play-action TD catch from seven yards out. The source notes his Week 2 matchup against Cincinnati is favorable; the Bengals allowed 147 rushing yards per game in 2025 (worst in league), and the Texans project for 24.75 points (eighth). Teams faced the Bengals with relentless run-game calls in neutral situations last year. Montgomery is characterized as a volume-based RB2.
