Adam Levitan rates Montgomery around 50 overall and does not find him exciting; he does not create much on his own and Levitan prefers wide receivers in that range (Luther Burden, McLaurin, Devontae Adams, Jamison Williams, Mike Evans) on DraftKings. Levitan's broader point is that Montgomery and Marks should not be moving based on coach quotes about backfield usage, as such reports often lack specificity about actual snap/carry splits.NegativeProjectionJul 27, 2026
Adam Levitan is skeptical of David Montgomery's fantasy value despite his large workload. While Montgomery will get a huge workload as a three-down workhorse signed to $10 million guaranteed by the Texans, Levitan notes the Texans' run game and offensive line have been broken for years and Montgomery does not create much on his own. Levitan rates him as "okay around 50 overall" but prefers wide receivers in that range like Luther Burden, McLaurin, Devontae Adams, Jamison Williams, and Mike Evans.NegativeValueJul 27, 2026
David Montgomery is listed as a faller in best ball ADP this week, as indicated by the episode title 'Market Monday: Malik Nabers Pops, David Montgomery Falls.' This represents negative market movement and suggests declining draft value.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
Brandon Thorn expresses optimism on David Montgomery with the Texans despite historical inefficiency in their running game. Thorn kept Montgomery at the bottom of tier four (not tier five) due to newness of the offensive line, which features three new starters including veterans Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith, plus rookie center Keelan Rutledge, who Thorn views as a potential difference-maker with better physical tools than Jake Andrews. The Texans also added swing backup Evan Brown and have Trent Brown as a quality backup tackle, creating an eight-deep offensive line with three-deep bench depth at center, guard, and tackle.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
