Montgomery was imported to improve offensive efficiency and run production for the Texans. The source notes that Monty rarely gets stuffed for negative gains, solving a problem seen far too often from Houston's ground game a year ago. He should keep the offense in better down-and-distances, helping the overall offensive efficiency.NegativeValueAug 1, 2026
The source rates Montgomery as overvalued at Rounds 6-7 (RB24 ADP). While Montgomery's move from Detroit to Houston and escape from Jahmyr Gibbs' shadow has generated RB1 hype, the source cautions the excitement has gone too far for the 29-year-old. Houston's recent track record with veteran RB pickups is poor: Joe Mixon finished RB17 in 2024, but Nick Chubb, David Johnson, and Mark Ingram have been wasteland. Montgomery is at the historical running back cliff around 28-29 years old and 1,500 career carries. It's unlikely he hits double-digit touchdowns as he did with the high-scoring Lions, and if efficiency drops, returning value on a sixth-round ADP will be very tough.NegativeValueJul 30, 2026
The source cautions against Montgomery's RB1 hype at Rounds 6-7 ADP (RB24), despite his move from Detroit to Houston. Montgomery is 29 years old with approximately 1,500 career carries, placing him at the historical running back cliff threshold (28-29 years old). Houston's recent track record with veteran RB pickups is poor—Joe Mixon finished RB17 in 2024, but Nick Chubb, David Johnson, and Mark Ingram have underperformed. The source expects Montgomery to struggle to hit double-digit touchdowns as he did with the high-scoring Lions and predicts efficiency decline will make his sixth-round ADP difficult to return value on.PositiveRoleJun 26, 2026
The Texans added running back David Montgomery to establish a more effective ground game and provide another capable, healthy back after Joe Mixon's injury-related loss hampered Houston significantly throughout 2025.
