Fantasy outlook
Montgomery was traded to Houston after spending his first seven NFL seasons with Chicago and Detroit. The veteran back is coming off a down year in 2025, when he posted career lows in touches (182), yardage (908, his first season under 1,000) and fantasy points per game (9.8). Montgomery was still effective as a rusher (4.53 yards per carry, 2.28 yards after contact) but lost work to Jahmyr Gibbs and wasn't involved much as receiver. The latter doesn't figure to change much in Houston, and while Montgomery is a decent bet to pace the team in carries, second-year back Woody Marks figures to sustain a substantial offensive role. Montgomery enters his age-29 season as a touchdown-dependent flex with limited upside.
