David Montgomery Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

David Montgomery missed Houston's second consecutive game with a groin injury when the Texans faced the Giants. The injury has interrupted a difficult beginning to his time in Houston, where he had already struggled to produce consistent rushing gains. Woody Marks and the other available backs have continued handling carries during the absence, so returning to practice will not automatically settle how the team divides its backfield.

Montgomery has 138 rushing yards and two scores on 52 carries, with seven catches for 67 yards and a receiving touchdown in five appearances. The two rushing touchdowns came early, while the subsequent yardage has been much less convincing. PFM's RB22 rest-of-season position is based on a possible return to useful short-yardage work, not a known date for his next game. With no active Week 8 rank shown in the roster, health and the Texans' depth-chart decisions should take precedence over matchup speculation.
