Trade: David Montgomery on the move to Houston
Lions get OL Juice Scruggs, a 4th-rounder and a 7th-rounder

The Texans are sending OL Juice Scruggs, a 4th-rounder and a 7th-rounder to Detroit for David Montgomery. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: With the waters still murky around Joe Mixon and his foot injury, the Texans have landed a power back to go with Woody Marks. Montgomery has scored 33 TDs in his last three years with Detroit filling the 1B role next to Jahmyr Gibbs. Montgomery will likely get the bulk of early-down work in Houston with Marks working as a change of pace and on third downs. This can be viewed as a slight upgrade for Montgomery's redraft fantasy value in 2026 assuming he stays healthy.
