The mauling Knuckles, to his speed merchant teammate Jahmyr "Sonic" Gibbs, Montgomery was once again a strong RB2 in multiple formats. Although Gibbs ascended to the clear RB1 role in the offense, Montgomery still played a major role, piling up over 1,000 total yards and 12 touchdowns. Montgomery remains the short yardage, and goal line specialist for one of the best offenses in the league. Prone to a few missed games due to his playstyle, and not nearly as explosive as his backfield mate, Montgomery's fantasy value is heavily dependent on his scoring opportunities. If the Lions offense takes too big of a step backward, Montgomery could be the one who suffers the most, but he still checks in as a RB2 option.

Trade: David Montgomery on the move to Houston Lions get OL Juice Scruggs, a 4th-rounder and a 7th-rounder By: Mike Krueger | Mon Mar 2, 11:05 am

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.
