Montgomery should have a solid 2026, but after that it gets patchy. He turns 30 soon enough and has been a supporting back in Detroit of late. Always reliable, but every back has their use by date. Montgomerys will be soon.

I was already slightly below the consensus on Montgomery but still wanted to move him lower. After one good week, he has looked very, very bad in 2026. He is averaging 2.7 yards per carry and was not being used in the passing game before his injury. Montgomery is now outside of my top-30 and not a player I am looking to roster in dynasty under any circumstances.

The new RB1 in Houston is coming off his least productive fantasy season, when he was the RB27 in PPR formats. While his fantasy potential was high, his actual production has been poor.
