Summary
David Montgomery carries a 77.0 dynasty score, ranking 48 at RB.
Montgomery’s 716 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns in 17 games indicate a still-productive back, despite a declining trend in his overall dynasty score and production. He has one year remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Montgomery’s 716 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns in 17 games indicate a still-productive back, but his 46th percentile efficiency grade suggests room for improvement. His Verdict durability grade at the 88th percentile is a positive sign. With one year remaining on his contract, Montgomery’s role security is somewhat limited.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. David Montgomery’s age (28) and Verdict durability grade at the 88th percentile suggest a relatively low injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
Montgomery’s snap share percentage trended down in 2025, averaging 38.1%. His role in the Texans’ backfield is not secure, with potential competition from other backs.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Nick Caley coordinates a run-heavy shanahan_tree offense with a 44.9% run rate. This scheme helps Montgomery’s production, as he is well-suited for a run-heavy approach.
Trend Assessment
Declining
His trend direction is declining due to a decrease in overall production, as indicated by his 28th percentile consistency grade.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: RB3-RB5, requiring continued production and improved efficiency.
Floor: RB6-RB8, if volume decreases or Montgomery loses the starting job. His trade value of 7,007 reflects the market’s view of his role and production.
