Should I Start David Montgomery?

Wednesday, October 14, 5:56 PM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin) is considered week-to-week after suffering an injury during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. Montgomery missed practice to begin the week, and head coach DeMeco Ryans said the injury is a week-to-week concern. The veteran back was struggling before the injury, with 33 rushing yards or fewer in his last four games. Backup Woody Marks took over for Montgomery on Sunday and immediately outperformed him. Marks rushed for 62 yards on 15 attempts in Week 5. The expectation is that he'll remain the lead back until Montgomery is back. Given Montgomery's struggles, Marks has a real chance to earn a bigger chunk of the playing time going forward. Fantasy managers who don't have an available IR spot and need another back could potentially move on from Montgomery if he misses several weeks.
