David Montgomery Extremely Inefficient for the Third Week in a Row

Sunday, October 4, 6:44 PM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery rushed for just 24 yards on 10 carries during Sunday's Week 4 loss against the Dallas Cowboys. He was also credited with 19 receiving yards (but not a reception) on a hook-and-ladder play. The veteran running back's Week 1 performance, in which he scored three touchdowns, seems to be an anomaly. He hasn't scored a touchdown since then, nor has he posted double-digit fantasy points. The worst part of Montgomery's fantasy profile is his extreme inefficiency, as he has averaged just 2.8 yards per carry this season. Week 4 was particularly bad for Montgomery, who averaged just 2.4 yards per carry against Dallas and has averaged 3.0 or fewer yards per carry in every game this year. As long as the Texans' offense continues to underperform and Woody Marks vultures carries, Montgomery belongs outside the top-36 running back tier for fantasy football.

Eagles Sign Elijah Moore to a One-Year Deal

Tuesday, March 24, 8:48 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed wide receiver Elijah Moore to a one-year deal, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. His signing offers additional receiver depth for the Eagles, especially as rumors continue to swirl about a potential A.J. Brown trade. Ironically, this move is a reunion of sorts for Moore and Brown, as the two were teammates at Ole Miss in 2018. Moore, a former second-round pick, is already on his fourth team in the last five years. He fetched 100 targets in back-to-back seasons in 2023 and 2024, but he was buried on the depth chart in Buffalo last season and ultimately caught just nine passes across nine games. He'll look to get back on track in Philadelphia, where there's plenty of wide receiver competition. In addition to rostering Brown and fellow starter DeVonta Smith, the Eagles recently signed veteran Marquise Brown.
