David Montgomery News
Saturday, March 14, 9:33 AM
Running back David Montgomery, recently acquired via trade by the Houston Texans, has had his contract upgraded by the team, with the two-year deal now worth up to $16.5 million. The revised contract, which features a $6.5 million signing bonus and heavy per-game active roster bonuses, signals that the Texans view him as their clear starter following a season in which rookie Woody Marks led the team in carries, but no back topped 200 attempts or more than 13 carries per game. Playing in a supporting role to Pro-Bowler Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit, Montgomery has also failed to reach the 200-carry mark in either of the past two seasons, giving him relatively fresh legs as he prepares for his age-29 campaign.

Javonte Williams News
Thursday, March 19, 8:20 PM
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams remains the workhorse option heading into the 2026 season. Williams enjoyed a career resurgence during his first season in Dallas, totaling 1,201 rushing yards, 137 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns. He was the overall RB12 in PPR leagues, setting the best mark of his career to this point. For his efforts, Williams was rewarded with a three-year, $24 million contract that assures he's the Cowboys' primary ball-carrier for years to come. We do expect Jaydon Blue to get more involved going forward, but he's more of a change-of-pace and handcuff. Blue isn't going to threaten Williams' role in 2026. As a result, Williams remains a fringe top-12 fantasy running back with tremendous touchdown upside in a high-scoring Cowboys offense. It doesn't make sense to buy Williams at his elevated price in dynasty leagues, but it's also too early to sell high on him. He's firmly in the "hold" range this offseason.
