David Montgomery News
Friday, September 11, 5:06 PM
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery is ready for his debut with his new team against the Bills in Week 1, and it will be exciting to see how the team rotates him and Woody Marks in the backfield. Montgomery is expected to handle most of the early-down work, and the always valuable touches near the end zone. The Texans struggled in the red zone last year, so they added Montgomery from the Lions this offseason. The veteran is expected to serve as the closer, while Marks is a home-run threat and third-down specialist. The uncertainty of the timeshare keeps Montgomery from ranking even higher, but for Week 1, he's the No. 21 RB in RotoBaller's PPR rankings. While he can be a low-end RB2 in many leagues, he's a very strong FLEX play, since the Texans will look to rely on the running game and their defense in Week 1.

Jeremiyah Love News
Saturday, September 12, 5:47 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. According to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN, the rookie is expected to play, though head coach Mike LaFleur described the situation as a game-time decision. Even if Love is active on Sunday, Tyler Allgeier is expected to be the busier of the two backs, as it would be unwise for Arizona to put the rookie's health in further jeopardy. Arizona is expected to be playing from behind, and the Chargers represent a difficult matchup for the Cardinals backfield. In 2025, Los Angeles allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs and had the fourth-lowest EPA per rush attempt. While benching a high-round draft pick is certainly frustrating for fantasy football managers, it may be prudent given the circumstances. As one of the later games on the docket in Week 1, those still on the fence should ready their backup plans now in case Love is scratched.
