David Montgomery News
Sunday, April 26, 5:26 AM
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery was acquired this offseason when the team sent a package including their 2026 fourth-round pick to the Detroit Lions. Montgomery joined a backfield that was owned, largely out of necessity, by 2025 fourth-round pick Woody Marks, and with the Texans entering the NFL Draft with few glaring needs, there was a thought that they could add an additional body to the room. That did not come to pass, and Montgomery escaped the weekend as the clear top back on the depth chart. While splitting time with former first-round pick and three-time Pro Bowler Jahmyr Gibbs, Montgomery averaged more than 70 yards and .73 touchdowns per game in their time together. Marks is a reliable pass catcher who will prevent him from taking on a full bellcow role, but Montgomery is in a position to handle his largest workload since his time in Chicago, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB31, he is a smart buy for contending managers.

Josh Jacobs News
Wednesday, May 27, 12:32 PM
A statement released by the lawyers of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs confirms that Jacobs has been released from custody and that "no criminal charges have been filed against him." Jacobs was arrested and booked into the Brown County Jail on Tuesday night on counts of battery, criminal damage of property, disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. While Jacobs has been released from jail, this appears to be an ongoing situation that fantasy managers will need to monitor closely in the coming weeks and months. The 28-year-old has been the Packers' workhorse back over the last two seasons, collecting nearly 2,900 yards from scrimmage and 30 touchdowns across 32 games. If Jacobs were to face some sort of discipline from the NFL and miss time, Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd profile as the current favorites to lead the Green Bay backfield.
