David Montgomery News
Saturday, October 3, 5:29 AM
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery started his season with a massive three-touchdown performance against the Bills, but he has struggled in his last two games and could be on the verge of losing some work. The veteran had just six carries for 10 rushing yards against the Bengals in Week 2 and 11 carries for 33 yards against the Colts in Week 3. He wasn't able to get back to the end zone in either game, although he did have multiple catches in each contest as well. Montgomery could be losing work to Woody Marks this week, according to reports from ESPN's Dan Graziano. The veteran still has touchdown-dependent potential, though, and he's in a favorable matchup against the Cowboys, who have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to RBs this season. Overall, Montgomery lines up as a low-end, high-risk RB2 this week in standard-sized leagues. He's the No. 20 RB in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he can be started with caution if you don't have better options.

Kaleb Johnson News
Saturday, October 3, 5:49 AM
Across three games so far in 2026, Green Bay Packers running back Kaleb Johnson has recorded just 12 carries for 38 yards. However, the 23-year-old could have a chance to emerge as a more consistent part of his team's offense. The Packers' rushing offense has been horrendous through three weeks, ranking dead last in the NFL in total rushing yards (146), yards per carry (3.0), and rushing touchdowns (zero). Given Green Bay's struggles so far, Johnson could take over lead back duties from fellow Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unfortunately for both Packers backs, Tampa Bay's rush defense has been excellent so far this year. The Bucs currently rank second in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (3.1) and have allowed just one rushing touchdown this year. Given the tough matchup and the lack of a proven track record, Johnson remains tough for fantasy managers to trust in Week 4.
