David Montgomery Practicing Again Friday

Friday, November 13, 9:02 AM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin), who has missed the past three games with a groin injury, was back at practice on Friday after logging a limited participation on Thursday. Teammate Woody Marks (knee), averaging more than 78 total yards per game in his stead as the lead back, was also spotted back at practice after injuring his knee on Wednesday and missing Thursday's session. With a favorable Week 10 matchup against a Brown defense that has allowed the sixth most points above average to the running back position, either Montgomery or Marks would make for a strong start if given the backfield to themselves, but any potential split considerably lowers the ceiling of both. Through the first four weeks of the season, with both players at close to full health, Montgomery was the fantasy RB21, largely on the strength of a three-touchdown performance to open the year, while Marks trailed him as the RB33.

Kyle Monangai News

Kyle Monangai Inactive for Sunday Night Football

Sunday, November 8, 2:12 PM

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (thumb, toe) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Monangai entered this weekend listed as questionable, but his status was trending in the wrong direction. By sitting out Sunday's game, Monangai will now get even more time ot recover, as the Bears are on their bye in Week 10. His next chance to play will come in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints. Monangai projects as the Bears' No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift, but he should still maintain standalone value in most fantasy leagues. After all, he was averaging more than 16 touches per game when healthy, although that number is slightly skewed by a 30-carry performance in Week 4.
