David Montgomery Scores Three Times in First Game with Texans

Sunday, September 13, 8:36 PM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery had a debut to remember with his new team. The 29-year-old totaled 20 carries, 60 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns. He also contributed in the passing game with three catches, 19 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. The Texans came up short against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, but Montgomery certainly isn't to blame. He consistently found ways to get into the end zone when the Texans were in scoring range, allowing the score to stay close throughout the entire second half. Perhaps even more notable is the fact that Woody Marks had just nine carries, which means Montgomery finished with more than two-thirds of the Texans' running back carries in this game. The yardage efficiency numbers weren't great, but none of that matters if he can continue to be a surefire threat to score around the goal line. After proving himself with his new team, Montgomery has jumped to the mid-to-high RB2 tier for Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Quentin Johnston News

Quentin Johnston Does Little in Loss

Sunday, September 13, 5:00 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston was an interesting start candidate given his plus matchup in Week 1. With Keenan Allen no longer in the mix, Johnston was expected to step into a larger role in the offense. Sadly for fantasy managers, Johnston wasn't able to live up to the hype on Sunday. The 25-year-old hauled in two of his six targets for 17 yards in the loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The good news is that Johnston was tied for second on the team with his six targets. The bad news is, he did basically nothing with it. Fellow wideout Ladd McConkey (chest) exited early during Sunday's loss. Johnston could be asked to take on a larger role in the passing game if McConkey isn't ready to go for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
