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.

Ray Davis News
Wednesday, May 6, 5:14 AM
Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis was viewed as one of the more valuable handcuffs in the league coming into his second season, but with James Cook handling the largest workload of his career en route to the 2025 rushing title, Davis offered almost nothing to fantasy managers. And when Cook did leave the field, it was more regularly the superior pass-catching Ty Johnson who took his place, limiting Davis to only 275 yards on 58 carries despite suiting up for all 17 games. The Bills brought in no additional running backs through either free agency or the NFL Draft, which could be viewed as a small victory for Davis, but is more likely an indicator that the situation could play out similarly in 2026. With Davis coming into the league as an older prospect, the 2024 fourth-round pick will already turn 27 during his third season, and if he has not already hit waiver wires in dynasty leagues, he is a suitable drop candidate to make room for the incoming crop of rookies.
