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.

Tank Bigsby News
Sunday, May 3, 11:50 AM
After opening 2025 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, running back Tank Bigsby was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles after Week 1. The 24-year-old saw limited playing time in Philadelphia while playing a backup role to star Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. Across 16 games with Philly, Bigsby recorded 58 carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns. As long as Barkley stays healthy, Bigsby's path to fantasy-relevant production is blocked. However, Barkley is entering his age-29 season and has recorded consecutive 350-plus touch campaigns, including playoff action. Bigsby has been a highly efficient rusher when given the opportunity to this point in his NFL career, averaging 4.9 yards per carry over the past two seasons. Should Barkley go down at any point in 2026, Bigsby could immediately vault into the top-24 conversation at the running back position. In dynasty formats, Bigsby remains a high-end handcuff option heading into 2026.
