David Montgomery News
Wednesday, August 19, 5:12 AM
Throughout much of training camp, Houston Texans running back David Montgomery has had his workload managed, with the coaching staff aiming to keep him fresh for the regular season. During Tuesday's joint practice with the Raiders, however, he provided a reminder of what he can do when unleashed, with Texans analyst John Harris calling him the story of the day. Montgomery impressed with his combination of physicality and burst, taking a number of carries through the teeth of the Raiders' defense. In what was one of Montgomery's most active days of camp, it was still second-year running back Woody Marks who saw the majority of passing work, perhaps offering an indication of how offensive coordinator Nick Caley intends to deploy his backs in the regular season. Montgomery has topped 35 receptions only once in the past four seasons, averaging 27.5 catches per year over that span, but with an expectation to see most of the Texans' high-value red zone carries, he still offers spike week potential from the middle rounds of 2026 drafts, making RotoBaller's RB21 an attractive option as a second running back or flex play.

TreVeyon Henderson News
Thursday, August 27, 2:27 PM
New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) should be "good to go" for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, with a league source telling The Boston Globe's Christopher Price that he avoided a serious right-ankle injury when he slipped on the turf at practice earlier this week. Unsurprisingly, Henderson, who missed practice this week after tweaking his ankle, did not travel with the team for their preseason finale against the Cleveland Browns as a precaution. The 23-year-old has improved since injuring his ankle earlier this week, but we will continue to keep tabs on his status as the Week 1 season opener quickly approaches in early September. The former second-rounder from Ohio State will split the backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson in his sophomore campaign after producing an impressive 911 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns on 180 carries in 17 regular-season games in 2025. He added 35 catches for 221 yards and another score as a receiver. Henderson's lack of progress in pass-blocking is a concern for his overall fantasy upside, though, which could cap his ceiling in Year 2 as an RB3/flex play if Stevenson stays healthy throughout the year.
