David Montgomery Could be Losing Grip on Starting Gig

Wednesday, October 14, 5:56 PM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin) is considered week-to-week after suffering an injury during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. Montgomery missed practice to begin the week, and head coach DeMeco Ryans said the injury is a week-to-week concern. The veteran back was struggling before the injury, with 33 rushing yards or fewer in his last four games. Backup Woody Marks took over for Montgomery on Sunday and immediately outperformed him. Marks rushed for 62 yards on 15 attempts in Week 5. The expectation is that he'll remain the lead back until Montgomery is back. Given Montgomery's struggles, Marks has a real chance to earn a bigger chunk of the playing time going forward. Fantasy managers who don't have an available IR spot and need another back could potentially move on from Montgomery if he misses several weeks.

TreVeyon Henderson Suffered High-Ankle Sprain, Set to Miss Multiple Weeks

Tuesday, October 13, 6:29 AM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a high ankle sprain. The running back exited their contest against the Las Vegas Raiders early and is now set to be on the sidelines for at least the next few weeks. Schefter noted that the second-year back is not expected to undergo surgery, and the Patriots hope he can return "sooner rather than later." It is worth noting that Henderson missed the season opener due to an ankle injury as well. This season, Henderson enjoyed one productive effort back in Week 2, where he ran for 76 yards and scored, but averaged a modest 4.0 PPR points in Weeks 3 and 4. While he remains out, Rhamondre Stevenson projects to see a massive workload and could push for mid-end RB2 upside.
