David Montgomery Facing Workload Concerns in Houston?

Friday, September 25, 5:11 PM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery put together a huge fantasy day in Week 1, scoring three touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills. However, the 29-year-old was unable to get anything going in his team's Week 2 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, rushing for 10 yards on six carries and recording two catches for 14 yards. While Montgomery's three touchdowns prop up his overall stat line, he's averaged just 2.7 yards per carry while rushing behind a struggling Texans' offensive line. Perhaps most concerningly for fantasy managers, Houston has split its backfield snaps almost exactly evenly between Montgomery and second-year back Woody Marks. If that continues, Montgomery will likely be highly reliant on touchdowns for fantasy production. Heading into Week 3, Montgomery's status as a no-doubt top-24 running back looks a little less certain.

Trey McBride Still In TE1 Mix Despite Difficult Defense

Saturday, September 19, 2:29 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride kicked off the 2026 season with nine receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets against the Los Angeles Chargers. With wide receivers Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. keeping the Chargers' secondary busy downfield, McBride exploited the defense on shorter routes outside and underneath. McBride's touchdown came on his 17th end zone target with Jacoby Brissett as his starting quarterback, the same number of end zone targets he had in 54 games without Brissett. McBride's status as a weekly scoring threat cemented, he remains a top option at tight end in Week 2 despite a difficult matchup against the Seahawks on deck. In the division rivals' two meetings last year, McBride was targeted 24 times and brought in 16 catches for 179 yards and one touchdown. He is a must-start tight end regardless of his opponent.
