Who Should I Start? Jordan Howard or David Montgomery

Friday, November 13, 9:02 AM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin), who has missed the past three games with a groin injury, was back at practice on Friday after logging a limited participation on Thursday. Teammate Woody Marks (knee), averaging more than 78 total yards per game in his stead as the lead back, was also spotted back at practice after injuring his knee on Wednesday and missing Thursday's session. With a favorable Week 10 matchup against a Brown defense that has allowed the sixth most points above average to the running back position, either Montgomery or Marks would make for a strong start if given the backfield to themselves, but any potential split considerably lowers the ceiling of both. Through the first four weeks of the season, with both players at close to full health, Montgomery was the fantasy RB21, largely on the strength of a three-touchdown performance to open the year, while Marks trailed him as the RB33.
