Who Should I Start? Marlon Mack or David Montgomery

Saturday, October 3, 5:29 AM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery started his season with a massive three-touchdown performance against the Bills, but he has struggled in his last two games and could be on the verge of losing some work. The veteran had just six carries for 10 rushing yards against the Bengals in Week 2 and 11 carries for 33 yards against the Colts in Week 3. He wasn't able to get back to the end zone in either game, although he did have multiple catches in each contest as well. Montgomery could be losing work to Woody Marks this week, according to reports from ESPN's Dan Graziano. The veteran still has touchdown-dependent potential, though, and he's in a favorable matchup against the Cowboys, who have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to RBs this season. Overall, Montgomery lines up as a low-end, high-risk RB2 this week in standard-sized leagues. He's the No. 20 RB in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he can be started with caution if you don't have better options.
