RB · HOU · #32
Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent.
Traded from DET to HOU (Mar 2, 2026).
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
3,366
Range 3,099–3,629
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Win-now veteran — still scores, but dynasty runway is short at this age for a RB.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.96
2 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.
Process ×1.01
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Montgomery ran for 60 yards and caught 3 passes in 2026, finishing RB6. After a rough middle year (RB27), RB6 looks like a reset worth tracking. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
