RB18 slipped to RB27 last year; that's the warning.

Traded from DET to HOU (Mar 2, 2026).

Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

3,330

Range 3,0663,589

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.

Player quality

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.

Quick answer

Watch

Montgomery ran for 716 yards and caught 24 passes in 2025, finishing RB27. Production trend is soft: RB18 → RB27 over the last two seasons. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
