David Montgomery Faces Tough Week 10 Test, Remains TD-Dependent RB2
3 days agoDetroit Lions running back David Montgomery faces a challenging matchup in Week 10 against a stingy Houston Texans run defense. Montgomery, a Top-15 back in fantasy points per game, has been reliable—finding the endzone in six of eight games, ranking sixth in both red zone touches and total touchdowns. He's averaging 15.9 touches and 81.1 total yards per game, and he ranks 13th among qualifying backs in missed tackles forced per attempt. Houston's defense has been tough on running backs, allowing just under 115 rushing yards per game. They also rank fifth in lowest rushing success rate and third in fewest missed tackles. If Detroit can establish their ground game early, they'll likely lean heavily on their backfield as they have much of this season. He remains a touchdown-dependent RB2 in this matchup.
