David Montgomery Week 2 Outlook - Bengals at Texans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

David Montgomery was a volume monster in Week 1 as the RB5 in fantasy. He finished with 23 touches, 79 total yards, and three scores. He played 57.5% of the snaps, handled all five of the team's red zone carries, had a 42.9% route share, and a 7.9% target share (three targets). Montgomery wasn't immensely efficient with his work, but some of this is on his offensive line. Among 33 qualifying backs in Week 1, Montgomery was 18th in success rate and missed tackle rate, but he had the tenth-fewest yards before contact per attempt. Montgomery could find more running room in Week 2 against a Cincy run defense that allowed the fifth-highest rushing success rate and yards after contact per attempt in Week 1 while also having the 11th-lowest stuff rate.
