RB, age 29 — nothing loud in the recent trend.
Traded from DET to HOU (Mar 2, 2026).
Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
3,237
Range 3,116–3,650
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection Injured — score leans to the low end of the range until he returns.
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
HoldMontgomery ran for 138 yards and caught 7 passes in 2026, ranking RB28 through 5 games. At 29, nothing in the recent seasons jumps off the page. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
