David Montgomery injury update: ruled out for Week 6 vs. Jaguars (groin)

David Montgomery has been ruled out for the Texans' Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

By Cole Hartwell

David Montgomery has been ruled out for the Texans’ Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to The Athletic. Montgomery is dealing with a groin injury.

What happened

Montgomery is considered week to week with the groin injury. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Montgomery and Jalen Pitre are week to week.

Montgomery did not practice Wednesday. He exited in the second quarter of Week 5 with five carries for 11 yards.

Context

Montgomery has 45.5 PPR points this season on 52 carries for 138 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. He has added seven receptions for 67 yards. That is 9.1 PPR points per game.

In Week 5, Montgomery had 1.1 PPR points on five carries for 11 yards. He is averaging 2.7 yards per carry this season, down from a 4.1 career mark.

Depth chart

The Texans’ running back depth chart has Woody Marks as RB1. Marks had 62 yards on 15 carries in Week 5. This season, Marks has 43.3 PPR points on 43 carries for 149 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, with 11 receptions for 54 yards. That is 8.7 PPR points per game. Marks is projected for 13.4 PPR points in Week 6.

Jawhar Jordan is RB2 and has a Week 6 projection of 2.4 PPR points. Dare Ogunbowale is RB3 and has a Week 6 projection of 2.4 PPR points.

What’s next

The Texans play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, October 18.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Montgomery out, Woody Marks is the clear lead back for Houston against Jacksonville. Marks has been more efficient than Montgomery this season, averaging 8.7 PPR points per game compared to Montgomery’s 9.1, but he has yet to see a true bell-cow workload. In Week 5, with Montgomery exiting early, Marks had 62 yards on 15 carries. He is a viable RB2/flex play in Week 6, especially in PPR formats, given his projected 13.4 PPR points. Jawhar Jordan and Dare Ogunbowale are the backups, but neither is a recommended fantasy option outside of deep leagues.
