David Montgomery, the Texans’ main man in the backfield, got knocked out of their Week 5 clash against the Tennessee Titans today with a groin injury, and he’s not coming back.
The Immediate Impact
This is a tough blow, man. Montgomery only managed five rushes for 11 yards and didn’t even see a target in the passing game before he had to leave. It’s never good when your starting running back is sidelined, especially not mid-game like this. The Texans now have to pivot their ground game on the fly.
Who Steps Up?
So, who’s picking up the slack? Woody Marks is gonna be leaned on heavily as the primary ball carrier for the rest of this game against Tennessee. If you’ve got Marks on your fantasy squad, he’s instantly looking at some RB3 or flex value as the top dog in that Houston backfield. Dare Ogunbowale might snag a few snaps and touches too, but honestly, his fantasy value is pretty much negligible.
The Texans are gonna have to ride with Marks now. It’s a huge shift for their offense on the fly, and all eyes will be on how he handles the workload. Let’s see if he can make the most of this unexpected opportunity.
