Montgomery is with the Texans now, and he walks into a similar mix: they threw on 56 percent of their plays last season, 16th of 32, against 58 percent and 10th for the Lions. He has not played a game for them, so the club figures below are the Texans' and his own are what he did with the Lions. Montgomery was 2nd on the Lions in rushing attempts in 2025, with 158 of the 442 they called in the 17 regular season games he played. He is listed at 5-11 and 230 pounds, taller than 53 percent of the 197 running backs on a 2026 roster and heavier than 84 percent of them. The 17 defenses on the Texans' 2026 schedule gave up 116.7 rushing yards a game last season; the 17 the Lions met gave up 122.9.

Record against the posted line, by market

Every market our archive priced him in at least eight times · the line is each book's opening number, median across the books quoting it · a market we priced fewer times is left off rather than shown with a sample too small to mean anything

Over rate excludes pushes and prints the decided count it is taken over. Whole-number markets (receptions, interceptions) push often, so overs divided by games would read several points off. The touchdown market posts no number at all, only a price, so it is graded as scored or not against the price implied by the books before their margin.
