David Montgomery set for key fantasy matchup against Colts

Summary

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery is considered a must-start in fantasy lineups for Week 3 as the Texans face the Indianapolis Colts. Despite a challenging performance with just 10 rushing yards last week, Montgomery’s potential is boosted by the Colts' weak defense, which has allowed the second-most rushing yards and touchdowns this season. Additionally, the absence of wide receiver Nico Collins may increase the Texans' reliance on their ground game. Montgomery’s previous performances suggest he can rebound effectively against this matchup, making him a valuable option for fantasy owners this week.
