Week 10 Running Back News
David Montgomery, Houston Texans
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin) could resume practicing this week or next, according to Aaron Wilson, who reported that head coach DeMeco Ryans is pleased with Montgomery's progress. Montgomery has missed three games since hurting his groin against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5. He did not practice at all last week and was ruled out on Friday's final report before Houston beat the Los Angeles Chargers.
Houston visits the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and hosts the Indianapolis Colts four days later, so a return to practice next week would come on a short week. Montgomery is worth keeping on the bench while Houston sorts out the carry split. He had 20 carries to Woody Marks' nine and scored three total touchdowns in his Houston debut against the Buffalo Bills, but averaged eight carries over his next four games. Marks has had at least 15 carries in each of Montgomery's three absences, totaling 52 for 192 yards. He led Houston with 18 carries for 70 yards against the Chargers.
Derrick Henry, Baltimore Ravens
With the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline looming, the Baltimore Ravens have reportedly told teams that they will not be trading three-time All-Pro running back Derrick Henry, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. The Ravens' Thursday night primetime loss to the Jaguars dropped them to a division-worst 4-5, losers of four straight, but with reinforcements arriving in the form of recently acquired veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett, it appears they are unwilling to wave the white flag and play for 2027.
Henry, who now sits seventh on the NFL's all-time rushing list, is soon to turn 33 with a contract that runs through the 2027 season. Through nine games in 2026, he has run for 689 yards and eight touchdowns, though he has not topped 60 rushing yards since Week 5.
Javonte Williams, Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had 20 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown, along with four receptions for 23 yards in the 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. After struggling in Week 8's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Cowboys' run game was the difference last Sunday, with Williams and backup Tyler Goodson combining for 201 scrimmage yards.
The sixth-year back has now totaled 154 carries for 629 yards with nine touchdowns, while adding 24 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. He is now the RB8 in half-PPR formats, averaging 16.4 fantasy points per game this season. While there was a more balanced backfield, fantasy managers can still start Williams as an RB1 moving forward.
Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams rushed for 45 yards on 15 carries, adding three receptions for 16 yards (four targets) in Sunday's 20-13 win against the Washington Commanders. Williams has been great for most of the season, but underwhelmed in a tougher matchup. To make matters worse, backfield mate Blake Corum got into the end zone for a third straight game and was again more efficient with his touches. It's an unsettling trend, but there's little reason to believe the former fifth-round pick is losing his 1A role.
In fact, Williams (48) handily out-snapped Corum (27) on Sunday, as the former has more often than not in 2026. There will likely be an ebb and flow here for the remainder of the campaign, as the duo indiscriminately split every other drive in a productive offense. On the bright side, both should remain productive assets, and they'll get a boost in a plus matchup next Sunday with the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on the schedule
