2026 Fantasy Football Outlooks

David Montgomery, Houston Texans

After three successful seasons with the Detroit Lions, the Houston Texans acquired running back David Montgomery for a fourth and sixth-round pick, and he's now in a position to see his largest workload in years. The Nick Chubb experiment failed in Houston, and out of necessity, 2025 fourth-round pick Woody Marks led the team in carries. Marks was not overly efficient with the opportunities given, averaging only 3.6 yards per carry, and he should fall back into a more natural pass-catching role in 2026.

Though even as a change-of-pace back, he does not possess the sort of game-breaking ability to regularly take snaps away from Montgomery. Montgomery spent his time in Detroit sharing a backfield with former first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs, who eventually took the leap to superstar status in year three, limiting Montgomery to the fewest carries of his career, despite playing all 17 games in 2025. While his raw numbers were down as a result, his efficiency was not.

Montgomery's 3.17 yards after contact per carry in 2025 marked a career high, and even while his three-time Pro Bowl running mate was piling up accolades, Montgomery managed to average 230 touches, 1,137 yards, and nearly a dozen touchdowns across his three seasons as a Lion. As RotoBaller's RB22, he is one of the more mispriced running backs in this year's dead zone, and with a clear path to a bellcow role on a team built to play with a lead, a healthy Montgomery could handsomely reward drafters willing to wait on the position

Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is in a fantastic position to succeed in 2026. The Packers' wide receiver room is the least crowded it has been since Watson's rookie season. After jettisoning fellow wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, this team has stated its faith in Watson, Matthew Golden, and Jayden Reed. Watson is entering the 2026 season with some momentum. Despite only playing in 10 games in 2025, Watson fell just nine yards short of his career high in receiving yards.

He also caught an impressive six touchdowns in those 10 games. His performance made him an effective contributor in fantasy. Additionally, Watson is on a prove-it deal in 2026. He signed a one-year $11 million contract extension last season, and we have seen many massive seasons over the years from players looking to secure a new contract.

At the end of the day, Watson is going to be the No. 1 target in a good offense. He is perfectly positioned to record his first 1,000-yard season. As such, Watson is worth a shot around the eighth round in fantasy drafts.

Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars

After being drafted in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten finished his rookie season with 386 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns on 93 touches across 15 games. The 23-year-old flashed high-end upside throughout the year, but he was ultimately blocked from fantasy-relevant production by the presence of former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. Entering 2026, Etienne Jr. is no longer in Jacksonville after signing a big-money free agent contract with the New Orleans Saints.

As a result, Tuten could be poised to emerge as the new lead back for the Jaguars. Jacksonville did make a move in free agency to fortify its backfield after losing Etienne Jr. by signing former Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. Rodriguez Jr. rushed for 500 yards and six touchdowns on 112 carries in 2025 and could steal touches away from Tuten.

Still, Tuten profiles as the higher-upside back and enters the year with the advantage of experience in Jaguars play-caller Liam Coen's system. If Tuten can seize the majority of the backfield work in Jacksonville, he could be on the verge of a breakout season. RotoBaller ranks Tuten as its RB23 entering 2026.

Rico Dowdle, Pittsburgh Steelers

Rico Dowdle is going for the trifecta, usurping a starting running back for the third time in as many years. The formerly undrafted runner first got his chance in Dallas in 2024, replacing the aging and ineffective Ezekiel Elliott. That led to a one-year contract with Carolina, where he outproduced Chuba Hubbard (for part of the season anyway) and became a fantasy football sensation with consecutive games of over 230 scrimmage yards.

After back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, Dowdle is now a Pittsburgh Steeler and reunited with head coach Mike McCarthy for another complementary role. Albeit a different type of running back, Dowdle replaces the outgoing Kenneth Gainwell to play the 1B role to Jaylen Warren, with the latter getting the edge in the receiving department. Given his past success, Dowdle ranks as one of the best insurance running backs in fantasy football in 2026 and could hold weekly standalone flex value.
