Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) won't play vs. the Chargers this weekend, HC Demeco Ryans said Wednesday. Ryans added that Montgomery "has made some progress," but getting ruled out this early in the week means he's not close to a return. Consider him unlikely to be ready for Week 10. RB Woody Marks has controlled backfield work with Montgomery out the last two games, totaling 34 carries and 4 targets. But he's averaged just 3.6 yards per carry and failed to find the end zone, finishing RB22 and RB34 in PPR points. Consider Marks a volume-based RB2 play against the Chargers' 19th-ranked RB defense.
