David Montgomery is expected to perform well against the Colts, who have the second-worst defense against running backs, allowing 41 fantasy points last week and over 5 yards per rush in the first two weeks.
The Colts have one of the NFL's worst red-zone defenses, allowing nearly 70% scoring efficiency, which benefits Montgomery, who is among the top three running backs in red-zone attempts, totaling six carries for 19 yards and two touchdowns.
The Colts' defense, particularly its secondary, has allowed two consecutive 300-yard games by opposing quarterbacks, while Stroud has thrown for 627 yards in his first two games, and Indy is permitting nearly 14 yards per pass completion.
Montgomery has caught all five of his targets for 33 yards in two games this season and leads Houston's backfield in snaps, facing a Colts defense that has allowed the second-most receiving yards to running backs.
David Montgomery has exceeded his reception total in both games, despite a limited workload in Week 2 against the Bengals, and is expected to benefit from an indoor game atmosphere according to projections.
