BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: David Montgomery left the team's Week 6 win early due to a rib injury. At this time, there's been no injury update. Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs has missed the last two weeks due to a hamstring injury. If Monty and Gibbs can't go next week, Reynolds would be the next man up. Zonovan Knight is currently on IR, so all of a sudden, the Lions' backfield is a mess.

Reynolds played 43 snaps compared to Devin Ozigbo's nine. Reynolds isn't a special talent, but the Lions have a top-five offensive line and are one of the best overall offenses in the NFL. Even if Gibbs were to return, based on his early season utilization, Reynolds would still play a sizable role in Week 7, especially considering Gibbs could very well be on a snap count following a two-week absence.
If fantasy managers are in a pinch at running back, Reynolds could provide a 1-2 week stopgap option. However, it's also possible Monty is able to play through his rib injury, which would leave Reynolds irrelevant.
