David Montgomery Faces Divisional Test As An RB1 In Week 7
1 month agoDetroit Lions running back David Montgomery faces a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7, a defense that allows the second-fewest rushing yards per game (67.2) and the second-lowest yards per carry (3.6). Despite the difficult opponent, Montgomery has been a steady producer, averaging 17 touches and 89 total yards per game while ranking fourth in total touchdowns with six scores this season. Over his last three games, he's posted 225 rushing yards, four touchdowns, and 52.2 fantasy points (17.4 per game). Montgomery's consistency and role in the Lions' offense make him a solid RB1, even with the tough matchup. However, it's important to temper expectations against Minnesota's run defense, which also allows the lowest explosive run rate in the league. Similar to Gibbs, a breakout game is arguably unlikely.
