David Montgomery's Presence Could Hurt Tarik Cohen
6 years agoChicago Bears rookie running back David Montgomery's balance, lateral agility and vision give the team a potential three-down back. Montgomery's greatest strength is running the ball, but the fact that he can also catch the football will help create mismatches against opponents. Montgomery's presence will allow the Bears to use Tarik Cohen more as a wideout, which is his strength and the coaching staff's preference. Cohen had 99 rushing attempts in 2018, but expect that number to come down with Montgomery and Mike Davis handling most of the rushing chances. Montgomery could be the most productive rookie running back in 2019 by far, while Cohen might be more of a boom/bust RB3 in PPR leagues.
