Montgomery

Montgomery doesn't particularly stand out among other running backs. He averages only 6.6 yards per carry on perfectly blocked plays because he doesn’t break many long gains. His real-life value lies in his above-average conversion rate, which isn’t as beneficial for fantasy outside his touchdown total. Last season, he scored 13 rushing touchdowns.

Montgomery was an every-down back in Chicago, but with Detroit, he became more of an early-down back. Both his cumulative and rate stats as a receiver declined. He remained a fantasy starter due to his rushing touchdowns, but he didn’t have as many great games without the receptions.

Montgomery is a likely fantasy starter, given the Lions' high-scoring offense. He is expected to see double-digit carries each game and score a touchdown in most of them. He can potentially be a top-10 fantasy running back if Gibbs suffers an injury, but he could also lose his starting fantasy role if Gibbs takes too much of his workload.
