Montgomery

•

David Montgomery has scored at least one rushing touchdown in 75% of his games over the last two seasons. This has helped him rank among the top-24 fantasy running backs in 82% of his games.

•

Montgomery was more involved as a receiver last season compared to the year before. His 2.24 yards per route run were the most for a running back with at least 50 routes last season.

•

The Lions lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and replaced him with John Morton. The offenses Morton has been involved with, including his one season as an offensive coordinator, have typically used their primary running back at a high rate on the goal line, even if those backs are lighter than a backup. This could lead Jahmyr Gibbs to be the primary goal-line back this season, which would be detrimental to Montgomery’s stand-alone value.
