News: 5 days agoMontgomery rushed 15 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns and brought in all three targets for 20 yards in the Lions' 52-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Spin: Montgomery once again found himself in the end zone in the Lions' lopsided win, making multiple trips via his two- and six-yard runs in the first half. The veteran back was also more involved than usual as a receiver, with his three receptions tying for his second-highest figure of the season in that category. Montgomery's ultra-reliable red-zone role will keep him as a highly viable fantasy asset in all formats heading into a Week 12 road matchup against the Colts.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Montgomery signed with the Lions in 2023 and quickly put together the most efficient season of his young career. In a committee with Jahmyr Gibbs, Monty was a solid RB2 for fantasy managers, providing a steady dose of rushing yards and touchdowns. Montgomery was ninth in rushing yards, third in rushing touchdowns and handled the third-most carries inside the 5 last season. He lacks passing-game upside (16 catches in 14 games last season), but behind a premier offensive line in Detroit, Montgomery will again be a serviceable RB2 in 2024.
