David Montgomery: David Montgomery Could Disappoint in Tough Week 15 Matchup

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery had one of his better games of the season in Week 14, recording 73 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys. However, Montgomery earned just seven touches, marking the third time in his last four games that he failed to reach the 10-touch mark. With Jahmyr Gibbs dominating the backfield workload in Detroit, Montgomery has become increasingly dependent on touchdowns for fantasy production. He may have a tough time finding the end zone in Week 15 when the Lions travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams. Through 14 weeks, the Rams have allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns in the NFL (four). At best, Montgomery profiles as a low-end flex option for deeper-league managers in Week 15.
