Who Should I Start? Damien Williams or David Montgomery

Friday, November 10, 9:18 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Damien Williams (foot) has been released by the organization with an injury settlement. This doesn't come as a surprise with James Conner (knee) expected to make his return this week. That means, Williams short lived time with the Cardinals is coming to an end. This season, Williams has totaled 43 yards on 11 carries and was held without a score. It's uncertain if the 31-year-old will get a chance elsewhere, but he's not expected to have fantasy value even he signs with another team.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery broke his two-game scoreless streak in Week 9, recording 50 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 touches against the Minnesota Vikings. However, Montgomery also coughed up a crucial fumble that played a key role in Detroit's loss to its division rival. The veteran has a lot of equity built up with the Lions coaching staff, so it's unlikely that the mistake will cost him playing time in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Montgomery has seen fairly consistent usage so far this season, recording between 12 and 15 touches in five out of eight games played. He remains largely dependent on touchdowns for high-end fantasy production. The Commanders have allowed an average of 33.8 points per game over the last four weeks, so Montgomery should have a decent chance to find the end zone. He profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 10 against Washington.
