Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Breece Hall

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery was one of the stars of his team's Week 3 win over the Baltimore Ravens, rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries. The 28-year-old has now recorded 233 yards and three touchdowns on 34 carries through his first three games of 2025. Montgomery gets a brutal matchup in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns, who have allowed the fewest rushing yards (172) in the NFL so far and just one rushing touchdown. Even with the big game in Week 3, Montgomery is averaging just 13.3 touches per contest and remains highly dependent on touchdowns for fantasy production. The Lions have a potent offense, but this may be a difficult week for them against the Browns. In Week 4, Montgomery profiles as a low-end fantasy RB3/flex option.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall enters Monday's outing with the Miami Dolphins as an interesting breakout candidate in a vulnerable matchup. Hall had a strong performance in Week 1, totaling 145 scoreless yards across 23 total opportunities (2-of-4 receiving). However, his efficiency on the ground has waned since then (3.1 YPC). That may not be wholly his fault, though, as the 24-year-old is facing eight-plus defenders in the box at one of the higher rates in the league (26.32%). A Week 4 meeting with a sieve-like Dolphins defense could be just the cure, considering Miami's defensive unit has yielded a whopping 145 yards per game on the ground through three weeks (fifth-most). Even if Hall again can't get it going in that aspect, his work as a receiver has been steady, and the Fins have allowed the third-most yards through the air to RBs (164). He's a back-end RB2 with upside, and RotoBaller's PPR RB20 for Monday's contest.
