Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Cam Skattebo

Monday, November 3, 1:15 PM

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery broke his two-game scoreless streak in Week 9, recording 51 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 13 touches against the Minnesota Vikings. However, the veteran also fumbled in a key spot, leading to points for Minnesota that were critical in Detroit's 27-24 loss to its division rival. Montgomery out-touched fellow Lions back Jahmyr Gibbs against the Vikings, but neither back was particularly efficient with their opportunities. Montgomery's workload has been fairly stable for much of 2025, as he's recorded between 12 and 15 touches in five out of eight games. The 28-year-old's minimal role in the passing game and limited rushing workload while sharing time with Gibbs make Montgomery very reliant on touchdowns for fantasy production. He profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2/high-end flex option heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

The injury to New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) has a four- to six-month recovery timeline, which would set up Skattebo to be ready for offseason OTAs and minicamp, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Skattebo had one of the more gruesome injuries that you will see, and ultimately suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and a deltoid ligament rupture. The 23-year-old had a successful surgery to close the wound and put him on track to make a full recovery. The fourth-rounder out of Arizona State was having a great rookie campaign, totaling 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries to go with 24 receptions for 207 yards and two scores on 32 targets through eight games. Second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr. will be expected to take over as the lead back in New York, with veteran Devin Singletary mixing in.
