Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Devin Singletary

Friday, November 14, 10:51 PM

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery rushed for an efficient 71 yards on 15 carries in a Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders, but he failed to score a touchdown for the third time in his last four games. The result was a modest fantasy performance for Montgomery, which will likely be the case every week that he fails to find the end zone. Montgomery has just 14 receptions across nine games this season, as fellow Lions back Jahmyr Gibbs is the clear receiving threat in Detroit's backfield. In Week 11, Montgomery and the Lions will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. While the Eagles' defense is a tough unit to score on overall, it is tied for the sixth-most rushing touchdowns allowed (11) in the NFL so far this season. If the Detroit offense can work its way into goal-to-go situations, Montgomery could have a decent chance to hit pay dirt. He profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 11 against Philadelphia.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary scored his first two rushing touchdowns of the season in his team's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers, finishing the game with 16 carries for 44 yards and two scores. With Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) lost for the season with an ankle injury, Singletary has now recorded double-digit touches in three straight games. The 28-year-old appears to be in a timeshare with Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the New York backfield, as Tracy Jr. recorded 23 touches against Green Bay. Tracy Jr.'s presence limits Singletary's upside, particularly as a pass-catcher. However, the veteran Singletary could be the preferred option at the goal line. Heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Singletary could be a flex option for fantasy managers to consider off the waiver wire.
