Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Garrett Wilson

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 Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday that he expects wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) to play again this year, but Glenn also added that it's up to the doctors, according to Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News. Wilson missed several games with a knee injury before returning in the Week 10 win over the Cleveland Browns, only to aggravate his knee. The Jets placed the 25-year-old on Injured Reserve this week, so he'll be forced to miss at least the next three games following the team's Thursday night loss to the New England Patriots. He won't be eligible to play before Sunday, Dec. 14, against the Jaguars. With Wilson out for the foreseeable future, John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell figure to be featured as the team's top pass-catchers in what has been the worst passing offense in football this year. Fantasy managers stashing Wilson need to know that there's a chance he won't contribute again in 2025.
