Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also converted his lone target into a six-yard reception. Furthermore, the veteran running back was involved in a trick play as he threw a three-yard touchdown pass to tight end Sam LaPorta. In the end, Montgomery finished the victory with 71 scrimmage yards and two total touchdowns. He was the team's leading rusher and also posted a season-high in carries. While we can't necessarily expect Montgomery to replicate this type of performance going forward, he has established himself as a high-end RB3/flex option once again in 2025. He should be started in leagues with at least 10 teams when he takes on the Kansas City Chiefs next week.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue rushed four times for seven yards in Sunday's 37-22 victory over the New York Jets. He added 32 yards on a lone kick return. The rookie saw his first action of the season in Week 5 with backfield mate Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) inactive while dealing with injuries. Blue didn't do much with his work, while teammate Javonte Williams ran wild (16/135/1) over a vulnerable Jets' defense. Sanders did not log even a limited practice session last week, but was initially deemed questionable for Sunday's contest, leaving his status for Week 6 unclear. If he can't suit up again, Blue will operate as the change-of-pace option for Williams for the second consecutive week. The former Texas Longhorn is nothing more than a temporary handcuff, but he holds more value -- and is worth holding onto -- in dynasty.
