Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Jaylen Waddle

Friday, September 26, 10:41 PM

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.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has posted five catches and a touchdown each of the last two weeks, and he'll look to extend his scoring streak this week in a favorable matchup against the Jets. Waddle was questionable last week with a shoulder injury, but played a season-high 87% of the team's snaps against the Bills. He caught five of his six targets for only 39 yards but did find the end zone for the second straight week. Waddle could get more work this week if Sauce Gardner focuses on locking down Tyreek Hill, leaving more space for Waddle, who is third on the team in targets behind only Hill and De'Von Achane. With Tua Tagovailoa playing very conservatively, Waddle will likely have to pick up most of his yardage after the catch. However, his volume and his red zone work keep him as a solid play despite the offense's issues. This week, he is the No. 35 wide receiver in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a solid WR4 or flex option in most leagues.
