Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Jerome Ford

Monday, November 10, 8:29 PM

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery recorded 15 carries for 71 yards and punched in a successful two-point conversion try in his team's 44-22 Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. The 28-year-old has now rushed for 466 yards and five touchdowns on 104 attempts across nine games so far this season. With 14 catches for 106 yards and zero receiving touchdowns, Montgomery has seen minimal usage in the Lions' passing game. He also has a limited ceiling in terms of total touches as long as fellow Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs remains healthy. As a result, Montgomery is almost entirely dependent on touchdown scoring for fantasy production, even when he has an efficient rushing day like he did in Week 10. Montgomery may be tough for fantasy managers to trust in a tough Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball just one time for one yard while failing to corral his lone target in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 10. Ford has been lightly used in the Cleveland offense of late, having seen just four carries over his past three games. The veteran tailback has taken a backseat to rookie Quinshon Judkins, who has been operating as the team's bell-cow back this season. Ford isn't even a particularly strong handcuff option as he would have to split work with Dylan Sampson if Judkins were forced to miss time at any point. Ford can be left on waivers ahead of a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
