Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Jerome Ford

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.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford has struggled to carve out a role on his team's offense of late as he's handled just two carries and caught three passes over his past three games. Ford will look for a larger workload at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. The Ravens have struggled against opposing running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position through nine games. That being said, Ford is unlikely to see enough work to take advantage of the favorable matchup as rookie Quinshon Judkins has dominated the backfield work for the team this season. Ford is not a fantasy option heading into Week 11.
