Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Jerry Jeudy

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he would like to get running back David Montgomery a "bigger piece of the pie" in the rushing attack, according to Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News. With a negative game script in the Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Montgomery only saw four carries for 24 yards and caught two passes for 37 yards. It was by far the 28-year-old's smallest role through six weeks of the 2025 season. The Lions offense is at its best when they are dictating the pace of the game and able to mix in plenty of play-action passing. Monty also played a season-low 31% of the offensive snaps in Week 6 after seeing a season-high 53% of the snaps in Week 5. It sounds like Detroit will make it a point to get Montgomery more involved in Week 7 on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, making him a more attractive RB3/flex play against a Bucs defense that has been in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to RBs this year.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is off to a slow start to his 2025 season. Jeudy has caught just 15 of 35 targets for 197 scoreless yards in five games thus far. While the volume has been there for Jeudy, he has struggled with efficiency while catching passes from both Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel. Jeudy will look to turn things around against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 6. The Steelers have struggled to slow opposing passing attacks this year, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts through four games. While the matchup is enticing, Jeudy's lack of production this year leaves him as a desperation flex option this weekend in fantasy.
