Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Kenneth Walker III

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery heads into a favorable Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, fresh off a two-touchdown performance in Week 11. Montgomery rushed 15 times for 75 yards and two scores while adding 20 yards on three receptions in Detroit's dominant 52-6 win over the Jaguars. With 10 touchdowns in 10 games, Montgomery remains the Lions' primary red-zone option, ranking ninth in red-zone touches and fourth in total touchdowns this season. Montgomery has been one of the most consistent backs in fantasy, finishing outside the top 24 just once this year. The Colts rank 28th against the run, allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game and the second-most yards after contact per attempt. Expect Montgomery to capitalize on a positive game script and deliver another reliable performance for fantasy managers in Week 12.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is a high-end RB2 in Week 12. The Seahawks host the Arizona Cardinals who are the No. 25 defense against opposing running backs in fantasy. Walker has been held in check of late in fantasy, but this is a great matchup for him to get things going. His volume continues to be excellent, particularly his passing game usage. It is only a matter of time before Walker begins to hit on big plays once again. As long as the Seahawks keep this game close, Walker has a chance to push for 20 carries. He should see around three targets as well. Additionally, the Seahawks made an effort to be more balanced in Week 11 after having time to evaluate their offense after their Week 10 bye. As a result, the offense was more efficient, and Walker had plenty of touches. Look for the Seahawks to strive for the same balance in Week 12 and for Walker to deliver for fantasy.
