Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (knee) is practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Dan Campbell. The 27-year-old is dealing with a knee contusion and briefly exited last week's win against the Minnesota Vikings before returning. His participation in practice is promising for his Week 8 availability against the Tennessee Titans, but fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the week. Montgomery had his worst fantasy outing of the season in Week 7, posting just 6.5 half-PPR points. He posted at least 14.5 half-PPR points in each of his first five games and should continue to be started in 12-plus team leagues. Although the Tennessee Titans have had one of the best defenses in the NFL up to this point, the Lions' offense is potent, and Montgomery has a great role as a primary goal-line rusher.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was in a great position to succeed in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. Not only are the Bills soft against the run, but the Seahawks were projected to rely more heavily on Walker with DK Metcalf (knee) out. Walker only received nine carries and turned those carries into just twelve yards. The Seahawks could not get anything going on offense and committed several self-inflicted wounds that would derail their afternoon. The game got away from the Seahawks in the second quarter and they completely abandoned the run. Geno Smith ultimately led the team in rushing with 16 yards. This was a forgettable game for an otherwise solid offense in 2024. Expect a better day from Walker in Week 9 when the Seahawks play the Los Angeles Rams. After all, every player has a dud every once in a while.
