Who Should I Start? David Montgomery or Travis Etienne

Friday, November 29, 9:55 AM

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery carried the load during the team's 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. Montgomery logged 21 rush attempts, his second-highest total this season, for 88 yards, while also catching all three of his targets for an additional 36 yards. Montgomery's steady volume led to yet another reliable fantasy outing, marking his eighth game this season with 15 or more fantasy points. As a cornerstone of Detroit's offense, he'll aim to maintain his momentum in a Week 14 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. continued to build on his underwhelming season against the Houston Texans in Week 13. He finished with 46 yards rushing on 13 carries and 12 yards receiving on three receptions. Another single-digit fantasy performance for the 25-year-old back means once again his fantasy managers are left regretting picking him in the second round of fantasy drafts. With Tank Bigsby questionable with an ankle injury heading into the week, Etienne Jr. had a chance to seize the starting role, but failed to stand out. While Bigsby only touched the ball half as much as Etienne Jr. did, he had a higher yards per carry (4.0 to 3.5) and longer longest run (19 to 9). The Jaguars face the Tennessee Titans in Week 14, where Etienne Jr. will most likely get a lower percentage of the backfield touches.
