Should I Start David Montgomery?

David Montgomery Could See Larger Workload in Favorable Week 12 Matchup

Saturday, November 22, 1:09 AM

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery was held in check by the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, recording 27 rushing yards on just six carries. Montgomery has now failed to score a touchdown in four out of his last five games, cracking 45 rushing yards just once in that span. While there's no question Montgomery has taken a backseat to Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs this season, there could be reason for optimism around Montgomery's outlook for Week 12 against the New York Giants. Through 11 weeks, New York is allowing the most yards per carry (5.5) to opposing running backs in the NFL. The Giants have also given up 15 rushing touchdowns, tied for second-most among NFL defenses. If there's a game for Montgomery to rediscover his touchdown-scoring ways, it could be against New York. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid RB2 option in Week 12.
