David Montgomery Week 13 Outlook - Vikings at Lions

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 2nd 2021, 6:54am EST

In his first three games back from a sprained knee, Montgomery has 44-167-0 rushing and 6-54-0 receiving, averaging 8.4 fantasy points per game over that stretch. Montgomery played at least 85% of Chicago's offensive snaps in all three of those games, so usage isn't the issue. The Bears' mediocre offensive line play is an ongoing concern for Montgomery stakeholders, and this week Monty will be up against an Arizona run defense that's giving up only 15.7 fantasy points per game to running backs. Montgomery is just a midrange RB2 this week. His modest $5,600 price tag on DraftKings will lure some people in, but I worry that he's a trap at that price.
