Fantasy Football Player Notes

Montgomery's stats from Week 11 won't wow you, but he continues to be one of the most heavily involved RBs in all of fantasy football. In his two games since returning from injury, Montgomery has seen 27 carries on the ground and he's averaging a healthy 4.5 Yards Per Attempt on the season. The scoring opportunities remain limited in this offense with the way it's performing, but this could be a get-right game for Chicago. The Lions defense is being gashed on the ground and they're one of the best matchups in all of fantasy football for opposing RBs. Montgomery should see his standard 15+ touches again in this one and plenty of opportunity to carve up the Lions defense like every dad to the Thanksgiving turkey. Fire up Montgomery as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 this week.

Mooney had a whopping 16 targets this past week against Baltimore and he showed that he can be a WR1 for a NFL team if called upon. Despite the Bears not getting much done on offense, Mooney was able to end the week with 121 yards on five receptions and a touchdown. This total was enough to lead to the highest fantasy point total of Mooney's young career and he's now put together dominant back-to-back performances. (In fact, the past two games are Mooney's two highest fantasy totals ever) In a matchup this week against the Lions defense that seemingly can't slow down anyone at the WR position, Mooney belongs back in starting lineups as a mid-range/low-end WR2 with upside.

Goodwin was able to come up with what should have been the play of the game last week against Baltimore and he had a solid fantasy outing because of it. With Allen Robinson all but declared out already at the time of writing for this game against Detroit, Goodwin at least deserves consideration as a dart-throw FLEX play. However, we can't trust him as anything more than that at this point.

Kmet had started to emerge as a viable fantasy asset finally in this Bears offense prior to Week 11 and it all came crashing back down against the Ravens. Kmet had just two targets and finished with only one reception for 12 yards after putting up a 6-87-0 stat line the week prior. This is a matchup that we should be considering Kmet in, but we simply cannot trust him right now with the state of this offense. Until we see the coaching staff cycle out and the scheme change, Kmet will be nothing more than a volatile play any given week.
