Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery delivered a dominant performance in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, rushing 15 times for 75 yards and two touchdowns while adding 20 yards on three receptions in a 52-6 victory. Montgomery posted his season-best fantasy outing, ranking as the RB3 going into Sunday night. This marks his third multi-touchdown game of the season and his eighth game with a touchdown in 10 appearances. Montgomery continues to maximize his opportunities in Detroit's high-powered offense, thriving alongside Jahmyr Gibbs in a dynamic backfield. He remains a strong RB option with TD upside heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery is poised for a productive Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars' vulnerable run defense. Montgomery has been a Top-15 PPR fantasy RB this season, averaging 15.6 touches and 78.4 total yards per game, with four touchdowns in his last five outings. Known for his power and red zone efficiency, he ranks ninth in red zone touches and fourth in total touchdowns, making him a reliable scoring threat. Jacksonville has struggled to contain running backs, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to the position, and the fourth-highest explosive run rate. With the Jaguars also ranking poorly against the run, Montgomery should find opportunities to extend his productivity. He remains an RB2 option with touchdown upside in a favorable matchup.
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery contributed in the Lions' 26-23 win over the Houston Texans in Week 10, recording 12 carries for 32 yards, a touchdown, and a 24-yard catch. Montgomery scored his eighth rushing touchdown of the season on a short three-yard run in the third quarter, salvaging an otherwise modest fantasy outing. Since returning from the bye, Montgomery's fantasy production has dipped, reaching 15+ points in only one of the last five games after starting the season strong. Despite the recent slump, he remains a steady RB2 option, especially with his team-leading nine touchdowns. Montgomery will look to rebound in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery faces a challenging matchup in Week 10 against a stingy Houston Texans run defense. Montgomery, a Top-15 back in fantasy points per game, has been reliablefinding the endzone in six of eight games, ranking sixth in both red zone touches and total touchdowns. He's averaging 15.9 touches and 81.1 total yards per game, and he ranks 13th among qualifying backs in missed tackles forced per attempt. Houston's defense has been tough on running backs, allowing just under 115 rushing yards per game. They also rank fifth in lowest rushing success rate and third in fewest missed tackles. If Detroit can establish their ground game early, they'll likely lean heavily on their backfield as they have much of this season. He remains a touchdown-dependent RB2 in this matchup.
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery put up a modest fantasy performance in the Week 9 win over the Green Bay Packers, finishing well outside of the top 15 RBs this week. Montgomery led the team in rushing with 17 carries for 73 yards, outpacing teammate Jahmyr Gibbs, but he was held out of the end zone for only the second time this season. He contributed in the passing game with three receptions for 23 yards, pushing his total to double digits in PPR leagues. However, this week marked his second-worst fantasy performance of the season, though his steady yardage and volume still make him a reliable RB2. He'll aim to rebound in Week 10 against the Houston Texans.
