Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on David Montgomery

PodcastWeek 3 Fantasy RecapSeptember 28, 2026

From the episode

I'm nervous about David Montgomery as well. So far this season, he's averaging 2.8 yards for carry. He's had one run, literally one run of 10 or more yards. Like, there's just no explosiveness to David Montgomery.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Montgomery averaging 2.8 yards per carry with no explosive runs; preseason sleeper pick not materializing.

David Montgomery is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry with only one run of 10+ yards through Week 3, showing no explosiveness; despite being a Matthew Berry preseason sleeper pick based on expected volume in a run-heavy offense, the Chargers' offensive line struggles and inability to establish the run game have undermined his fantasy value.
