From the episode
Guy scores three touchdowns in the game. The underlying usage, Dago, was not quite as strong. We had Woody Marks playing a ton in this game and running a ton of routes. It was just David Montgomery got the high value touches... Montgomery still handled 70% of the team's backfield touches. So in not moving him and moving him up slightly, I think that's the correct call. And I'm very comfortable to have Montgomery as my RB2.
STACKED’s take
Montgomery holds RB2 rank after three-TD game; 70% backfield touch share supports volume thesis.
Adam Levitan and John Daigle maintain Montgomery at RB2 overall (52nd overall rank) after his three-touchdown outburst against Buffalo. Despite only 3.0 yards per carry against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL, the volume thesis holds: Montgomery handled 70% of team backfield touches with high-value red zone work, and the underlying usage remained strong even with Woody Marks playing significant snaps. Levitan's pre-season argument—that Montgomery offered a better profile than Javante Williams, Kyron Williams, and Travis Etienne at a later ADP—has proven out; Montgomery is RB9 in expected fantasy points and has significant touchdown upside this season.
