From the episode

David Montgomery on paper. I don't have him as a fade because like, especially when I look at certain platforms, I'm actually like right in line with where they have them ranked. So I can't call them a fade. But certainly based on and we'll get to this in a second, too, because of the wide receiver stuff.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Montgomery fits dead-zone archetype but JJ can't fade him due to consensus alignment.

JJ Zachariason does not call him a fade because his ranking aligns with platform consensus, but hasn't drafted him heavily due to typical dead-zone flags including weak receiving profile. Fits the archetype of a running back in the dead zone despite being in an objectively good environment.
